Our site’s speed is very low, we have disabled widgets and extra JavaScript codes but still site has a very low speed, we have scanned our site but the scanner told has to fix some emberjs codes and we don’t want to modify the discourse source code. How can we speed up our site?

[image] Pad_Pors: how can one find out what is the size for? Well, Chrome DevTools (F12) gives you the size of every asset.

Dear Padpors, I have just tried to debunk the the information. One of the reasons behind the large homepage loading size may be due to the huge numbers of photos in the homepage. [image] Whooping high number of images, which are scaled and non scaled in your website. That’s the reason of large size

I would like to say, somehow try implementing Lazy loading and load only a few images and few topics, Now your site loads 11*3 = 33 topics in one go. Reduce it to load about 6 topic with images in the homepage. Which will reduce the initial loading images. Doing so will reduce about 1 MB of page size. Hope you will figure it out

Photos can be removed. I am concerned [image] 1. number of loaded js files 2. their total volume. 3MB! that’s a lot.

Yeah! @kemporu, I didn’t notice that. That is too much for js files. It is enough to make old system and old browsers go unresponsive

But, look at the time taken to load the images, it is way more than those js files.

Way more?! If my math is right, that’s like 23 minutes :scream: If that is with the Topic List Previews plugin disabled, that leaves the avatars? Is the site using a CDN?

I guess not! If they had used CDN’s the loading time might have been much better.

[image] Seriously something is wrong with the image loading, I got a very quick client side loading speed in mozilla (2 mbps link) after disabling image loading

we use cloudflare. @EducatorWaji I don’t get it! the site doesn’t load after 23 min. plus the site size is more or less the same (only 500kb different) with or without the images. as this reply show. i’m more or less confused now! :astonished: after disabling topic preview only avatars + js files remains. but which js file? no other js is active on homepage (rather than ga).
