Do more mods slow web speed?

[DreadsUK]

Im wondering why my site is so slow. If you add loads of mods, will that slow the loading time down and is there a way to "tidy" them up to help it run faster?

It depends on a number of factors including queries and how those mods interact with your forum, what is your list of mods installed? If you list them we may offer suggestions .

Here's a test from right now.

There's no improvement because you haven't done any of the optimization work needed.

Click on the letter grades you see at the top right corner of the WebPageTest page and it explains the issues and how to fix them.

Your site isn't bad off at all, it's nothing terrible like alot I have seen.

Use that test to determine what your mods do to page load, by turning off the hooks in adminCP>Options>Plugin/Hook System then running a fresh test - force the vB default style while doing this test. This will give you a baseline.

It will show you the effect the modifications and the custom style have on pageload.

This isn't a guessing game, it is a scientific approach. It just takes some time and some desire to improve.

I have no idea what any of that means in all honesty. it just shows a list of 'failed' messages.

Ozzy did have a look with his optimisation things he's doing at the moment but tells me there is nothing else he can do

You can also turn on debugging and actually see how many database query there are fer certain pages, etc. This can give you an idea of what may be slowing your site down in terms of the database.
