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?

Time to First Byte At 450ms for a anon user, this is not that great. Easiest way to make it better is using a better server with faster CPU. I get half of that here on Meta. Site Size 2.4MB for a website is crazy. Reduce that ASAP. Meta sits at 816KB currently, and that’s somewhat heavy, but we have made it better last year, and will make it better this year too. Requests Your site have double (120) the request count of Meta. We know HTTP2 makes it better to have many requests, and saved us from the inline-everything dark ages, but this isn’t an excuse to use 100+ requests to draw a webpage. Plugin stravaganza Last time I checked you have more than 10 third-party plugins. Well, as some guy said The best code is no code at all. If you really want all those cool plugins, well you have to pay the speed price.

Where have you hosted your site? Can you please tell us your specification of the hosting account?

Then the poor loading time is not releated with hosting issues. Anyway, you should try to increase the RAM, as you have significant amount of users in your forum.

Maybe not the only cause, but PageSpeed Insights has two “should fix” If you have custom script in maybe try it in instead? Maybe this is using full weight images resized with CSS?

[image] Alavi1412: Amazon web Service / Micro. I’m sorry if I’m reading this wrong. Are you saying that you’re on the AWS t2.micro instance size? The instance size with 1GB of RAM and 1 vCPU? You’re probably hitting CPU constraints, if not RAM constraints due to your plugin load. From the AWS docs: T2 instances are Burstable Performance Instances that provide a baseline level of CPU performance with the ability to burst above the baseline. The baseline performance and ability to burst are governed by CPU Credits. Each T2 instance receives CPU Credits continuously at a set rate depending on the instance size. With a Micro instance, you’re getting 6 CPU credits/hour, and that’s not great. You’d probably be better off migrating to the Digital Ocean equivalent tier, which is $10/mo, or even the DO $20/mo tier that offers double the RAM.

Thanks for explaning. I have already mentioned it to him, but I was busy At that moment. @Alavi1412 should consider this and make neccessary changes

Sorry sir for the not-updated information, it’s on a t2 small instance, which is 2G ram and 12cpu/hour. I don’t thing we need more cpu/ram with the amount of traffic we have, currently. is there any way to measure this?

You could try safe mode and see if the network conditions improve at all. That would tell you that your plugins are a big cause. Rafael’s points are still very valid. You need to have a beefy box if you’re going to run tons of plugins to compensate for the increased load.
