Matejinkatarina.com

The opinions of many satisfied NEOSERV service subscribers also reached Matej and Katarina, who are photographers. It didn't take long for them to decide to transfer their website to us. They agreed to let us conduct a case study based on their website.

We first performed a speed test before the actual transfer of the website when it was hosted on the old provider's server. We repeated the test immediately after the migration to our server, and then again after basic speed optimization. Now the website operates 74.89% faster.

WEBSITE SPEED OPTIMIZATION PROCESS

ABOUT THE WEBSITE

Matejinkatarina.com is a website that was launched at the end of 2014.

Matej and Katarina are passionate photographers who want to capture the most beautiful and important moments of life through their lenses. They began working with fashion and portrait photography in 2008, and a few years ago, they ventured into wedding photography. With their unique style, they quickly realized that wedding photography is what makes them happy and what they want to excel in.

On their wedding photos, you can see a vintage and rustic touch, and their colors are soft, gentle, in pastel shades. Top-notch equipment, rich experience, and exceptional talent allow them to capture unforgettable moments and turn them into timeless memories.

We invite you to visit their website and view the beautiful wedding photographs. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, Matej and Katarina will surely respond to your inquiry with pleasure.

1. SPEED AT THE OLD PROVIDER

Before we started migrating the site to our server, we checked how fast the website was operating on the old provider's server. The test with Google Chrome DevTools showed that the website needed 439 milliseconds for the first request and 2.68 seconds for the full display of the homepage. The caching plugin was already installed at this stage, but we were convinced that we could still significantly improve the result.

  • Time of the first request: 439 ms
  • Website loading time: 2.68 s
2. SPEED IMMEDIATELY AFTER TRANSFER

In this step, we had not yet performed basic optimization of the website's speed performance. Nevertheless, there was an immediate improvement in speed after transferring the website from the old provider to the NEOSERV server. Loading the homepage of the website after migration took 1.53 seconds, which meant a 42.91% improvement. The time of the first request was also slightly lower than before the transfer.

  • Time of the first request: 386 ms
  • Website loading time: 1.53 s
3. SPEED AFTER NEOSERV OPTIMIZATION

We performed basic optimization of the website's speed. On the hosting package, we activated a newer PHP version and took care of caching at the PHP level (opcache). Instead of the W3 Total Cache plugin, we used WP Super Cache. We also compressed images in a way that does not affect the quality, as we understand that flawless images are crucial for wedding photography. With the speed optimization, we achieved a 74.89% improvement in website loading speed compared to the original state.

  • Time of the first request: 347 ms
  • Website loading time: 673 ms

Additional explanations on speed optimization

  • Could the results of speed optimization have been even better?

    Since only basic optimization of the website's speed performance was performed, we can state that the results could definitely have been even better. We see the possibility of improvements mainly in the adjustment of the WordPress theme, which would display images in appropriate dimensions, not in the original ones that take up a lot of space. Due to smaller image files, the website would be displayed even faster to the visitor.

  • Which tools did you use to check the website's speed performance?

    We conducted the case study, in which we checked the speed performance of the website Matejinkatarina.com, using the following tools:

    • Google Chrome DevTools: a tool primarily intended for web developers, is built into the Google Chrome browser.
    • Google PageSpeed Insights: a popular Google tool that, in addition to testing speed, also provides suggestions for improvements.
  • I performed a speed test on the site Matejinkatarina.com, but my results are different from yours. Why?

    If your results differ slightly from ours, that's completely normal. However, if the deviation is greater, there could be several reasons:

    • New, unoptimized images have been added to the website.
    • Other changes have been made to the website that affect the page loading speed.
    • Additional plugins have been installed and activated, causing the site to run slower.
    • The website owner has changed the caching plugin or disabled some of its functionalities.

    We recommend that you perform the speed test multiple times, as web tools usually show slightly worse results on the first test.
