Is they a module or maybe a script that can reduce page load time on my Drupal website? It's taken about an average of "978.68 ms" for execution time for my pages. Is that load time good, average or poor for a website? There is no advertising nor any huge graphics or images on any of the pages! My load time is located on the footer of the website, PM and I will fwd you the url and maybe you guys can paste your load time results in this thread! I don't want to make my website public as yet, it's still being designed, so I prefer to PM the url to whom ever is interested in testing the load time! All and any suggestion are welcome! Thanks,
loadtime is calculated for the generation html page only... so in general it says it takes 978 milliseconds from the call of the index.php until the database server has completed the database query and given back to data to the webserver which finally sends to generated html to your browser. short: time from start to end of php execution. if you use many images or not, small or big, has nothing to do with the page generation time. almost 1 second to generate a page is a pretty long time. try some of the drupal caching modules, or even better, for the semi-static content, use an addon-cache which you could hire me to customly code and install it for you
well, im not a regular drupal user, i can only recommend you to do further research on the keywords "drupal cache" or "drupal caching". after half an hour of reading you should be pro on this
I have a fairly heavily modified drupal site (~70 modules loaded, some of them quite large as we have our whole CRM system based in drupal), and even clearing out the caches and loading from scratch, I get: Page execution time was 357.01 ms. Normally (all cached up) it's around 40/50ms.... 60ms tops. I would definitely suggest going into the admin -> Performance section and tweaking that some. We run with: Caching: Normal Mimimal Lifetime: (None) Page Compression: Off (Apache is handling this for us) Block Cache: On Optimize CSS: On Optimize Javascript: On (Caching and Block Cache being the two that are most important regarding page execution time.. the CSS/Javascript ones are more for helping the client download the page/files faster) The speed of your site (and what things you can do in order to make it faster) is going to depend greatly on your setup... are you on a shared host, VPS, or dedicated box? For us, the site runs on a VPS, so we were able to install APC into the setup, which cut our execution times *greatly* (by about a factor of 10... we were seeing 400-600ms before APC). If your on a standard shared host, it's not out of the possible that a second is the best your going to get... (One note, the "page execution time" tag is normally only seen by logged in admins I believe, so regular visitors don't see it)
