My site is taking a long time to initially start rendering/loading.
Looking under the hood (as best I understand it) – td-composer seems to be trying to pull a pile of video information from Vimeo and Youtube.
I thought this might be for thumbnails – for video format posts – but I thought I had turned all that off. Is there a way to get the composer to just use the featured image instead of trying to query vimeo/youtube for information?

Hello,
Usually, this situation appears when you use a video background which causes the page to load slowly. For me, your page loads quite fast without slow loading problems. Please provide a video to see how it is loading for you.
Thank you!
Sorted. Partly.
The mega menu seemed to be trying to pull a pile of information from Vimeo and Youtube for thumbnails – failing, and slowing the page load down each time.
I turned off duration information and made sure no elements had the video pop up option enabled and that helped immensely.
The page still seems to be trying to talk to Vimeo/Youtube about some of the video articles that are shown on the page, which I would like to remove to further help things, but it has gotten it back to acceptable speeds.
I can’t see any other options in regards to that though.
Hi,
I don’t find Vimeo/youtube on your source page https://i.imgur.com/ur4qURM.png please tell me where you see them loading.
Thank you!
I have the same issue with our website and this theme. The initial load time of the theme is a couple of seconds and that creates a lag when you first hit the URL. The page loads slowly like it needs some time for the server to render it. Any tip or optimization to make it more responsive ? URL: https://www.anixneuseis.gr/
It takes 4-5 sec to start rendering.
Check here our response time, it’s almost 6 sec

“This custom tool performs an automatic test to find missing CSS rules applied by user interaction. Moreover, you can manually interact with a chosen section/component from the page while the tool records all the involved CSS.
