Tried Everything For Website optimization: Need expert guidance and opinion to reduce page load time

Hello people!

For the past 6 months, I have been working to develop a website for my company. It is a responsive site built on Wordpress with totally static content and contains around 120 pages. We have installed the theme bifrost. Website URL: https://labhgroup.com

Initially, the metrics were page size (20 MB), load time (18 sec) and requests (300+) We started optimizing the pages by following the tips provided by GTMetrix and other SEO blogs like Moz and Neil Patel.

Eventually, we brought down the metrics (Size: 3 MB, time: 12 s, requests: 120). Even with these optimizations, we still got a 0 score on Google page speed insights.

We compared the metrics of our competitors and discovered that even though they have higher page size and requests, their page load time was very low.

Please guide me; what should I do to bring down my page load time. My target is around 5 seconds. The main reason that I suspect for a 0 score on page speed insights is the high page load time.

I am completely clueless as we have tried everything and are reaching nowhere.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
