Hello,
I paid a visit to the site.
Looks good. Images are loading awfully slow tough.
Isn't there any image caching? It seems that they aren't resized and the web browser loads the big pictures for each little picture (it does as a matter of fact).
loads�
which is quite big (1.7MB each, 3 of them on that page).
There is also a couple of js requests instead of one big load.
The whole loading on an empty cache is more than 10 seconds. Including Google Maps details, 16. Yikes, that's a hell of a slow beast.
I can't help but think about someone looking at this from a mobile device, even on 3G.
The whole network thing (looking at the Chrome Devtools Network tab) seems to avoid a couple of best practices:
like:
Some ImageMagick preprocessing would definitely help with the images.
I tell you that because we implemented such a kind of site in the past (not Pharo) and had to make it work fast (this was for expensive houses, visitors were kind of impatient).
Also, I just help businesses avoid this kind of slowdown as one of my business offerings, so I couldn't resist ;-)
Regards,
Phil
