Jacque,

That could be an issue with all the unnecessary php calls in your header template. This applies if you have a WordPress blog.

Nice tool. Mine only had issues with:

* Your blog seems slow. It took 2.33 seconds to generate the page.

Well people we are using WordPress, it’s only natural we are slow Some are quick-slow, some are slow-slow and some are dead-slow but we are all slow… I guess we trade in loading/rendering time for flexibility/elegance etc. We all know the deal… Nice tool by the way, really helpful!

Kristi,

I checked yours and saw the same thing. You may want to clean up your header template by removing unnecessary PHP calls. The blog title, RSS feed, etc can be static and improve page loads.

Nice tool. Mine only had issues with:

* Your blog seems slow. It took 2.33 seconds to generate the page.
* Your blog application doesn’t support gzip compression.
* Your blog supports client caching (304 response).

The first one is definitely a concern, but should I worry about the other two?

Hey Frank, cool resource. I ran my blog through it and here’s the results. Checked the feed and didn’t find a problem. What’s gzip compression?

The important stuff:

* Your web server is working fine.
* An unexpected error occurred trying to fetch your RSS Feed.
* Your blog is indexed by Google.
* Your blog seems slow. It took 1.12 seconds to generate the page.
* Your blog application doesn’t support gzip compression.
* Your blog supports client caching (304 response).
