Initial response time issues for the website

SOLVE

Hi,

 

We are trying to optimize our website after having it tested on the google page insights dev tools we have noticed that the server initial response time is taking too long.
The response time keeps on varying from 2.6 to 3.6s.

I also noticed this now that in the google analytics tool the treemaps keep rendering a blank screen, attaching screen for reference. Haven't faced this issue before.

 

Thanks,

Cleo Pereira

Basically, there's pretty much nothing you can do about this as the servers are Hubspot's and so improving performance sits with them. They already do things like server side caching and using a CDN.

 

As with all posts for people experiencing page speed issues with Hubspot, the recommendation is fairly generic:

  • Streamline your codebase, make your JS functions as efficient as possible
  • Reduce complex operations or bundle up your code to be only executed when needed
  • Defer your JS files whenever possible or move them to the footer
  • Optimise your images to reduce file size

Edit: Oh, it also helps if you don't use tools like Hubspot chat. I find that's quite slow and hits Google's page speed score pretty hard. Check out https://gtmetrix.com/ too, for a different perspective.
