Is there anything else that i can do to bring up the score or is this approx average for most people running Mybb?

Hi,

PageSpeed 94% and YSlow 87% here ,(without CDN), and could achieve 98% and 9X% but I want to use a plugin that's resposible of the bad values.

Are you sure everything is OK and the only problem are scale images and redirects?

There are a lot of things that could make low values in GTmetrix. If you don't mind, send me a PM with the link if the result and maybe I could help you better.

@NoRules, Thank you for replying !!!

I am loving the Score you posted, so I'm now assuming after seeing your amazing results I can imagine now somehow I can achieve similar results at least an A would make me so much happier so sure let's try and figure out what needs to be done from here on.

Sure here is the url and i will be checking back to see if you have any suggestions after the test....

Hi again,

as I could see there are one big problem and little fixes you could make:

1] Big problem: ShareThis. Without it, values will rise up a lot. If you could use antoher type of Social Share plugin it'll be great.

2] Litlle fixes:
- All the images in your https://canadacommunity.org/images/ficons/ folder and https://canadacommunity.org/uploads/avatars/ folder optimize them here:

https://tinypng.com/

You could save the optimized image with the same name of the original (make a backup copy of the original file just to be safe). And if you could do it with all the images it'll be better.

- Do you need your forum to be browsed by Internet Explorer 7 or below (6,5...)? If not remove this from the global.css of your theme:

.ie6{position:absolute}
.ie6.top-right{
right:auto;
bottom:auto;
left:expression( ( 0 - jGrowl.offsetWidth + ( document.documentElement.clientWidth ? document.documentElement.clientWidth:document.body.clientWidth ) + ( ignoreMe2 = document.documentElement.scrollLeft ? document.documentElement.scrollLeft:document.body.scrollLeft ) ) + 'px' );
top:expression( ( 0 + ( ignoreMe = document.documentElement.scrollTop ? document.documentElement.scrollTop:document.body.scrollTop ) ) + 'px' );
}
.ie6.top-left{
left:expression( ( 0 + ( ignoreMe2 = document.documentElement.scrollLeft ? document.documentElement.scrollLeft:document.body.scrollLeft ) ) + 'px' );
top:expression( ( 0 + ( ignoreMe = document.documentElement.scrollTop ? document.documentElement.scrollTop:document.body.scrollTop ) ) + 'px' );
}
.ie6.bottom-right{
left:expression( ( 0 - jGrowl.offsetWidth + ( document.documentElement.clientWidth ? document.documentElement.clientWidth:document.body.clientWidth ) + ( ignoreMe2 = document.documentElement.scrollLeft ? document.documentElement.scrollLeft:document.body.scrollLeft ) ) + 'px' );
top:expression( ( 0 - jGrowl.offsetHeight + ( document.documentElement.clientHeight ? document.documentElement.clientHeight:document.body.clientHeight ) + ( ignoreMe = document.documentElement.scrollTop ? document.documentElement.scrollTop:document.body.scrollTop ) ) + 'px' );
}
.ie6.bottom-left{
left:expression( ( 0 + ( ignoreMe2 = document.documentElement.scrollLeft ? document.documentElement.scrollLeft:document.body.scrollLeft ) ) + 'px' );
top:expression( ( 0 - jGrowl.offsetHeight + ( document.documentElement.clientHeight ? document.documentElement.clientHeight:document.body.clientHeight ) + ( ignoreMe = document.documentElement.scrollTop ? document.documentElement.scrollTop:document.body.scrollTop ) ) + 'px' );
}
.ie6.center{
left:expression( ( 0 + ( ignoreMe2 = document.documentElement.scrollLeft ? document.documentElement.scrollLeft:document.body.scrollLeft ) ) + 'px' );
top:expression( ( 0 + ( ignoreMe = document.documentElement.scrollTop ? document.documentElement.scrollTop:document.body.scrollTop ) ) + 'px' );
width:100%;
