[consulting] Searching for company that specializes in speeding up websites

[FGM]

Just a user note: this site does /not/ feel slow, from here. Even searches 
come back with the full page of results in less than 2 seconds.

Hi Alex,



Based on the your requirement,



There are two possibilities for being site slow.



1)      Server is not configured properly

2)      Coding is not proper



Hence to get an exact idea what is the root cause of slow down we will need 
access to both client’s server and drupal installation.



It will take 12 hours to analyze what is causing this slow down. If it’s 
from custom coding then we can estimate based on the coding done.

But if its default drupal coding (no customization from developer) then the 
cause for slow down is from server side which we can improve upto 20-60%.

It will take around 24 hours.



So if no custom coding is involved then site performance can be improved up 
to 40% in 24 hours.



But if coding is causing this slow down then we need access to coding to 
estimate how much it will take to correct it. Without proper idea of coding 
we can’t estimate how much time it will take.



So over all job is 36 hours (assuming server is causing this slow down, 
hence no modification in code. Only configuration server is needed).

  Hello all,


  I am running a website and I am looking for a drupal company to help me 
speed it up.


    a.. Functional pages run very slow, such as:
      a.. running query searches on: 
http://www.edgestudio.com/talent-library
      b.. running query searches on: 
http://www.edgestudio.com/practice-scripts
      c.. and so on
  What is an estimate of the cost to speed up this site?


  Please give me an estimate of the cost as well as a means of evaluating 
your company.  I'd rather not share specific information about routers and 
internet configurations; other companies have been able to give me a 
straight up cost, and I would much prefer that.  Thanks so much!


  Alex
