Staff replied Helix Framework

Google Page Speed (I've read all the articles about it: it's another issue)

Asked by Max 4 years ago Last activity 4 years ago

Dear guys,

first of all I want to thank you for the Helix Ultimate and SP Page Builder. Just out of the box with minimal optimization it gives 98/100 Google Page Speed score. I have been working for 15 years with WordPress before that, and its imporsible to have such great results with WP (where you have to spend many hours of optimization in order to get at best 60/80). So, I love your Helix Ultimate and Joomla very much. Thank you, guys)!..

After I setup my website I had from 96 to 98 Google Page Speed mobile score (please, have a look: https://ibb.co/Yfg7q08). Great job! But...

After I asked you to fix this issue: https://www.joomshaper.com/forum/question/15694 and you kindly fixed it, after that I have now only 82-86 (please, have a look): https://ibb.co/tL2p6hG.

And I didn't changed the website after you fixed the issue.

Can you, please, have a look and return back 96-98 Google Page Speed for mobile?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Max

Hi Max,

Thank you so much.

I will check, but in the meantime I have to ask @Toufiq what changes he made for you.

I hope you know that one day , results can be 95 and next day 87 (or revert) without doing anything. Why? Ask Google eXperts who written that speed test script.

Personally I would recommend using extra Optimization tool (PRO) that move some javascript in the bottom and add .htaccess speed rules (you can take this same from Wordpress, they also works here).

In mobile now you have Score : 91, Desktop: 100.

(I changed only one setting in Template Options)

But hour later can be different score (-/+ 4), it doesn't depends on us, but Random Google testing score.

Wow, thanks, cool). And what have you changed exactly, please, tell me, I will add this change to the main website (this website is a staging one).

but in the meantime I have to ask @Toufiq what changes he made for you.

Did you ask @Toufiq what changes he made? May be this will help to get extra 5 points more. Please, ask him to have a look.

As far as I see, Helix Ultimate is a killer of paid speed optimization tools. Why on Earth should I pay for any tool if I can have 98/100 Google Page Speed score using Helix framework out of the box? I can use it as it is with minimal optimization and I will have the highest possible page speed). You can use this quote on the landing page for Helix Ultimate, indicate me as an author (Max Wilhard) and I will confirm if somebody asks me)...

As I remeber Enabled CSS compression and Disabled FA in Template options.
??? He don't rember, but I guess something small.
Yes and No. Becuase after you will add more content and other extensions your site will be heaver anyway. It's like with the car, with one person is fast, with 3-4 persons inside, not this same.

Sorry I don't have more ideas without using extra plugin or template code customization to speed up Mobile more.
