    Hello

    Well I was shocked ( I know Shawn has put tremendous efforts in dp :p ) to see pagespeed analysis results on dp forum.Its 87 !!!

    I've browsed through tons of vb forums.But never got results above 80.


    Can anyone put light on increasing pagespeed result on vb ?

    Thank You

    Yes, vBulletin 4 returns those values. The platform is still too bloated, in my opinion, so I agree with the result.

    Google introduced in this month pagespeed into their ranking algorithm. Basically, they take into account the size of a page, optimization of images, css, and javascript and other factors, and this will count against the ranking of your pages. How much influence this will have has yet to be seen.

    Google also developed a plugin for Firefox to help you check the pagespeed of your websites, and you can also use Google Webmaster Tools to see how good is the pagespeed of your websites.

    My forum www.patientenfragen.net (vB4) has 83/100

    Took quite some work though to optimize it for this.

    The nice part is that pagespeed tells you what to do to fix issues ;)

    I definetly subscribe to setting up multiple hostnames to serve common image components. This provided me with the best improvement on my pagespeed.

    (and yes, I like the firefox addon for analysis too)
