I neither believe it nor disbelieve it. If you believe it that's fine with me. I merely choose to work on full seconds reduction, than tiny milliseconds. I could take at least 5 seconds off your full load time with only about 30 minutes work.

However when it does come to the complete page load, I rather rely on my own findings instead of a "reliable" web page testing service.

A "reliable" one that's not trying to sell you anything, and is designed, operated and maintained by Google's tech chief, Patrick Meenan. And is the only objective real-world real-browser real-connection optimization standard out there.

Seconds count, not milliseconds. Bang for the buck - your time is worth something.

Congrats though on getting v4 up to the new PHP standard, that's good work but it doesn't help page load time significantly. And certainly not drastically.
