Hi Guys.
thought I'd just post this to help anyone setting up their own webserver and getting the best out of it. I have put a couple of links to help you identify issues with your websites.
https://gtmetrix.com/ is a great tool for identifying the actual loading speed of your website and informs you what needs to be done to get the best out of the web server.
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html identifies your websites https security and warns you of any out of date settings.
https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ can generate various formats of sitemaps. sitemap.xml.gz ror.xml sitemap.html sitemap.xml urllist.txt
All these above sites are free to use.
Please feel free to comment on add any additional links to other sites.

And I checked the easy optimisations such as caching and compression.
Apparently had been so occupied with creating things that I forgot. Those two really mean a big difference.
Normally those are always set properly for my sites, had totally forgotten.

Re: Website/Server checking tools
Too True Simon,
Although I do not run my own webserver, I do try to ensure my pages are validated and run as best they can.
I wish more website developers/owners did these checks. (I'm not perfect, but try)
I know you follow my site regularly, and that is what I do = ensure (to the best of my ability) that i do the checks.
Another to add to the list above is (bad Links). So many sites have old (un-resolving links).
I have just updated my Status Page and I'm happy with the results (attached), though that is from my location, be happy to see it from yours.

Also my Saratoga index page, attached. (again not perfect) but happy with it.
Kind Regards,
