@stevenjose I watched the video several days ago and I was immediately struck by something the lady said (I’m sorry, I can’t recall her name) - Our tester is better than other speed testers because we know our systems better than we do. i’m sorry, but thats a silly statement to make. A performance tester doesn’t have to know your systems - it has to test performance. The real performance issue with Wix sites has always been the way you handle Java Scripts. Each instance of a script on page (lets say an animation) generates a separate script, which makes the site very heavy. A script that does the same thing should be re-used! Another issue is a crazy number of HTTP requests that a site makes. for example, a demo site I was testing made 170 HTTP requests on the home page alone! Look, I’m not trolling or being negative. I think there is a real conversation to be had regarding performance of sites, especially considering how heavily Google weighs site loading time when its considering ranking.
