[Tip] Optimizing googles analytic script page load time

Hello World,
With the recent updates required for contact pages, Ive moved everything over to CloudFlare. While digging around in there, I noticed they had a google app. While I was in the process of trying to optimize my site's page load time. I removed the tracking Javascript code from the site. It has always been a frustrating bottleneck in the past. Was going to try another method of tracking, to see if that would increase the site speed.

Until I tested the CloudFlare google analytic app. Its Wayyyy Quicker to just have them deal with it. Shaved off another 1/2 second because of it.

TLDR: Setup CloudFlare, and use their Google app to reduce page load time. If the script is slowing down things.

 

I was using a cloudflare but I thinks its a useless for me. so i remove it from my site.

 

Cloudflare too create headache for me. Its slow down my site. I just remove it and my site loading speed increase drastically. Cloudflare free option is just useless.

 

I used to have the same problem, so i totally understand where you are coming from.
You do have to spend some time optimizing it.

2gb ram/2 core cpu
900kb pages load super fast for INTL areas.
(server is based in Texas)

Around 1second for local.

It's possible. Only using a digital ocean VPS and a free CloudFlare account.

 

Here is my setup:

Server:
2gb ram/2 core cpu
(server is based in Texas)

Wordpress Plugins:
