Server Response Time

Robb_Barrett · ‎03-24-2016

I know that we can't enable caching, but what can be done to fist laggy server response times? I've been checking my pages on Google's PageSpeed Insights tool and last night I got an 86, this morning a 73 mostly due to laggy server response times. My most recent test is 1.6 seconds and Google is red flagging it.

I'm also getting flagged for our server not using gzip compression.

These factors, from what I've read, make The Algorithm not love my pages but they're not things I have any control over as they're server-side.

Thanks, Edward! Yes, you can get major improvements by loading Marketo LPs and assets though a CDN such as CloudFront or Fastly.

Not only that, but you usually get SSL onboarding for free, which is a major cost advantage. The overall cost for your domain might be < $20 per month, especially if you give everything a nice long expiry (for Marketo to offer this service to all customers for free would be a financial hit for them, but for an individual site it can be a near-negligible expense).
