Page Optimization Overview & Recommendations

Page size can be reduced by 208.4 kB (10%)

Content Size

2.1 MB

After Optimization

1.9 MB

  • HTML
  • Images
  • JavaScript
  • CSS

In fact, the total size of Hg.com.au main page is 2.1 MB. This result falls beyond the top 1M of websites and identifies a large and not optimized web page that may take ages to load. 75% of websites need less resources to load and that’s why Accessify’s recommendations for optimization and resource minification can be helpful for this project. Images take 1.3 MB which makes up the majority of the site volume.

HTML Optimization

-86%

Potential reduce by 151.2 kB

  • Original 176.1 kB
  • After minification 164.9 kB
  • After compression 24.9 kB

HTML content can be minified and compressed by a website’s server. The most efficient way is to compress content using GZIP which reduces data amount travelling through the network between server and browser. HTML code on this page is well minified. It is highly recommended that content of this web page should be compressed using GZIP, as it can save up to 151.2 kB or 86% of the original size.

Image Optimization

-3%

Potential reduce by 36.5 kB

  • Original 1.3 MB
  • After minification 1.3 MB

Image size optimization can help to speed up a website loading time. The chart above shows the difference between the size before and after optimization. Hg images are well optimized though.

JavaScript Optimization

-4%

Potential reduce by 12.3 kB

  • Original 325.0 kB
  • After minification 324.8 kB
  • After compression 312.8 kB

It’s better to minify JavaScript in order to improve website performance. The diagram shows the current total size of all JavaScript files against the prospective JavaScript size after its minification and compression. This website has mostly compressed JavaScripts.

CSS Optimization

-3%

Potential reduce by 8.4 kB

  • Original 275.3 kB
  • After minification 274.9 kB
  • After compression 266.9 kB

CSS files minification is very important to reduce a web page rendering time. The faster CSS files can load, the earlier a page can be rendered. Hg.com.au has all CSS files already compressed.

Requests Breakdown

Number of requests can be reduced by 138 (93%)

Requests Now

148

After Optimization

10

  • AJAX
  • Images
  • JavaScript
  • CSS

The browser has sent 148 CSS, Javascripts, AJAX and image requests in order to completely render the main page of Hg. We recommend that multiple CSS and JavaScript files should be merged into one by each type, as it can help reduce assets requests from 93 to 1 for JavaScripts and from 33 to 1 for CSS and as a result speed up the page load time.
