After someone presented me GTMetrix, a performance evaluation web site, I immediately tested it against my Blog…
Result was not too bad, but could be greatly improved.
I read many pages on the web, about WordPress optimization. And I could not figure out which one to choose… so I tested several, and I’m proposing to share my results with you here….
For your information, according to GtMetrix, my initial and final performance values are:
| Before | After | Benefice | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page speed grade | 90% | 99% | +9% |
| YSlow grade | 83% | 93% | +10% |
| Page load time | 2.51s | 1.63s | -35% |
| Total page size | 357KB | 269KB | -25% |

It’s been a long time since first part of this project was published… Sorry for that, but end of year, here, in France, is usually very busy, both from a professional and a personal point of view: projects to complete before holidays, kids demonstrations in their various activities, end of school year meetings,…
Anyway !
Now that the hardware is installed (see previous article), it’s time to have a quick view to the analogic to numeric converter part of the project.
