Role of Cloud Server and PaaS on Page Speed Score

It is more important to pick a good cloud computing platform than spending few thousand dollars for optimization. Number of experts are limited. We usually provide tips and tricks which can lesser the budget or potentially save hard earned cash. There are various self proclaimed advisors are available who practically can push towards a wrong path for the hope or realization of a better Page Speed Score. Two standards are universally accepted – Google Page Speed Score and Webpagetest’s result.

Role of Cloud Server and PaaS on Page Speed Score : Changes in PageSpeed Module Giving Importance of consumption of bandwidth

As we have said many a times, configuring a Nginx Server itself can decrease the page loading time, if properly configured. We can further reduce the bandwidth used to display a site with the latest release of Google PageSpeed by 37%.

Google updated PageSpeed module a couple of weeks ago, the module allows to analyze and optimize the performance of a website. With the latest release, Google has decided to include interesting features that can reduce by bandwidth required to display a portal 37%.
The technology is based on what has already been experimented with Chrome browser – decreased bandwidth usage by up to 50% – considerably facilitating the work of admin: unlike strategies that are already known (e.g. compressing CSS and Java script) but require more time to be correctly set (and also bring unforeseen circumstances), after installing PageSpeed. Minute points can be corrected by PageSpeed Module.

Compared to the original counterpart, the module supports any browser support and SSL/TLS certificates. The optimization of the bandwidth is currently considered by marginal communities of programmers and it also important because for the increasing number of portable devices that access the Internet and the availability of higher bandwidth. World Wide Web Consortium is currently working on a new HTML element.

Basically there is absolutely no need to fight to maintain the Page Speed Rules implemented by Google in the age of Internet of Things with WordPress. We should consider the fact – we might need to deliver webpages in future via custom Port with TLS Certificate.

Horizontal scaling is quite important factor in First Byte Loading Time. We should remember that with full optimization, after flashing all types of Cache, the page speed score can go wrong, for example :

The score is currently 86 / 100 for mobile, 92 / 100 for desktop. If you test after a publication of a post, unfortunately, from a basic level – WordPress Cache Plugin, the whole cache will be purged and new cache will be build. We recommend to use a different server for wp-admin as written before. With SSL, it demands a reverse proxy in front instead of cloud load balancer with SSL/TLS certificate :

A+ with 100-95-90-90 score. There will be compromise like MS IE 6 + XP users will face warning, can view getting the webpage’s HTML loaded first (flash of unstyled content – FOUC). With Chromebook, Mac, any good GNU Linux, even latest patched Microsoft Windows as Operating Systems and Chrome as browser; practically the user will not understand ‘how fast’. ‘How Fast in Real’ has a metric – Speed Index.

On Webpagetest, we can view this value. Around 1000 makes the webpage loading looking like as if instant. Furthermore, there will be “caching” at DNS level and above – particularly if the website is HSTS Listed :

97/100 with A-A-A-A-F-No-Tick score. 3.909s is the first loading time. But how you’ll understand that a competitor or competitor’s paid person is falsifying his/her perception of page loading? This is where Speed Index is important. This is visual painting :

tools.pingdom.com usually shows too much false positive or false negative result. The usage of tools.pingdom.com is for other reasons :

Role of Cloud Server and PaaS on Page Speed Score : Managed Team Can Do Better

Rackspace Intense Managed, usually optimizes to the best possible backend. Need of fronted optimization is very few for WordPress due to advent of many Good WordPress Plugins. To emphasize the importance of DNS and Networking, the same webpage would load within 1.7 seconds if we correct few backend works including authoritative answer. As we pointed before in DNS Spoofing, if we run dig we will get the hints behind a very fast loading website :

Despite they are making the website almost CSS free, they fails to score higher even with non-HTTPS :

In our case, the dig will show up :

As SOA record is from trusted brand, from the root domain level, there will be acceleration followed by Akamai’s push. If you analyze Facebook, you’ll get very closer result. Obviously, with PaaS, your root domain must resolve to a good IaaS. You are saving cost in this case. If you still facing issues with page speed being a Rackspace Intense Managed client with WordPress, you can ask us for fully free help. There is no need to fight with any CSS preprocessors, with right scaling, you can serve pages really fast.

Role of Cloud Server and PaaS on Page Speed Score

Simple, if we use 5 128GB PVHVM Performance 2 servers from Rackspace Managed, The first byte loading time will get significantly lesser. After Rackspace cloud server, you have to use Bare Metal (costs lesser) (Rackspace onMetal) or directly expose a part of OpenStack Private Cloud. Dedicated is for different usage, like for Github. You must not install hundreds of git related softwares on the frontend server facing traffic. Network attack is rare on Rackspace, even simple hack; but if you keep the ways wide open to run simple SQL injection, none can help you other than spinning other server from image. Which will not solve the issue as your image has the same problem.
