- Justin, from my Windows 10 (Lenovo X240) laptop running Firefox that I'm typing this comment from - a solid 6 seconds using the stopwatch app on my phone.
- And to backup those #'s I'm experiencing from desktop in Lincoln NE, I googled for "website speed test" and found that Pingdom provides a speed test. I ran a benchmark against the frontpage and Pingdom found that the front page of your site takes 6.61 seconds to load (see link below and scroll down ways).
- https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/dLxhZg/https://www.dragonflydigest.com/
- The site seems slightly faster than the old theme, but it might just be placebo effect.
- I'm not an expert in speeding up sites, but Pingdom shows that 19 requests are happening and 36.8% of the total content being loaded is JavaScript - which can slow down rendering (javascript parsing I've read is slow and can block loading). I wonder if that's the issue.
- Someone above mentioned Fastest Cache as a plugin, so I read a little bit about that plugin. Looks like it offers "combine JS" and "minify html" and "css".
- https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/
- Might be worth a try, especially if you enable some of the enhanced features like generating static html, minify html & css, combining js.
- The plugin also got a ton of really good reviews (virtually all 5 star reviews).
- Hope this info help from lonely 'ole Lincoln NE.
- Really love your site. Can't say thanks enough for you writing this every day. I visit daily :)
