Faizan_Zahid is seeking a developer to improve the performance of https://howtodiscuss.com, aiming to achieve 100% scores on PageSpeed Insights, Pingdom, and GTmetrix, and pass Core Web Vitals. Despite using a 32GB RAM server, Cloudflare, Bunny.net CDN, and server-side tuning, the site hasn’t met performance targets. Faizan is open to a fast, lightweight HTML version for first-time visitors and is offering a budget of $250–$500. Faizan_Zahid notes that even after implementing the new Discourse splash loader, performance improvements haven’t been sufficient. pfaffman asks about the impact of the splash loader, which Faizan_Zahid confirms hasn’t resolved the issue. The goal is a persistent, fast solution compatible with future Discourse updates.
I want someone who can work on improving my client side and server side of all pages of https://howtodiscuss.com and pass its core web vital scores and acheive 100% score on page speed insights, and A score on pingdom speed test and Gtmetrix.
I did try cloudflare and bunny net cdn before but they both didn’t help much in getting my targets achieved. So not using them now. Did some server side tuning too in app.yaml but still not getting where I want the site to be. It is already on a 32 GB RAM server.
The fast site solution should persist through all discourse updates.
I need to do this to improve my site SEO rankings and provide better user experience to readers.
My budget is between 250 to 500 usd, but can discuss also.
Yes jay, I am on latest. You already have access to the site and server if you want to check if you can improve any further. This time I need client side and server side both improvements and guranteed passing core web vitals and getting A score 100% in all tools.
By new loader, are you talking about the web only separate container thing? I have still not acheived the targets I wanted and what Google wants.
Even after the splash loader update, I still haven’t noticed my core web vitals passing that’s why I am still looking for someone who can fix my site speed for me or perhaps make a super fast light HTML only version for all pages of my discourse site for first time visitors, so all of them get fast, excellent user experience and pass core web vitals for my entire site.
