May i know how to you get these report from your site?

Is it you get it from Google PageSpeed Tools?

If yes, perhaps you can provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so I can better have a check.

Hello,

Yes. This is from Google's pagespeed test.

Not giving backend access but please let me know what you would look at, and I will do so. Thank you!

Pagespeed is not entirely accurate and I dislike their algorithm because it gives a lot of false impression that your site is slow. The best way to get better results from Pagespeed is to install mod_pagespeed for your web server and enable pagespeed to compress scripts and css on your site.

Ahh! Mark you are an angel. I did just install mod_pagespeed for Apache 2.4 (so had to do the .so patches bit because mod_pagespeed isn't happy with Apache 2.4 otherwise -- some trivia for anyone else considering installing it)

I have zero idea what to do now that it is installed. I know I have to go edit my config file. I know where it is and am ready to do it -- but what settings work best for ES 2.0? Any hints?

thanks,

Bridgette

Hello Bridgette,

Most of them are pretty standard as activating pagespeed itself already helps speed things up but this is the part which we used on most of our sites,

[gist]
ModPagespeedEnableFilters rewrite_javascript,rewrite_css
ModPagespeedEnableFilters collapse_whitespace,elide_attributes
ModPagespeedEnableFilters move_css_to_head,move_css_above_scripts
ModPagespeedEnableFilters remove_comments,collapse_whitespace
ModPagespeedEnableFilters combine_javascript,convert_jpeg_to_webp
ModPagespeedEnableFilters make_google_analytics_async
ModPagespeedEnableFilters rewrite_images,recompress_images,extend_cache_images,sprite_images
ModPagespeedEnableFilters lazyload_images
ModPagespeedCriticalImagesBeaconEnabled false
[/gist]

However, I would suggest that you run some trial / errors before blindly applying this on a live site as it may affect your site.

Thank you very much. I will try these and run some tests to adjust as needed.

I really appreciate this as it gives me a starting point!

No problem
