After 3 days using Google App Engine to host my static files, I got amazing results in performance. My blog page loaded in only 6 seconds (homepage loading time). I tested it using Google Page Speed Tools. You can see the result of my website performance test using Google Page Speed Tools and YSlow! here.
Some say that performance is counted for SEO. And now I got more traffic to my site. But the sad thing is, yesterday I exceeded the free trial bandwidth limit for Google App Engine, ouch… So I got better performance, more visitors, and exceeded my limit. See the screenshot below:
So now I’m thinking about buying more outgoing bandwidth. To buy more bandwidth I have to check out using Google Checkout, and that’s the only payment option. I don’t have a Google Checkout account because I don’t have a credit card. And Google doesn’t accept PayPal… Sigh…
Now the only way is to get a credit card. And I did apply. So now all I have to do is wait for the credit card company to call me.
