Why is my content management system so slow?
- Dec 9, 2010
Why is my content management system so slow?
Content management systems like Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress and Magento allow designers to put together sites easily.
In doing this they usually have plugins that contain libraries of code.
They also have to make numerous calls to a database as page content is usually stored in a database.
Some of these pages "have enough code to land the Space Shuttle!"
Ok an exaggeration - so do I have anything better? - Yes
Compare the speed of these two sites to your site
www.futureshape.com.au
www.hearingaidprices.com.au
- and if there is a major difference it could be due to the following factors -:
- Each page only contains code it needs to run
- Not every page needs to connect to a database
- The code is optimised and validated and cut to a minimum
- Any connections to a database sit on the same server as the website
- It is hosted on an optimised dedicated server for my clients only
If these sites are up to ten times faster than your existing site and you are aware Google rewards sites that are reliable well coded and fast you may also notice these sites do very well in Google on the following terms -:
Hearing aid prices
Surfboard Fins
