Pages loads in 1.5s which is not our guidance about webfundamentals HOT 9 CLOSED

@igrigorik - just as a heads up I will start looking in to this soon. We do pretty well on psi but there are a couple of obvious things we can improve. For example our build process balked for merging two of the three resources.

The page is served over https, which means it's served over SPDY: combining resources won't help, will probably hurt performance.

Overall, the pages are pretty light. The big gotcha are the redirects, which we should fix:

a) why do have the 301's at all? Seems completely unnecessary.
b) we should get our server response times down. Way down.

I'd focus on (a) and (b) before we do anything else.

Understood. I am kind of surprised that we have a redirect on that page at all.

Is this something we can fix, or do we need something from the serving infrastructure?

I need to investigate it more.

We should revisit after v2 launch.

Taking another pass at this.. It looks like the redirects are no longer a problem?

• How is the Google Font link being injected? Can't make sense of it.. but the download seems to be unnecessarily delayed.
• The two SVG files (two logos) are absolutely massive: 90KB combined, 500KB uncompressed. Can we fix this? Seems like overkill.

The fonts are injected via an import in CSS I believe... I will pull this out in to the template
