Optimizing a Website – Speed and Mobile

Documenting my attempts to optimize my site.

Going to use Page Speed,  , as well as tips from: //conceptclarity.ca/speed-optimization-tips-from-wpmu-dev/

— Second set of tests will be: http://speedtest.serverresources.info/

Step 1: Starting stats
Using Google Page Speed Insights 3 times (I have found it can vary wildly)
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=conceptclarity.ca&tab=desktop
Results: mobile/Desktop
Run 1: 59/79
Run 2: 63/79
Run 3: 65/79

Ok, minor differences, but it gives a base. I am going to go through the suggested steps to see how I can improve this.

Step 2:

 

Leverage Browser Caching:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <staticContent>
      <clientCache cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="7.00:00:00" />
    </staticContent>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

This does static files for 7 days.
