I am making a series of changes to a page in order to decrease load time. Within the Wordpress system I fixed some thumbnail problems.
Before I fixed the problems the page size was 15mb with a load time of 1.82s.
After I fixed the problem the page size was 2.5mb with a load time of 1.85s.
I am using Pingdom.com for testing. Can anyone describe to me what I may be doing wrong?
<img> are async to my knowledge I am not sure they get tracked usually it's tracking the "DOMContentLoaded" event and this is done before all images have been delivered.

Why don't you just use the browser dev console to check the page load time? It will tell you everything you need to know without moving to an external tool. In chrome go to the
networktab.Not sure why it's not reduced but I suspect that the 1.82s load time for 15mb page size was incorrect. Also, if I'm wrong about my previous sentence, then the
0.03sdiscrepancy would most likely just be an acceptable delta. Doing a multitude of load times on different browsers on different networks would help you understand your page load.
