I have just set up my first site in MODX Revolution 2.3.1 www.bountifulbotanicals.com and it appears to be very very slow. The loading time is over 7s with the browser's cache cleared. I've used approx. 35 TV's, there are no snippets and the site only has one page.
Any suggestions how to bring the site's loading time down?
Fire up the chrome inspector & take a look at the network and timeline, your site is actually loading in under a second. It's that 10 megabytes of images that are taking all the time to load. I grabbed and optimized a couple of the thumbs & got them down to about a third of the size without any real effort. So do that for starters [if you are using phpthumbof look at the docs for compression options] see if you can enable server side compression for images. If all that fails you will have to find a solution to load the thumbs on demand [as someone scrolls to a section] using jquery. [sorry, I don't know of one offhand, but I'm sure someone will suggest one]
