Performance Test Score Benchmark

Hi,

Been using Hummingbird for quite some time now, although something just seems a bit odd recently!

I’ve always had around a 85-94 score on the Performance Score although now there’s one image which can be reduced by a further 101KB which has now tanked my score to 66.

What I’m after is, what is the algorithms you use to determine the score? I find it quite hard to believe that a 101KB reduction would take the score down by a third.

Can’t even reduce the image further as WP Smush says there’s no more optimisations to make 🙁

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Hi @michaeleasycount,

Hummingbird is using the Google PageSpeed tests to calculate the score.

From what I can see now, it seems you have a dynamic javascript file that has no gzip compression. I would recommend going over your theme settings and checking to see if there are any optimization options there.

Regarding images. I see that a lot of the images do not fit the container they are placed in. For example, EasyCount-GIF-Final-Web.gif is resized in HTML or CSS from 634×1080 to 272×463. You would need to set proper thumbnail sizes in your theme to properly resize images.

The Optimize images section is recommending to compress png images. If you are not using transparency, it is recommended to convert png to jpg.

Best regards,
Anton

Hi Anton,

Thanks for the informative response – I’ll try these two suggestions out!

Just quickly, how can I view what images don’t fit their container? I could only find one on the homepage.

Hello @michaeleasycount,

hope you’re doing well today and don’t mind me chip in here! 🙂

Just quickly, how can I view what images don’t fit their container? I could only find one on the homepage.

You can either use our Smush plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/
that provides a “Detect and show incorrectly sized images” option

or use the “manual” way via browser’s dev tools:

Warm regards,
Dimitris
