Philadelphia Reflections: Website Test Results

The site www.webpagetest.org is an excellent facility for testing the performance of a web site. Philadelphia Reflections passes with flying colors:

A First Byte Time ... the PHP program is efficient
A Keep-alive Enabled ... the TCP connection is kept open throughout the entire process
A Compress Text ... the text is gzip compressed to reduce the amount of data sent
A Compress Images ... we reduce the size of our images and use JPEG compression
A Cache Static Content ... this can be seen in the Repeat View: none of the images are sent on subsequent page loads
X CDN Detected ... large commercial sites have copies scattered around the country and the world to balance the load and to reduce latency but it would not pay for a small site like this one to go to this effort and expense

Response time test with lots of images
