Hi Martin,
We haven’t made any progress here yet. I have installed two test pages on my server, which are identical in content (incl. carousel). I don’t see any significant performance differences between 1.3.7 and 1.4RC2 when I pit the pages against each other.
It’s strange that a hint as “Serve images in next-gen formats” is displayed for identical images or “Serve static assets with an efficient cache policy”
Why are you not serving .webp images? You will reduce at least half an MB in page size by delivering those images in webp format.
Also the size of your hero header (video) is 1.6MB. Check if any scope to reduce it’s size there. Also cache the video file. It’s not being cached right now.
I will be using webp and caching elements @omega . the page is not done yet, and havent optimized yet… however the problem is still not present in 1.3.7 which haven’t got caching yet either… thats my concern
Old report was incorrect. Read (cancelled) in the request for video file. For some reason the video file was not being loaded properlly in the old report. Check screenshot.
