GT Metrix issue

  • Hello,

    I was checking the website today on GT Metrix and on the waterfall feature, I found that under the “Post” section, that it was taking around 500 ms to load. Upon further investigation I found this code that was causing the issue action=tptn_tracker&top_ten_id=261&top_ten_blog_id=1&activate_counter=11&top_ten_debug=1

    Is this the top 10 tracker? Is there anyway you can reduce the load that this is causing? or are there any settings that I can toggle with to reduce/eliminate this issue?

    Warm regards

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    My understanding on the header lines is that it indicates to the browser that there is actually no content coming out of the request and it’s not some random error or blank page.

    I’d suggest keeping the lines in, as I’m going to update the code to reflect that as it’s also what I have for the other trackers.

    The tracking will happen in the background.

    Hello,
    Okay got your point about the headers.

    I did some more tests today. These are the results:

    Staging with fast tracker (no code altered)
    top 10 tracker = 440 ms, 418 ms
    fast tracker = 1.4 ms, 1.2 ms

    Staging with fast tracker (echo line deleted)
    top 10 tracker = 474 ms, 483 ms
    fast tracker = 336 ms, 302 ms

    Staging with fast tracker (header line)
    top 10 tracker = 477 ms, 464 ms
    fast tracker = 215 ms, 295 ms

    The fast tracker numbers have improved but I am not sure about the top 10 tracker numbers.

    Are those normal?

    The Top 10 tracker is just the loading of the JS like any other JS that you load on your page.

    The Fast Tracker is what then calls and updates the database. This is Ajax and should run asynchronously.

    I think these are decent. Note that these also heavily depend on the server and like other parts of your site would be the balance of throwing in a lot of server resources for the higher speeds.

    Cool!

    Will implement on the live website then!

    Thanks for your help
