I am testing the speed of my site with http://gtmetrix.com/ and I am comparing the old geotheme and the new geodirectory. I am testing the same listing ( I even have 4 more photos on the geotheme site) and the comparation is 🙁 Have a look at the stats below.To be honest I have not done any changes on the css or whatsoever .I am using the default template and I do not have any plugins other than the Geodirectory ones.

Old Geotheme with booster
Page load time: 4.31s
Total page size: 1.52MB
Total number of requests: 60

New Geodirectory with booster and enfold theme
Page load time: 10.19s
Total page size: 2.83MB
Total number of requests: 146

New Geodirectory with booster with geotheme child theme
Page load time: 10.97s
Total page size: 2.48MB
Total number of requests: 136

Any advise?

Regards

Is there any way to improve this?

Also i will be looking at optimisation of GD in the next few weeks, the plan is to have me on full time optimisation/ documentation writing until we are happy with both.

Thanks,

Stiofan

But 1.25mb is not a large page size these days, most yelp pages are about 2mb.

Thanks,

Stiofan

The problem is that to get down to that you have to remove absolutely all the Geodirectory features and plugins. If you add them you will always go well over 2mb. And to be honest I do not have the infrastucture or resources that Yell has. So it is like having a Ferrari in the garage but having to use a ford fiesta because the Ferrari consumes too much petrol!!!
Anyway, I am sure many improvements will come to tackle this. Until then I will keep my site to a minimum. How does cloudfare sound like? Any feedback on that?

Thanks

I used to use cloudflare all the time but recently had a few problems with them and i have disabled it on all my sites, but i would still give them a try, i just have not had the time to investigate my problems with them. Just be aware not to enable “rocketloader”

Thanks,

Stiofan
