I'm trying to improve the loading speed of one of my sites. The main thing it keeps failing on is JS Querys. I don't even know what the are, or how I can fix them. The other is server response time. I have no idea how to fix these things. Can anyone advise what I should do? It is a wordpress site.

thanks

    Try some ways like zip codes in javascript and css files, optimize images with gif type, shorthand code.

  • Freemeal,

    You should contact your web host about improving your server response time. You will find that some hosts are better than others when it comes to that. As for your JS queries, I’m not sure exactly what you mean by that. Are you talking about http requests for javascript files? If so, you can defer parsing of javascript files on pages where they are not necessary. If you are using a CMS there are a lot of plugins available to do this for you (I would recommend not doing it manually as it can cause errors). If you have a custom solution you can add a line of code to javascript tags on pages where those scripts are not used. Although if you are confused already you probably won’t know which pages use your website’s scripts and which don’t. You can learn more about deferring parsing here,

    Alternatively, you could check out Google’s Page Speed service (https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/service ) however I would be careful using it without researching a little. I have read some people had issues with their rank in SERPs after implementation.

    Hope that helps,

    Shawn

    I like to use WebPagetest - Website Performance and Optimization Test as the site gives a complete analysis and you can get tips keyed to your results as to how to improve load speed.

    You may be able to save some load time using Google hosted libraries (jQuery) https://developers.google.com/speed/libraries/

    ...Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just set there.

    Thanks for the answers.

    the Query string message is this "Remove query strings from static resources", then it lists some image URL's and some other things. How do I fix this?

    Replace those queries with the HTML that was generated from the queries.

    w3tc or any other cache plugin usually helps. If not you'll have to dig into the code and change it from php to html.
