<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Wow, that’s difficult to answer without knowing the website design and what they are complaining about. Does the site have a lot of dynamic content, PHP code, a CMS, a big database,
or maybe a big image on the homepage? Is their test server hosted or on the web designer’s LAN?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have seen customer sites with a rotating carousel of high res images on the homepage, and the limiting factor is Internet speed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Test server is on the internet using a Rackspace VPS. Ours is on a Virtbiz Aventurine Node Server. Decent spec.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Running the live site through
<a href="https://webpagetest.org">https://webpagetest.org</a> I get a very slow first byte speed (F). Everything else scores an A.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Their test site scores straight A’s with a very fast first byte.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We have 300mbps internet so that is not a limiting factor.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">You should also probably add hard drive speed to your list, as well as type (HDD vs SSD), if the site has large images.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The site is not that big and images etc. have all been optimised. It is just the initial load speed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
