Website Speed Slllloooowwwww

[Kaleb (@flowgurus)]

Hi guys!

For some reason when I launched this website dragonroofing.com.au it was loading under 2seconds and now it’s loading at around 4-5 seconds.

Any ideas how to get back under the 2 second mark??

Thanks so much!

Hi Kaleb,

let me share a tool that I use for the SEO of my websites. The easiest way for you to get back under the 2 second mark would be to optimize your pictures and use a .htaccess file on your server (external hosting only). Look at the GTmetrix analysis of your website.

If you need a htaccess file PM me.

It’s loading in about 2 seconds on my poor home connection, if that can make things better for you :—)

Thanks justafish! Yeah, we’ve got to jump in and work those images it seems. Appreciate the input

Thanks Vincent! What are you using to measure the website speed and can I ask what location you’re measuring it from?

Thanks a bunch!

Cheers Anton! Can I ask what you are using to measure the website speed and what location you’re measuring it from? It’s been a tricky one. Weird that it WAS loading fast and now it’s not.

Thanks so much!

@Kaleb, audited the site with Google Lighthouse with simulated throttling (4G 4x CPU slowdown) from Berlin Germany.
