This week I started a mini project to optimize a slow Drupal 8 website.

The issue, various parts of the website are taking 10, 20 and even 30 seconds to load. Wow, a long time.
My first round of updates to the Drupal configuration and code took off 15 - 20 seconds of page load time. Then after the second review of assets loading on the page, I was able to knock off about 3 MB of loaded resources. Now the page load must faster and is much lighter.
Here is a before and after comparison of page size, request sand load time:

Next steps, to go back through the requests that are sent, and then to review the hosting configuration.
