Hi there.
When I first installed this theme I had loading times of 3-4 seconds. Now it has become an absolute turtle. And I dont know why.
The site is http://www.ateisten.dk – can you guys please tell me why it’s so CRAZY slow all of the sudden?
I have many times been in contact with my provider and optimized a lot of different settings to make it faster. That has helped a bit, but now it has gone completely the other way, and I will lose readers if I can’t fix it.
I use WP super cache and most my settings seem optimized.
Please help!
Hey there,
Is it a large installation? If yes – I had the same problem. It seems that the theme support doesn’t really want to look into it because I tried connecting them with a person that fixed my queries and now my site works like a charm.
I recorded a video for that developer because he really helped me, check it here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqgcOlksZ0Q
The plugins can be found here https://www.superspeedyplugins.com/
I get speeds of 1.5 seconds without cache.
Petar, this is a paid plugin… I am honestly not interested in commercials for different plugins. I am sure everyone who sells stuff promises super speeds. But to me this just looks like annoying spam…
Hello,
You can use a plugin like Litespeed -> https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/wordpress/plugins/how-to-use-litespeed-cache/ or WP Rocket.
Also, you need to optimize your images using the plugin EWWW Image Optimizer and the OMGF plugin for the font.
Likewise, if the plugin provided by petar77 is paid, and the settings and optimizations made by that person were for an additional cost.
Thank you!
Are these plugins free? (To use?)
I pay and work on all the site stuff, but a lot of volunteers deliver articles, so I really want them or the readers to not feel that the page is slow.
Hi,
The LiteSpeed also has a free version that you can use.
Thank you!
Hello,
You need to use a better plugin because you don’t have the images optimized -> https://i.imgur.com/WXsLwGg.png and more, so please use the above suggestion to optimize them.
Thank you!
I do have both the recommended plugins active and running – EWWW Image Optimizer and the OMGF plugin
:/
Jobothan, I totally agree with you, I am sharing with you the only thing that helped me.
If you just want fast speeds by caching – FastCGI, Redis and if you can afford WP Rocket or a similar plugin. But this won’t solve the problem with the queries every first load will take 20 seconds.
Check my site – eurocom.bg and see how it loads (you can add a “?cache-buster=1” parameter to each of my URLs and you will see how fast it loads without cache.
