PageSpeed recommendations via Adsense

  • My page is scoring in the mid 50’s for speed. Through Adsense the pagespeed service is making the the following recommendations. I am a total beginner at this so if anyone has the time to help it would be much appreciated. My site is https://www.swingstation.com Please make it simple.

    Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content,
    Your page has 6 blocking script resources and 9 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.
    ? Remove render-blocking JavaScript:
    ? Use asynchronous versions
    ? Optimize CSS Delivery
    Leverage browser caching
    Setting an expiry date or a maximum age in the HTTP headers for static resources instructs the browser to load previously downloaded resources from local disk rather than over the network.
    ? Leverage browser caching

    Enable compression
    Compressing resources with gzip or deflate can reduce the number of bytes sent over the network.
    ? Enable compression

    Prioritize visible content
    Your page requires additional network round trips to render the above-the-fold content. For best performance, reduce the amount of HTML needed to render above-the-fold content.
    ? 28.5KiB of the response was required to render the above-the-fold content. Prioritize visible content that is needed for rendering above-the-fold.

    How you leverage browser caching will depend on your server… Nginx… Apache… Etc… You can try cache plugins but before you install read their support threads… If it all looks like gloom and doom it is because newbies are learning the hard way that caching is not the easiest task.

    In my time I have been lucky to salvage most of my data through battles with caching plugins, but I have wasted a hell of a lot of time in the battle. It is best to try doing all you can without plugins using server configurations or slight modifications to .htaccess when using Apache.

    A tip from an exnube… Use the following tutorial to get free hosting on Amazon Web Service and an Nginx front-end server set up… Soon the tutorial will have browser caching and gzip configurations added, but it is super easy to do later.

    I PROMISE… If you don’t know what you are doing, don’t play around clicking and saving your caching plugin. You will completely break your site and without a lot of mySQL and wp structure knowledge, you could easily lose everything.

    The tutorial for the NGINX server is here>>>
    Nginx setup on Amazon Web Service Optimized for WordPress using 1 year free Tier EC2 Micro Instance with 1 year free RDS database instance

    You will first want to read this tutorial that goes over setting up an apache2 server without nginx… It has the primary setup for your AWS account much more documented>>>Apache2 setup on Amazon Web Service Optimized for WordPress using 1 year free Tier EC2 Micro Instance with 1 year free RDS database instance

    Some will say it is too much for a newbie… In that case… So is caching…

    robbinit? As Andrew stated please do not solicit people to contact you in these forums.

    Hey everyone, I didn’t realize this was an open support community or I wouldn’t have answered his unmoderated solicitation for help. Sorry about that, I have now read the terms of service.

    @andrew Nevins: I most certainly did create my account to answer this request for help, but clearly I didn’t understand the spirit of the forum. Certainly you aren’t implying that I intentionally broke the forum rules.

    @jan I am sure you all get your share of frustrating junk on here, I have read the rules and am happy to contribute within the guidelines.
