              Hi Laila,

              New relic is may be one of the most respected and definitely something you can trust for speed running it through synthetics I found this

              You need a better hosting platform or to add a lot of extras free this will allow you to install new relic at no cost server-side and show you that this is a problem you need to accelerate your server or change it out inexpensive high quality
              https://asmallorange.com/hosting/cloud/ digitalocean.com linode.com ,

              Here's one config
              http://www.riverlinux.com/magento/

              you will need a content delivery network I strongly recommend Peer1.com or rackspace.com

              CDN Fastly.com AWS cloud front are both inexpensive dynamic CDN’s

              Varnish + FPC + Redis running a Nginx server preferably. You can do this on rack space for little money and have a fantastic configuration.

              Freeways to increase your server speed Varnish when implemented correctly is amazing
              http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/high-performance-cache-with-varnish-support.html add to the backend

              Ways to increase your server speed but are not free
              extremely high rating might be best for the money. Allows you to use varnish along with Redis the best combination right now HHVM is not yet ready for this so until then those two are the best.

              Very high rating

              http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/warp-full-page-caching.html

              please implement these tools or talk to one of the hosting companies that specialize in magento

              please let me know if I can be of any more help and sign up for new relic it's free.

              Sincerely,

              Tom

                Hi Thomas,

                thanks for all that details but the tool you are using showing you incorrect details, if you look here http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.laila.uk.com/mhNKz4QT you will see the problems we have.

                Kind regards

                  Turn the images into sprites there is a lot more slowing your site down then DNS and it is part of it but most of it is hosting and I did combine your JS files for you your CSS files were already combined.

                  These are  some of the things slowing down your site and causing DNS  to have to go back and resolve every time. their at the bottom. You do not have enough requests to have such a slow site  let's definitely upgrade your DNS and better hosting it does not have to cost more

                  http://www.webpagetest.org/result/150413_MJ_3Y1/

                  here is the speed chart comparing the major DNS companies

                  http://www.solvedns.com/dns-comparison/

                  DynECT is my preferred. Dyn.com Keep in mind you can make a deal with NSone.net for everything you need for much less than you would imagine.  Speedyrails.com resells edgecast route DNS for the price of $40 you can have 25 million queries per month way more than you need.  The company that might fit perfectly is DNSmadeeasy.com they have incredible performance like the others with a base price of $29 a year so when you pay that no more payments for a year. This in addition offers you 10 million queries a month way more than you need.

                  cloudflare gives you free DNS that's very fast.

                  Look at the comparison of some of the other DNS companies and you will see that they add significant time onto your sites load time

                  http://www.solvedns.com/dns-comparison/draw.php?date=2015-03

                  http://www.webpagetest.org/result/150413_MJ_3Y1/1/performance_optimization/#first_byte_time

                  This is a very slow website because of the hosting platform it's on

                  Try top recommendation would be

                  https://www.firehost.com/  if cost is not issue FireHost

                  if it is an issue which is pretty normal.

                  Rackspace has created four tears of magento hosting from small to very large

                  http://www.rackspace.com/ecommerce-hosting/magento/

                  if you are not using a managed hosting platform ( I see who your hosting with it appears that you're not)

                  you can build your own droplet on digital ocean starting at a very low cost and very high performance

                  ttps://www.digitalocean.com/features/one-click-apps/magento/

                  other companies I would strongly recommend looking into.

                  http://www.peer1.com/hosting/magento-hosting

                  http://www.simplehelix.com/managed-hosting/magento-hosting/

                  http://www.zerolag.com/magento-hosting/

                  Common reference architectures for Magento

                  http://www.rackspace.com/ecommerce-hosting/magento/

                  • COST EFFECTIVE  rack space offers

                  • INTERMEDIATE  rack space offers

                  • ADVANCED   rack space offers

                  • PREMIER  rack space offers

                  full SSD VPS you can one click install magento and have a lot more speed than what you're hosting with now

                  these are the files that your site is creating using  a CDN like

                  Fastly.com

                  http://www.cachefly.com/

                  http://www.edgecast.com/

                  https://www.incapsula.com/ ( will make any server PCI compliant comes with a CDN free)

                  http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/files

                  if you use cloud flare pay for the Pro version

                  https://www.cloudflare.com/

                  CSS files: 1

                  Javascript files: 8

                  I hope this helps please let me know if you have any questions am sure I gave you a lot of information but there's a lot that's going on with your site. You could do a lot better by switching to a faster host and speedier DNS with a content delivery network.

                  Sincerely,

                      I responded to your other question the best way to implement these practices is to either show us your domain and what is being requested every time someone comes to your site or most sites do not have their .js & .css files combined

                      the easiest way to implement this right now is to take your files and put them into a tool like this to find out which files need to be combined

                      http://www.feedthebot.com/pagespeed/ or http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/requests/

                      once you have figured out the files that you want to combine for CSS you can use this tool

                      http://refresh-sf.com/

                      CSS only below

                      http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/css/

                      please send me your domain so I can do this for you if you like.

                      All the best,

                      Thomas

                        400-499 http status code

                        Hi there, I noticed in Bing Webmaster Tools that we get the following for the home page.These pages have 400-499 http status code. Ensuring http status 200 might help improve SERP performance and gain user traffic.I haven't seen this before, nothing comes up in Moz or Google Webmaster Tools about it.Is it worth spending time on resolving the issue, I don't see how it affects us as the page loads up perfectly but I don't understand the error.The error shows up for our home page, https : // wwww domainname comWhen checking here we get green ticks for everything sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html

                        My site auto redirects http to https. This is causing redirect chains. What can I do?

                        I noticed that Moz flags a lot of redirect chain issues on my site. I realized that this is mostly because the site automatically redirects http to https, and when I create a new URL (when a URL changes, for example) it is automatically flagged as a chain. Example: http://www.example-link Auto directs to: https://www.example-link Which is then redirected to: https://www.example-link-changed (when the address actually changes) I don't seem to have any control over changing where the initial http redirect goes. Any advice on fixing this problem?

                        Prices Showing for products in SERPs - organic CTR reducing

                        Hi, I've been looking at a clients site and Google is pulling the prices of the products (for some not all) and the pages that rank have started to have a lower organic CTR. Does anyone know how I can control what prices show in the SERPs? There is no Schema on the site to display this and the price is not in the meta title or description - it's just appearing on some pages - it's not uniform across the site? Any ideas? Cheers B

                        Reducing number of site pages?

                        Hi, I am looking through my site structure and I have a lot of pages left over from the days of article keywords.  Probably 7 or 8 years ago, someone sold my husband on article key word pages.  I have slowly gotten rid of a lot of them as they have fallen out out of the ranks.  I would like to get rid of the rest, probably 5 or 6 pages.  Will it hurt my rankings to delete pages and redirect them?  My customers really like the simplicity of our site and I want to keep it that way, plus clean up flags that Moz is telling me is a problem. I think its easier to keep less pages top notch than have to worry with a lot of them.  Especially since my customers aren't viewing them. Thanks in advance!

                        On site issues after Magento 2 launch

                        We did a new site launch on Feb 7th this year - www.vesternet.com It changed from Magento 1 to Magento 2.  We had some launch issues around SEO but now we've solved most every crawler issue in Moz reporting - according to Moz we're in better shape on-site than ever. But our organic search is just dropping daily - we expected a drop after launch then back to normal, but over 2 months on something just isn't right. A good example, on Google UK for keyword 'home automation' we've always been about position 10, but now we're out the top 50... Forget about off site for now - what's wrong with our site itself to have caused this? Can anyone help with insights please as this is killing our sales

                        Why are http and https pages showing different domain/page authorities?

                        My website www.aquatell.com was recently moved to the Shopify platform.  We chose to use the http domain, because we didn't want to change too much, too quickly by moving to https.  Only our shopping cart is using https protocol.  We noticed however, that https versions of our non-cart pages were being indexed, so we created canonical tags to point the https version of a page to the http version.  What's got me puzzled though, is when I use open site explorer to look at domain/page authority values, I get different scores for the http vs. https version.  And the https version is always better.  Example:  http://www.aquatell.com DA = 21 and https://www.aquatell.com DA = 27.  Can somebody please help me make sense of this?  Thanks,

                        Reducing number crawl-able links?

                        Hello, I just like to ask for best practice when it comes to reduce number of internal links on a site with a mega menu. Since the mega menu lists all categories and all their subcategories it creates a problem when all categories are linking to all categories directly.. Would the method below reduce the number of links and preventing the link juice flowing directly from category to category? [(link built with JavaScript and the html5 "data-" attribute) Thinking of using these links to categories in the menu not directly below the parent category.](#)

                        Website accessible on http and https. Is it bad?

                        We noticed that our website is accessible on: http://www.example.com and https://www.example.com Both the versions have page rank of 4. Though on https version we have added canonical tag indicating http:// version as preferred. Is this fine or we need to use 301 redirect and let the site be accessible only on http:// version??
