Just installed Serendipity, a bit slow
Posted: Thu Aug 17, 2017 1:36 pm
Hi,
I have installed Serendipity, to evaluate it, using sqlite:
http://bkhome.org/serendipity/
Testing speed here:
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
Returns rather poor values, in particular, server response time of 1.2 seconds.
This is a new shared account, on a new host, omnis.com, and I have been testing other blogs and cms's. Mostly they have faster server response times, the poorest were about 0.5 seconds, best under 0.2.
Is it because I am using sqlite? I did the test with only the default plugins.
In admin panel, there is a checkbox to turn on a cache. Ticked that, refreshed the blog a few times, went to the google speed test, and got a worse result.
Any suggestions how I can speed up that server response time?
In case anyone is interested, the blog that I have used for years is a tiny perl script (just one file), derived from PPLOG. I still have it running, on my hostgator.com shared account:
http://barryk.org/news/
Google gives this 95/100, which is incredible.
It does have security issues, which forced me to disable comments (any Perl coders reading this?!), which is one reason I am looking to using a new blog script.
