How to verify connection strings/ minimize outbound calls

    Hi,

    I’m having issues moving a WP site and I suspect I’m making unnecessary outbound connections causing excessive traffic. I’m troubleshooting using Page Speed and developer tools thru Google Chrome. I’m looking at how another WP site that loads quicker and it looks like this:

    Successful site:
    style.css
    /wordpress/wp-content/themes/camelion

    Site with issues:
    style.css
    https://www.mydomain.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/camelion

    My site loads like 42 objects for the main page and almost all of them look like the 2nd example. Do I have it set to go back out to the Internet for each of those requests? If so, where do I correct that?

    Thanks very much for the assisstance.

  • Not sure what your link is meant to lead to. But I looked at your site and it seems OK. Bear in mind that this is the way that HTTP works. At least on the first time the page loads, there is another connection made to retrieve every style sheet, every background image, every image, every external javascript file and so on. So 42 connections doesn’t seem out of the way.

    Cheers

    Thanks for the quick response. Also, sorry about the link. I didn’t realize it was going to make an actual link out of it when I posted. I was just using “mydomain” as an example.

    It just looks to me like each image, script, and theme file is going out to the Internet to be resolved by DNS rather than simply going to /wordpress/wp-content/themes/camelion. Our DNS is hosted with godaddy and our site is hosted at gearhost. Where can I change the connection strings for those objects?

    Yes. That’s right. This is pretty common for CMS sytems and code frameworks.

    If you think about it, WP only has one page – index.php. Everything else is included or required. So it’s hard to work out what a relative address should be relative to.

    Cheers
