89% pagescore but 15s load-time (mobile)

well, the 2s waiting for the initial response (HTML) is way to long, consider installing a page cache plugin (e.g. keycdn cache enabler or wp super cache).

secondly, /wp-content/uploads/2020/02/milky-way-star-starry-sky-2740762.jpg might be too big (just under half a MB) and is responsible for 8s of the loadtime, see if you can get this down somehow.

but take into account you’re testing a Brazil site from Canada, which likely is irrelevant. if you create a (free) account at gtmetrix you can test from their Sao Paulo location which will be more interesting for you ??

have a nice sunday!

Hi Frank! Thanks for the tips.
I reduced the image you mentioned above (its size is now about 100kb) and installed WP Fastest Cache (WP Super Cache doesn’t seem to work on my site. None of the pages were chached at all).

I got a nice improvement on gtmetrix while testing the desktop version from “Sao Paulo, Brazil” server. It is now down from 5.3s to 3.7s.

Unfortunately, there’s no option to test the mobile version from a brazilian server. So I ran the mobile test from vancouver, Canada, and the results are the same. However, when I open my website on my own phone (with cleared cache) and also on other two phones that I have access, the load time seems to be around 4 or 5 seconds. Wich is good for me ??

Anyway, do you think I could still improve something to reduce that fully load time when accessing from other countries?

I’m also using cloudflare which is provided by my hosting service.

Thank you so much!

based on these tests (webpagetest from sao paulo, 4G bandwidth, emulated mobile browser) your main problem still is the time to first byte. could be due to cloudflare actually, as it has to re-fetch the HTML from your server, so you _could_ test without cloudflare?

other pointer; you’re inlining all CSS, but that bloats the HTML (and explains why your content download of that HTML is also big). if you need CSS to be non-render-blocking, you should look into “inline & defer CSS” instead, see the AO FAQ for more info.

lastly; I think you’re on a litespeed server, in which case you might not need wp fastest cache as litespeed has great page caching abilities (and can even do a lot of the things AO does too), maybe check with your host how to get that going?
