[Resolved] not a support topic inasmuch a testimonial

[Drew]

I just wanted to post a before/after page load speedtest result for a site that went from using Genesis to Generate Press. The change produced a 30% improvement in page load speed!

On the left is the site running Genesis and autooptimize, middle is GeneratePress without autooptimize, far right column is GeneratePress with Autooptimize.

Yes, the actual page size in the before/after process for the older version is larger, but there are actually more than twice the number of images on the new version and I haven’t even run the new images through kraken yet. But once I do, I suspect the page load speed will drop another .1-.2 sec.

If anyone is interested in seeing the actual results at gtmetrix, knock yourself out: https://gtmetrix.com/compare/cD04Q4I4/suGqdCj6/XgLMQB6n

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

GP 2.0 will have even more improvements to performance 🙂

Can’t wait to see the beta.

[Tom]

I’ll be sure to update this topic when it’s ready 🙂

[Drew]

Many thanks.

I just released GP 2.0-alpha.1: https://generatepress.com/generatepress-2-0-alpha-beta/

If your site has a lot of traffic, I suggest creating a staging site to test it out before updating on the live site 🙂

[Drew]

Very cool, I’ll do exactly that.

[Tom]

Thanks!
