Case Study: Vrtobilja.si
The loading speed of the web portal Vrtobilja.si improved by 86.07%.
The owners of the web portal Vrtobilja.si, Robi and Tjaša, were looking for a solution to make their site load faster for visitors. The problem was quite serious, as tests showed that the site was loading in almost 9 seconds, which is definitely too long. Such a prolonged total loading time has an extremely negative impact on the user experience, and many people leave the website before it even fully loads.
Robi and Tjaša decided to transfer their website to NEOSERV. Of course, we immediately got to work, and a more than noticeable improvement was visible immediately after the transfer. The Vrtobilja.si website loaded on our server in just over two seconds, and with basic speed optimization, which included only a few minor adjustments, we accelerated the site by 86.07% compared to the original state.

1. SPEED AT THE OLD PROVIDER
The loading speed of the Vrtobilja.si website at the old hosting provider was quite concerning. The portal took almost 9 seconds to load for visitors, which is extremely negative from the perspective of user experience quality. The results of numerous studies have clearly shown that visitors quickly leave slow-loading websites, and many leave the page before it even fully appears.
- Time of the first request: 435 ms
- Website loading time: 8.90 s
2. SPEED IMMEDIATELY AFTER TRANSFER
Since the Garden of Abundance web portal is visited by a large number of visitors every day, and the numbers are growing rapidly due to the increasing number of published tips, Robi and Tjaša decided to opt for TURBO hosting. If you are not familiar with the service; it is an extremely powerful web hosting with a huge amount of available server resources, intended for more demanding sites with a lot of traffic. The difference in website loading speed was visible immediately after the transfer, with the site loading for visitors in just over two seconds.
- Time of the first request: 21 ms
- Website loading time: 2.26 s
3. SPEED AFTER NEOSERV OPTIMIZATION
In addition to the powerful TURBO server, the inclusion of the PHP extension opcache, which was automatically activated when creating the hosting package, contributed to the faster operation of the web portal. In addition to a slight adjustment of the caching plugin (WP Super Cache), we reduced the loading time by an additional second with image compression, which now took up considerably less space. We used the lossless compression method, with which we achieved optimization without visible changes in the quality of the images. Compared to the original state, the Vrtobilja.si web portal now appears to visitors 86.07% faster.
- Time of the first request: 49 ms
- Website loading time: 1.24 ms
