Thanks for your reply.

If I understand correctly, can it never go faster? Only slower? With Wi-Fi, the homepage loads in 6 seconds. 4G: the page loads in 4 seconds.

Loading a category page takes (4G) about 10 seconds. Do you have to compromise all images for example? Or are there other useful tricks?

Thanks!

don’t focus on “fully loaded”, but on “onloade (and “first paint”) instead.

for imaage-heavy pgges you might want to experiment with lazy-loading? ??

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

I turned on the function. The homepage loads very fast (1 second). A random category page loads in about 7-8 seconds (I think through the images).

I think the lazy loading option works a little bit :)!

Do you have any other tips? Would compressing the images contribute much to the speed? Or is that not the case? Or any tricks? ??

Attached the results!

Thanks

Looks like you’re optimizing the images already (with AO’s image optimization) so that’s good. Maybe enable the option to to WebP as well?

You can probably improve on “first paint” time(s) by doing “inline & defer CSS” (see info in the AO FAQ) and the critical CSS power-up.

Hi!

Thanks for your reply. Using ‘above the fold’ sometimes does not load the images properly.

Are there really visible results by using the CriticalCSS?

in that case the “above the fold” CSS isn’t OK, try tweaking it/ regenerating it elsewhere?

yes; the customers we implement this for have sites that have no render-blocking CSS any more, resulting in better “first paint” times (i.e. the site is visible faster)

Good morning,

My excuses for the late answer.

Does the Critical CSS optimize the speed of the website? I use strato as hosting (poor choice / shared server). The waiting time for the server is very high. Will this plugin help me to optimize the waiting time of the server?

Or is it advisable to use a good hosting company like Siteground.

based on a quick test on gtmetrix you have a approx. 330ms “time to first byte”, most of which is spent in the connection setup (dns + http + encryption negotiation), so that’s not bad really.

the critical CSS main goal is to stop the CSS from being render-blocking thus bringing down the “first paint” time, which currently is 0,8s.
