Graph Milestones

Milestones indicate the approximate date when the Web server was moved from one location to another. We specifically did not perform measurements at the time of the move (DNS requests may receive a different IP for the same domain from different locations, where the testing servers are located). Therefore we have the graph with two or more segments. It's a data measured before and after webserver was moved to the new location.

Why the low latency is important with this site as an example

To display this website browser needs to download 53 objects. Though modern browsers use parallel connection now, we'll simplify the conditions and calculate the time spent by the browser for these sites in a single-threaded mode. Time required to establish HTTP connection only: + preparation of the webserver response. Number 3 in the formula is a three phase of a TCP connection: sending a SYN request from the client to the server, sending ASK + SYN from the server to the client and the ASK sending from the client to the server. Though we can not calculate the time for a webserver response, the total time for sending and receiving requests for each of the object will be: Of course, modern browsers use several simultaneous connections to download content from a domain (from 2 to 8 at the time of writing this document). And in some browsers the number of connections can be set manually (Opera). But, if you impose these data on the first site Dota-utilities.com from the latency table for the city Mountain view, it turns out that the difference in time only for the sending and receiving requests to the web server could be: 0.48 sec. Sure, making such calculations must always take into account the audience site, and always make an accent on the fact that the server should always be so geographically closer to the primary audience as it possible. Also we recommend to pay attention to an article about importance of the latency on our site.

Page Speed Test

   

Page Speed

Page Speed is a key factor in the website speed estimations (along with DNS lookup speed and website latency). Speed of the page loading, sophisticated subdomains usage for static content (images, css), optimized code (html, js), hosting on fast servers with good latency to its audience leads to good results and, ultimately, to a good website profitability.

While conducting tests we emulate a visit your website using the browser Firefox 3.5.6. Test results of the page loading listed in this table:

Ways to improve website performance

Once the document (website's main page) has been downloaded, we analyze it. It allows us to give webmasters some recommendations on how to optimize page load speed. We analyze the internal and external factors.

Reduse DNS Resolve

Browsers must resolve site's hosts to display all of the elements of the Panoramio.com's page. Every domain name resolve requires a time, which precedes the load from a specific domain. You can speed up page loading by reducing the number of hosts, from which elements of the page are loaded.

Combine Small Images Into One

To display a page, a browser needs to load a lot of small images. Try to combine images into one and display them via CSS. This technology is called 'CSS Sprites'. It helps you reduce the number of requests to the web server, which in turn also requires time and bandwidth. For more details about this technology read our manual.

Try to combine JavaScript files into one file.

This will reduce the time for requests for files and reduce the number of requests to the web server.

Keep Components under 25K

Users often visit web site using a mobile phone. Even the most modern and advanced gadgets have some limitations. For example an iPhone browser do not cache page components bigger than 25K. So you should strive to ensure that scripts, CSS-styles, etc. are less than 25K.

Avoid 301 & 302 Redirects

Redirect allows you to make website or page available under many URLs. Webmasters use redirects when their sites change domain name, several websites are merged into one, document is moved too a new location, etc. Using a redirect delays content obtaining. Any delay negatively affects on the user experience. We've detected that page has 1 redirects before page components start loading. The following list contains some of these redirects:
Try to reduce the number unnecessary redirects.

Use the TITLE for A tag

As we have already mentioned, search engine bots can not see the site like a people do it. They more focused on the descriptions of certain page elements. That's why we strongly recommend use TITLE operator in the "A" tag. This operator not only describes the page referenced by the page more detailed, but also takes part in the page describing. For example, you have the link on your website:

63.

<a href="/signup/">sign up</a>

We suggest you to remake it in this way:

63.

<a href="/signup/" title="el salvador">sign up</a>

Of course, you can (and should) use more proper phrase instead of the "el salvador" that describes the link /signup/.
