This page is to document the time the site takes to load.

For reference, the following was run a few times on wiki:PuffinServer:
ab -v 4 -n 200 -c 10 -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" http://www.transitionnetwork.org/
And the results were compated and this is a typical one:

The slowness documented yesterday, LoadTimes#a2013-05-28 was due to redis being unavailable due to the password missing from the /data/conf/global.inc file, this was fixed on ticket:554#comment:5, following the fix the speed of the site is back to normal:

The varnish settings for the dev server and the live server are exactly the same. However the dev server is serving pages via varnish:
lynx -head -dump http://dev.transitionnetwork.org/ X-Varnish-Cache: HIT
And the live server is not:
lynx -head -dump http://www.transitionnetwork.org/ X-Drupal-Cache: HIT X-Varnish-Cache: MISS
Note the X-Varnish-Cache: HIT header from the dev server and the X-Drupal-Cache: HIT from the live server.

Summary for the live server:
- The front page, HTML only of the live site, not running varnish takes around 0.1 seconds to load
- The front page of the live site, plus css / js / images etc takes over 30 seconds via pingdom
Issues for the live server:
- ETags and one CSS expression
Summary for the dev server:
- Very fast on port 80 via Varnish, less than two seconds for the page and all objects
- Very slow for port 443, 7 seconds just for the HTML
Issues for the dev server:
- Speed up port 443 accesses!
- Etag and gzipping of js files
Detailed info follows:
Live Server
This is before Varnish has been deployed and also tests have only be done using http as https requests get a 302 redirect back to http.
apache bench
Requests were done from another machine in the same rack, 200 requests for the front page, 10 at a time, using http, this was done several times and the results below are for an average result, some were faster and some were slower, the first request took about 4 seconds and almost all the rest were less that 0.1 second:

YSlow
- The page has a total of 29 HTTP requests and a total weight of 421.8K bytes with empty cache
- This page has 3 external stylesheets. Try combining them into one.
- This page has 17 external background images. Try combining them with CSS sprites.
- There are a total of 1 CSS expression:
- http://www.transitionnetwork.org/sites/default/files/css/css_9bf5bdd80b33ef2e38c9b89845c474c9.css
- CSS expressions (supported in IE beginning with Version 5) are a powerful, and dangerous, way to dynamically set CSS properties. These expressions are evaluated frequently: when the page is rendered and resized, when the page is scrolled, and even when the user moves the mouse over the page. These frequent evaluations degrade the user experience.
- There are 27 components with misconfigured ETags (all css js and images)
pingdom
The test here will run for 30 secs max and it generally takes longer than that to load the front page, in part because (as far as I can see) pingdom loads all images referenced in the CSS even if the pages doesn't use them. Some stats:
- Total objects: 76 (677.5 KB)
- (X)HTML: 1 (32.8KB)
- CSS: 3 (92.7KB)
- Scripts: 1 (150.7KB)
- Images: 71 (401.2KB)
Dev Server

- This page has 3 external stylesheets. Try combining them into one.
