Query: How can I improve my speed for DotNetNuke with GoDaddy Shared Hosting?
Response:
I have been using DotNetNuke for website hosting since version 4, on both marktab.net and marktab.com. The relationship has been what I have often described as love and hate. Don’t get me wrong: I like the fact that the community edition I use (and which is available at the Microsoft open source website http://dotnetnuke.codeplex.com) is free. Aga, many hands have touched the product, and what we have today is — in my opinion — an eclectic collection of the best content management ideas from different minds and groups.
Sellel ametikohal, I will be outlining what I did to improve my website speed on marktab.net (running DotNetNuke 05.04.04) and marktab.com (running DotNetNuke 07.00.02). I believe these tips would also help DotNetNuke 6, even though I recommend new installations use DotNetNuke 7 or higher.
I have been using two tools to judge speed. The first one is called Pingdom Tools http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ which (currently) test speeds using one of their three source servers. This test shows how fast a site might load, but I have found the results to be variable (upon repeat tests in the same session with no changes) and I assume likely influenced by the server’s general load and current network traffic. The second, and what I consider better test, comes from Google’s PageSpeed tools https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/. Google is a major source of hits on my domains, and they have been supporting all web developers with a variety of tools to measure traffic. If you are running a website and are not using Google Webmaster tools, you should look at the benefits.
Google’s Page Speed scores websites between 0 ja 100, where higher numbers are better. Their analysis show what the issues are, but how to improve them depends on software used since the service will score any type of website, not just ones running DotNetNuke. Finding out what to do is a matter of trial and error. To achieve my own results I had to try a number of different things given the options available with DotNetNuke and GoDaddy shared hosting. This post describes a combination which took both marktab.net and marktab.com from scores in the mid 50′s to over 90.
