My website livecounts.x10host.com has been blocked for more than a month for high resource usage. This led to broken links. Eventually, Google removed most links to my site from its search results. Even now, people still wonder why the site is broken. This is why I would like you to unblock my website.
I investigated the problem thoroughly and found multiple issues with my site as follows:
1) Too many requests
3) The site did not leverage browser caching
1) Only ~3 internal requests (html, css, js) per page load
2) NO PHP code (all JavaScript now)
3) All files are minified and compressed
4) The site now leverages browser caching
As a result, the total size of my page (on pageload, excluding external sources) is only 9.3KB with gzip compression (though it may increase as I add more features), and caching will bring that number down further. Therefore, resources will be saved. Please consider my appeal and unblock my website. I will monitor the CPU usage carefully and make further improvements if needed.
I investigated the problem thoroughly and found multiple issues with my site as follows:
1) Too many requests
Each time someone visited the site, it was hit by ~6 internal requests, and 2 PHP files (27KB total) were loaded. It could be hit at least a dozen times per second during peak times.
2) None of the files were minified or compressed
The total size of the 6 main files for the site was 60.1KB (fairly small). However, minification and gzip compression could still dramatically reduce the size and save bandwidth.
3) The site did not leverage browser caching
Because the site did not specify caching, it ws hit with unnecessary requests.
In light of these issues, I spent a lot of time reworking my site and made the following improvements:
1) Only ~3 internal requests (html, css, js) per page load
2) NO PHP code (all JavaScript now)
3) All files are minified and compressed
