First Byte Time : 6.550s Need Help

Page Speed 1.12 Score: 91/100
First Byte time is 6.550s.
Can anybody help me to improve this?
I am using a Virtual Server with 1GB RAM and 2.66 GHz Processor.

Link to test?

How are the pages being generated, my first guess is you’ve got a database that needs optimising or more memory but plenty of other causes too but need more information

Hi thanks for reply…
On my home page There is only one simple query which is getting the cities from the database. No other database interaction is there.

If you want to see the details just test my site: its www.ticketsstation.com

Please let me know what i need to do…right now i am creating the sprite of images and also compressing the css files.

You’ve got a 14,000 line HTML document, which I suspect could be refactored to be much shorter and lose the all the inline styles, onmouseover, onclick handlers in the process.

How long does IIS take to generate this file?

Can you test from local to the server, if so add this Chrome plugin (Page load time - Chrome Web Store) and check how long the page takes to load locally.

I’d also be wary of use the .axd packaged resources, from previous experience they don’t fit well with good performance see .net and ISA Server - Reducing Bandwidth Consumption

Your waterfalls a very inconsistent so I wonder whether the server is over capacity - http://www.webpagetest.org/result/121211_JN_2ba15522a22cf06d526196b806284adb/

Hi Andy,
ACtually I have a Datalist on my page on which I am binding the cities so it made HTML lines to more than 14000 i can’t reduce that…the thing i can do is i will put the inline script code into an external JS file.

Another thing is in code page I found a code block which was taking 6 sec to execute so i worked on that and changed the code now the new code is taking 2 ms only…so it improves the loading time. Thanks for your suggestions.

And lastly you are telling about server response incosistancy…so please help me regarding this how to improve it. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Again.

I tested my site previously on pingdom it was taking 10-12 sec to load before and now after changing that code block now its 3 sec. :slight_smile:
