The front page is over 2MB (huge!) and enabling compression will reduce that by more than 16%<br /><br />- set far future caching headers for static content. That will reduce the resource requests after the first page load<br /><br />These are basic methods (the bare minimum really) for improving the performance of utah.gov. I ran it through webpagetest.org - http://www.webpagetest.org/result/110601_D2_QY32/- which provides some additional suggestions.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04634285896989465389noreply@blogger.com
