Page load speed comparison, Cobalt - No Cobalt

do you have lot of fields?.

If you have a setup, to display an empty Joomla site and then display a page with cobalt, the cobalt page will always add something time to the Joomla page, since it runs under the Joomla setup.

Your page load time depends on a lot of different parameters like the technical specifications of your webserver, the physical location, the connectivity of your hoster, the installed software and its configuration, the installed template and usage of accelerator tools, your content, your own internet connectivity and even the technical specs of your PC among others.

**Every **component under Joomla will add a little time to the page creation.

As said before, there are many things to do to tune your setup.

A page display under 3 sec can be achieved. In my demo setup the list view display of 1 Cobalt section under a Rockettheme template with a TYPE of 8 fields (child, 2 x date, status, 2 x upload, digits and text) takes 0.664 sec.

and to display a single record including activated comments and nonumber tabber --> 0.472 sec.

No compression or Joomla caching activated as of the moment.

I would suggest to look into general Joomla/setup optimisation, Cobalt will benefit from this automatically.

Could you tell me more about your test environment. How may concurrent queries you have run?

But what I can tell you for sure that you will never go less that Joomla core page.

If you 2 test urls is live and both on the same server you can rub 'ab' command to bechmark

$> ab -n 100 -c 10 http://you.com/url

This will show you Apache benchmark results. More informative and correct.

thanks, will try that

Interesting site i love it keep posting more! kitchen renovation
