Vrtobilja.si

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.

Additional explanations regarding speed optimization

  • Which online tools did you use to review the speed performance of the web portal?

    To test the responsiveness of the Garden of Abundance web portal, we used the online tools:

    • Chrome DevTools – a tool that is part of the Google Chrome browser and is primarily intended for web developers.
    • PageSpeed Insights – Google's tool assesses the speed performance of a website with a score from 0 to 100 and provides advice on how to speed up the site.
  • How can I perform a website speed test by myself?

    If you want to test the speed of your own or another website, we recommend that you open the desired page in the Google Chrome browser and use the built-in Chrome DevTools. You can open the tool by pressing the F12 key, then select the "Network" tab and refresh the page with the F5 key. Various data will be displayed, including the total number of requests and the total page load time.

  • I also performed the speed test for the Vrt Obilja web portal myself, but I received different results. Why?

    If you have also performed the test yourself and the results differ only slightly from ours, this is completely normal. We advise you to perform the test several times and extract the average based on the results.

    Are the deviations of your results from ours significant? In this case, it is possible that:

    • new plugins have been installed on the web portal that additionally burden the site;
    • a caching plugin was disabled or its settings were changed;
    • a plugin for combining and minifying CSS and JS files was disabled;
    • new (unoptimized) images were added to the web portal, which require more time to load;
    • another change was made that affects the loading time of the web portal.
