I was getting a 72\/100 score from Google Page Speed, so I attempted to improve that a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I added caching to static resources via the web config, which raised my score by about 10:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<staticContent>\n <clientCache cacheControlMode=\"UseMaxAge\" cacheControlMaxAge=\"365.00:00:00\" \/>\n <remove fileExtension=\".mp4\" \/>\n <remove fileExtension=\".gif\" \/>\n <remove fileExtension=\".htm\" \/>\n <remove fileExtension=\".html\" \/>\n <remove fileExtension=\".jpeg\" \/>\n <remove fileExtension=\".jpg\" \/>\n <remove fileExtension=\".js\" \/>\n <remove fileExtension=\".png\" \/>\n <remove fileExtension=\".txt\" \/>\n <mimeMap fileExtension=\".mp4\" mimeType=\"video\/mp4\" \/>\n <mimeMap fileExtension=\".gif\" mimeType=\"image\/gif\" \/>\n <mimeMap fileExtension=\".htm\" mimeType=\"text\/html\" \/>\n <mimeMap fileExtension=\".html\" mimeType=\"text\/html\" \/>\n <mimeMap fileExtension=\".jpeg\" mimeType=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n <mimeMap fileExtension=\".jpg\" mimeType=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n <mimeMap fileExtension=\".js\" mimeType=\"application\/x-javascript\" \/>\n <mimeMap fileExtension=\".png\" mimeType=\"image\/png\" \/>\n <mimeMap fileExtension=\".txt\" mimeType=\"text\/plain\" \/>\n<\/staticContent><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nNew page score: 82\/100<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I then made sure that all of my custom javascript files went through the javascript handler in BlogEngine, which raised my score to by 3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text\/javascript\" \nsrc=\"\/js.axd?path=%2fmyuploads%2fbf_script.js&minify=\"><\/script><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nNew page score: 85\/100<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I then uninstalled the syntax highlighter extension from BE. This upped my page rank by another 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New page score: 88\/100<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s still some room for improvement, though… I want to get as close as possible to 100 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
