Please explain bad GTMetrix score

Asked by Remco 4 years ago Last activity 4 years ago

Hi,

Because I doubted my reseller hosting, I bought a hosting package elsewhere with very good performance. I installed Joomla 4 on it. I have checked GTMetrix what the score was.

A-score:

Then I installed SP Page Builder Pro in combination with Helix Ultimate. After that I created 1 homepage in page builder and chose a standard layout (Ad Agency). Then scanned again with GTMetrix, and see how poorly the website is performing now.

C-score:

After this I turned on conservative caching, turned on GZIP, set SP Page Builder to Production mode, and on the Helix template I disabled Compile SCSS to CSS. After that it was even worse!

D score:

I always thought that the problem of slow websites was with my reseller hosting server, but it seems that Helix and SP Pagebuilder are not as lightweight as they are made out to be.

What is your statement?

Regards,
Remco

Hi there,

Thanks for contacting us. Sorry for the inconvenience. We recommend to check page speed of google. I have checked your site via Goole Page Speed.

I did check in Google PageSpeed Insights before, but since my post i have build my new layout from scratch yesterday.
So the layout bundle 'Ad Agency' is scoring poorly in PageSpeed Insights.

But you can close this thread. I see when i crerate my own 'theme' i am getting the results i want.
