Concern about page speed
Permalink
Hi, i'm having one upcoming projet and was thinking of using C5 for it.
In the past i have made only one little site with C5, but i have experience with other CMS, so it is not a problem.
The problem is that my previous site with C5 takes too much to load, and it is a very small site, one page scrolling site with a few images. I have read on the internet that C5 is not one of the fastest CMS, i can understand that it is slower on bigger sites, but my site is really small.
So if anyone will care to take a look, i will post a link to the website, also the website is hosted on Go Daddy, maybe that is the problem?
Anyway, here is the link:

2 minutes loading-it was a glitch 100%. I'm talking about 5-7 seconds loading, for this kind of website it should be instant opening.
Please, how would i know what this site doesn't need and what do you mean by it is loading a cache?
Thanks

Godaddy shared hosting is very slow with CMS/PHP type applications. I use their VPS and it is fine, but if you are on one of their shared plans there is not much you can do to speed things up.
I have found hostgator.com to be one of the best places to host for low cost and good performance.

I've done a few tests on webpagetest.org and it seems that the average load time is about 9 seconds. That is way tooo much.
But the thing that is bugging me the most is the time to first byte-3.5 seconds.
Why is my website waiting 3.5 seconds just to get started? Anyone had similar issues?
edit: I tested now and the time for first byte is a whopping 5.4sec!!!!

I just posted some ideas on another thread that may help you diagnose where the issue is:

Thanks, i will look into it.
Either the first one was a glitch, or there is a lot going on that such a simple site doesn't need and is loading a cache.
