Flarum - WordPress Journey

[Sala]

@phenomlab yes it’s utterly laughable now, and one thing that had made me to join flarum was because of people like you. The community appeared to have experts you know by considering the age, but when you left, many questions started to come up, and when Billy site changed to something else, i knew for non expert like me, theres something wrong.

If again we join any forum, it’s better we raise awareness like the way you did for Gdpr, the way the only way our eyes were opened

[phenomlab]

@Sala Interesting. What happened to Billy? Doesn’t seem like he’s posted since early October - did he leave ?

[Sala]

@phenomlab you know he was skilled, had a couple of extensions, remember the rss story and bbcode extensions? But he just quit flarum. Almost every person that left flarum was my Friend. I will invite him here to sudonix

Im not using any CDN
Here is my results

Any suggestions in reducing TTFB in WordPress? To be similar like cache everything from cloudflare…

[phenomlab]

@Sala caching everything at Cloudflare will cause you serious issues - particularly anything session related such as logins, checkouts etc.

I note you are using wp-rocket - you should ensure that you are using the recommend Cloudflare settings for this plugin, and you should also bypass the cache in Cloudflare for anything relating to session information, for example, URLs matching /login, /register, /checkout etc.

Without these exceptions to caching, you’ll have issues with user sessions meaning unexpected and undesired behaviour.

The simple message here is that caching everything is more hassle and pain than it is worth.

@phenomlab thank you! no need to worry, because i dont use CDN.

How to reduce the 1.5 to at least 1.2 is killing me. Another way maybe i should wait a couple of days and test again

[phenomlab]

@Sala ok, but are you using Cloudflare ?

[Sala]

@phenomlab no, am not using any third party dns, and already it seem to be working even better.

[phenomlab]

@Sala ok, can you provide a waterfall from the site (you can get this from GTMetrix) that provides a detailed breakdown of your site? TTFB is typically affected by multiple factors, so it would be interesting to get an idea of what is causing this.

[Sala]

@phenomlab hi, because am on mobile phone here is my TTFB report, might expire ( https://gtmetrix.com/reports/sopriza.com/cGAYXjkZ/ )

[phenomlab]

@Sala Your ttfb actually isn’t that high at all - see below

Where are you testing from, and where is the server based? Both of these will have quite an impact on ttfb and overall performance.

For example, tested from London

[Sala]

@phenomlab Sir, now i am understanding that i need to stop worrying about it, its all good. It varies in different location.

Its my first time also to discover bytecheck , youre a good teacher, thanks!

[phenomlab]

@Sala seems Billy is still active

@phenomlab his just talking them for a ride, that what flarum does. No one actually says they moved. They can waste your if not too careful. Billy

[phenomlab]

@Sala Well, one thing is for certain. That website theme is plain awful

[Sala]

@phenomlab hahaha, that’s what billy likes? Haha artists have there own way

[phenomlab]

@Sala It’s horrible

[Sala]

@phenomlab what you expect the outcome if someone wasted all your years consumed all your tym , flarum!

[phenomlab]

@Sala Not sure you can blame someone else for an extremely poor choice of website colors. That can only be a personal choice, but won’t be appreciated by everyone who visits the site.

[Sala]

@phenomlab you don’t know yet. It needs a kickback spirit and courage to rethink of coming up with something better. A master in bbcode do you think is not able to color that? Hahaha , its purely signs of broken heart. Where do we know Kyle went? come to think
