Hello Zeal Evince,

We have conducted a test of your website on GTMetrix and the result was a C with 65%. The URL of the report is provided below:

Based on the GTmetrix report, there are several issues that could be addressed to improve the speed of your website. Here are some suggestions:

1. Optimize images: Your report shows that there are several images on your website that are not optimized. Large image files can slow down your website’s load time, so it’s important to compress them. You can use an image optimization tool to compress your images without sacrificing quality.

2. Leverage browser caching: Your report suggests that your website could benefit from leveraging browser caching. This means that you can instruct the browser to store certain files on the user’s computer so that they don’t have to be downloaded every time someone visits your website. This can significantly speed up your website.

3. Minimize HTTP requests: Your report shows that your website is making too many HTTP requests. This means that the browser has to make multiple requests to the server to load all the necessary resources, which can slow down your website. To reduce the number of HTTP requests, you can combine multiple files into a single file or use a content delivery network (CDN) to serve static files.

4. Reduce server response time: Your report suggests that your website’s server response time could be improved. This means that the time it takes for the server to respond to a request from the browser is too long. To reduce server response time, you can optimize your server’s configuration or switch to a faster hosting provider.

5. Enable compression: Your report suggests that your website could benefit from enabling compression. Compression reduces the size of files before they are sent over the network, which can significantly reduce the amount of time it takes for your website to load. You can enable compression by using Gzip or another compression tool.

By addressing these issues, you can significantly improve the speed of your website and achieve a GTmetrix score of 90 or higher.

We wish you the best of luck.

Sincerely,
8Theme’s Team
