WebPagetest Forums

I've optimized my images and upgraded my server.

Looking at my Waterfall, I have no idea what the site is doing for the first 8 seconds. Is this a theme problem? A problem with my WordPress install? No idea.

I appreciate any help you can give.

Alright, I've determined that if I fail to include the "www" or the "/" at the end, my page is 4 seconds slower.

Why does it add so much time for my redirect? Do I have something set up incorrectly?

Without redirect:

With redirect:

My guess is that you are letting wordpress do the redirect.

It should be done in your .htaccess file or in the virtual host area of the httpd.conf file.
