HTTP header
(Important)
No X-Powered HTTP header is sent.
This page uses GZip for compressed data transmission.
Performance
(Somewhat important)
The page response time of 0.42 seconds is longer than the recommended limit of 0.4 seconds. A high response time unnecessarily slows down search engine crawling and results in bad user experience as well.
This page loads 11 JavaScript files. This may affect the load time negatively.
The file size of the HTML document is very large (632 kB).
This page only loads 2 CSS files. That's ok.
