Smart Optimizer (still needed?)

With version 2.2.2 do I still need to consider using smart optimizer? I see some users mentioned using it

in past versions but i'm unclear if its something worth trying to use now. anyone have any thoughts?

If you are especially concerned with the initial page load time of the first page visits to your site, then absolutely! If you are afraid that speed kills, then probably not. :)

Oh man, I can always count on Struck for a good laugh.



Yes, SO does still make a big difference and I'd highly recommend it.



Thanks,



Brandon

i installed so but still have a 2-3 second load time. can someone give me any additional pointers

to decreasing load time? http://173.199.158.107/.



I have installed SO, and have gzip enabled but load time is still 2-3 seconds sometimes longer. sometimes the first page loads 1 second then second and third page can take longer.



also i am using sqllite for cache.

$config['cache_backend'] = 'sqlite';

I guess you could ask Google if you could borrow their server? I don't really think 2-3 seconds load time is “bad”.
