I don't know. The landing page <http://www.portent.com/> is painfully slow for
me. The optimization listed are mostly frontend optimization. The first thing
I would do is to figure out the bottleneck.

    
    
        curl -w "\nTotal time: %{time_total}\nTime pretransfer: %{time_pretransfer}\nTime starttransfer:             %{time_starttransfer}\nSize download: %{size_download}\nSpeed download: % {speed_download}\n" http://www.portent.com/
    
        Total time: 2.629
        Time pretransfer: 0.375
        Time starttransfer: 1.400
        Size download: 32730
        Speed download: 12449.000
    
    

Ok. Not bad. Backend seems to be fine. But then I did the profiling in chrome.
Some cdn requests are well past 25 seconds in the timeline. For a user, the
site load takes more than 25 seconds. Your cdn is the bottleneck - you should
work on fixing the cdn first.

Curl is incredibly useful. However, I noticed that your line above was
truncated prematurely.

curl -w "\nTotal time: %{time_total}\nTime pretransfer:

I hate how overhyped this article is. It should be titled something like "five
basic tweaks to speed up your LAMP webpage". Instead, they're hyping it up as
if they'd written their own custom http daemon.
