Optimizing Discourse for Core Web Vitals
The discussion revolves around optimizing a Discourse site to improve its Core Web Vitals, specifically FCP (First Contentful Paint), LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift), and Time to Interactive.
maverhick is looking for a developer to help with these issues, offering a budget of $500-$1000. IAmGav suggests moving content to an S3 Bucket and implementing a CDN, as well as upgrading host memory and CPU, but maverhick mentions that these steps have already been taken.
IAmGav then points out potential issues with the integration of WordPress and Discourse, as well as broken links on the site. However, maverhick asks to keep the discussion focused on performance-related issues.
pfaffman notes that 429 request errors may be due to excessive requests from link checkers. pfaffman offers to help with the optimization, mentioning that Discourse is a large web app and first-page loads may be slow.
Hello,
We are using the latest version of discourse and due to speed issues, we are ranking not so well on google. I am checking to see if there are developers here who can work with us to get our FCP / LCP / CLS and Time to Interactive in good shape.
If someone can make such changes as above and ensure the changes can survive an upgrade, we would be very happy to work with the developer to head down the path of optimizing discourse
Our budget for this task is 500USD$ - 1000 US$
Thanks
Moving you content to an S3 Bucket and implements CDN should speed up your discourse.
Also upgrading your host Memory and CPU will speed up your discourse
These are already done
your problem is the way you integrated WordPress with Discourse and then the broken links on your site.
example:
using an dead link checker, it gives you multiple issues
How is this related to the specific performance-related issues I spoke about in the original post? Can we please keep the discussion on track. Happy to discuss the broken URLs and their impact over DM
429 requests errors are like because the link checker is making too many requests.
I can help if you have an obvious misconfiguration or need tuning. Discourse is a large web app, so the first page loads slowly.
You can check the performance of this site, for example. You aren’t likely to do much better.
