Hi, DP Member, Tomorrow I have installed SSL certificate on one of my site for just testing CloudFlare free RSA SSL certificate. I have checked with all Internet browsers & I found my SSL certificate working fine but the problem is after SSL implemented on the site speed decreased to very low. Now I need all of your help Note:- W3TC installed as my site on WordPress. Checked with WordPress Super Cache Plugin but no change. https://www.coolwallpaper.online
can you check in other internet connection? because sometime your internet provider having some problem realted internet that is why also happen this problem.
Dear, Thanks for your help. I have tested my site speed from Google page speed insight & Gmetrix . The topics is not about my internet connection speed , Topic is after activating SSL certificate on my site , page speed insight showing me 63 out of 100.
listen man sometime internet over https getting problem m facing this in my office whenever i open any site opening smooth and when opening https sites getting error ssl or not load completely. after that our network admin adding some certificates in my browser and finally m getting excellent speed in opening https site.
Dear, Why you are unable to understand? I am testing my site performance from a third party tool which made by Google. Page Speed Insight. Google "page speed insight" read all about Then come on this post
And WHY does Google PageSpeed Insight report 63/100? You get more information. What does Google suggest you fix/improve/do to increase speed? Also, be aware that Google PSI isn't infallible - it might report something that isn't a real problem. You said you implemented Cloudflare - does Cloudflare have servers close by (local) to where you are? Cloudflare may increase speed, but it's nothing magical about it - it just diverts traffic to closer nodes, which enables requests to go through faster - if there are no Cloudflare servers locally, you might as well drop it alltogether - however, other people might experience better speed, if they're situated at other locations.
Free SSL is never a good option anyways. CloudFlare is terrible IMO. And PoPSiCLe is right, Google PSI could also be giving you false pos/neg. When I buy hosting I take server locations into account depending on the website I'm creating. Right now my hosting company has servers located in Dallas, Texas. This is a central location in the US. Making it much more easy for people in North America to access my site. Now people in Russia for example may have a slower load average because of the distance. Right now if you where in the US, my marketplace/forum has a load time of 751ms...That is faster than FaceBook. (even though facebook is uber large) In closing buy hosting closest to your target audience and look at Comodo SSL, its like $6 a year.
Free SSL doesn't HAVE to be bad - using Let's Encrypt myself (which is free, but not hosted) and it doesn't really affect my pages negatively as far as I can tell.
CloudFlare free SSL also worked well on my site. The problem was them I have changed my theme & now I am getting 85/100 .
Install free letsencrypt certificates on your server and enable HTTP2. Cloudflare with SSL works but it can slow down. If concerned only about the pagespeed score then just follow the recommendations, usually optimizing javascript and css delivery will help.
