Optimising my website?

    I ran a web report on my website to check how long it takes to get on and the results came back:

    14.4K 741.31 seconds
    28.8K 377.45 seconds
    33.6K 325.47 seconds
    56K 200.72 seconds
    ISDN 128K 70.91 seconds
    T1 1.44Mbps 18.57 seconds

    Some of the biggies that seam to be slowing it are my javascript and css codes:

    TOTAL_OBJECTS – Warning! The total number of objects on this page is 68.
    TOTAL_SCRIPT – Warning! The total number of external script files on this page is 8.
    SCRIPT_SIZE – Warning! The total size of external your scripts is 208373 bytes, which is over 20K.
    CSS_SIZE – Warning! The total size of your external CSS is 28235 bytes, which is over 20K.

    How would I go about reducing these sizes or compressing them to ensure they still work but means less size to load.

    Thanks

    P.S website is http://www.deewon.com if needed.

    Anyone? could it be a case of my web host being a bit slow?

    For your style.css or others you can compress with this. Just add back your theme information at the top of the style.css after compress. Don’t need double spacing on every line.

    Modify the defaults…
    Uncheck “Leave space between selectors”, “Leave space between properties”. Check “Remove all newlines”. Check “Strip ALL comments”

    I usually uncheck the colors codes compression just to not take any chance in messing up my colors.

    It will be hard to read the css after compressed so keep a uncompressed_style.css copy for development.

    Thanks 🙂 that got me down to:

    14.4K 633.60 seconds
    28.8K 323.20 seconds
    33.6K 278.86 seconds
    56K 172.43 seconds
    ISDN 128K 61.69 seconds
    T1 1.44Mbps 17.04 seconds

    My website does have alot of images which I have compressed with photoshop so there is not much I can do about that taking up load, just need to working on maybe reducing my javascript load time?

    do you use any caching?

    There are a variety of plugins to check out, super cache, quick cache, w3 cache

    I haven’t put any in, I’m guessing the website gets cached anyway and that report is on a first visit basis. Just want to make sure before I launch that people coming don’t wait longer than they have to if I put the effort of compressing in.
