How to Improve Your Website Pagespeed

There are several layers that influence performance, and the base layer depends upon the your web server / hosting arrangement. But other layers matter too.

  • Server hardware and software configurations.
  • Optimizations at the web server (Apache) level.
  • Optimize the database (MYSQL) level.
  • Optimize at the CMS (Drupal core and modules) level.
  • Leverage browser caching.
  • Proper aggregation and compression of scripts and files.
  • Caching layer technologies such as APC (Advanced PHP Caching) and Varnish.
  • Getting all of the above to work together.
