One thing I really investigated yesterday was compressing images. Image
compression has gotten really good and I cannot believe how much the file
sizes reduced. I cut a page load size in half by compressing three images
on that page. Which in turn dropped the page load speed by one full second.
It's too bad files that are uploaded aren't automatically compressed. I
know there are online tools where you can upload an image and then download
the compressed version. I just don't know if there's anything that's open
source that could be built into MediaWiki's core, what take into account,
file type, etc. Or would it explode into a what file type is better. ;)

Heiya,
I must also note that the virtual host for the foreground wiki was badly
configured when it comes to page speed. After adding some fluff the rating
from Google went up from 60 to now 77. Basically I added configurations for
mode headers, expires and deflate which I did not have in there before.
Also I upgraded the Header Tabs extension to master which now uses the
ResourceLoader (not yet released). To cut it short: It is not just the skin
but also other factors which enormously impact page speed which are beyond
the things MediaWiki as such can do.
Tom's link already included the fluff I added.
Cheers Karsten

In actuality it's about 5% of the page load. Don't chase Google's page
speed insights, technically has nothing to do with page speed. Minifying
HTML is a joke, to what saving 10% of that actual load which is barely
nothing. MediaWiki minifies CSS output already.
Even Google is own site doesn't get a stellar mobile rating nor does
Facebook and some of the other big ones. I have sites that I actually get
flagged because Google analytics and their tag manager doesn't have a high
enough expiration passed in its header.
Quite frankly you do you want some CSS above the fold because you don't
want to have a flash of unstyled content,

org/wiki/Flash_of_unstyled_content.
If you need to improve speed, a lot of it's going to have to do with
your server hosting your site. Header expires, response, php caching, gzip
compression of output, etc...
Having said all the above, there is a mobile out module for
resourceloader. It might be worth a look at ways to reduce js because
that's the large target in loading a page.

Hi,
I am trying to make my site load faster on mobile and consulting
Google's PageSpeed tool for the same. I see that the styles loaded by
Foreground skin is pretty huge. Any idea how we can work to reduce this?
See:
