makes sense. seemed to slow when i activated W3 cache thanks

will check server side gzip. also will try to use wp-optimize before moving forward

If you’re having trouble optimizing via plugin, I would likely contact your hosting provider and optimize your dbase from phpmyadmin or similar outside of wordpress (e.g., command line, or from server side).

But yes… on a 190MB dbase, WP-Optimize clears out on average about 27.5MB of crap, depending on when you do an optimization.

I think the pagespeed insights reference to browswer caching is having
1) expires headers from the server (or via htaccess on Apache, or config file on nginx), which specify a time to live, such as “cache fonts for one week, don’t reload them every time a page loads” … that is the purpose of “browser caching” — same with CSS, images like a logo, javascript, etc. — my settings are in the sticky for pagespeed.

2) remember to have gzip/deflate running on server side, you don’t need plugin for that as the server can compress everything on request

I’m not currently using W3 cache, and frankly I’d leave that off until you get everything else sorted as otherwise you end up caching incomplete pages from the other errors or overloads. Once EVERYTHING else is solid, THEN you would turn on the cache as the LAST thing in the chain.

Hope that helped a little (been there!). 🙂

ok its working now.
i removed all the plugins but the essentials and its working currently with blazing page speed. Now adding them one by one back to see what was conflicting… and i noticed once i added W3 cache that it actually slowed down. is that normal? to be fair as i added gzip plugin it even slowed down more. 🙁

would this be the time to optimize with WP-Optimize? it crashed our database last time and im really shy about using it now.

according to google pagespeed insights, its suggesting we Leverage browser caching
– but according to documentation on theme, u suggested only doing page cache. should i active the browser cache option in W3?

also
i noticed in documentation this statement:
make sure that you have APC installed or another ‘op cache’ for php. This will reduce your server response time.We have receive some reports that the accelerator has some problems in some specific configurations with our theme and Nginx.

does it mean we should not use Nginx?

– also, i meant that the SWIPE MENU ON MOBILES or the standard menu on responsive (mobile) is not working.
thanks

ok… i have removed the caching by wordfence and activated W3 Total Cache. but still there is a problem if the menu showing. please see http://www.naija.fm

really need the help please. we are losing tons of traffic due to users only limited to few pages.

im having the same proplem and W3 Total Cache isnt doing the job so we had to use wordfence which seems to really help with ddos attacks. we have been hit really hard lately. – http://www.naija.fm/
which has effected the page speed to the point of not being able to connect to database.
wordfence: http://www.wordfence.com/ also has its own cache system that seems to really help.

so is there a way to make to make the responsive menu work with this plugin http://www.wordfence.com/

My site is now performing really well, i removed w3 total cache and speed booster. Actually when i was using speed booster the color of my main menu links and icons would display in black and the white which i chose so couldn’t use it anyway! In chrome it worked fine.

hi,

can you past your configuration for w3? i installed td_sppedbost + w3total but google speed give me 54/100 for mobile and 83/100 for desktop.

all problems are css/js above the fold.

so.. i don’t know which is the best way to set w3 totale cache.

please esport your settings and give me the file.

i’m on dedicated server.

Hi,

I’ve tried almost everything but nothing seems to fix the issue.

I just tried deactivating all plugins, cleared all caches (local and server) and tested the site. The thumbnail images won’t show up in the categories page.

Now, there’s one more semi-pattern that we found.

The thumnail images show up on certain pages and don’t show up on certain others.

For instance:
The thumbnails don’t show up on:
http://www.igeeksblog.com/page/4/
http://www.igeeksblog.com/page/6/
http://www.igeeksblog.com/page/8/

But they do show up correctly on:
http://www.igeeksblog.com/page/1/
http://www.igeeksblog.com/page/3/
http://www.igeeksblog.com/page/5/

I thought it was a pattern (even: no thumbnai, odd: thumbnail) but suddenly, this: http://www.igeeksblog.com/page/16/ – thumbnail shows up on even numbered pages too. So it’s kind of semi-pattern there.

Any ideas?

Give it time like 24hrs ..also did you cache ur site after installing the plugin..

I finally got someone optimizing nginx settings for me.

However can anyone confirm @Stevens settings? My first try seems that it is not any better than using w3cache

Checking link http://staging.dailycat.de/hund-rettet-katzenbabys-670/ checked with http://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fstaging.dailycat.de%2Fhund-rettet-katzenbabys-670%2F&tab=mobile

Old server vhosting (w3cache no nginx) (http://www.dailycat.de)
GPagespee 54 / 66 GtMatrix 83 / 68

New Server (same config as old) GPageSpeed 55 / 68 GtMatrix 86 / 70
New Server (@Stevens Konfiguration) GPageSpeed 48 / 71 GtMatrix 83 / 66

Mobile is the most important metric for me, since 65% of the visitors are mobile visitors!

Conflict with QuickCache

@manual
best bet for my stuff, is go “backwards” from here as the stuff for htaccess file still good, for Apache/Linux. I’m only running nginx for some stuff on our server, we use Apache for compatibility with 20 years of content and some stuff not practical to reinvent at this time.

mod_pagespeed … I am running kind of a moderate number of things with defaults on server wide, then htaccess for local per site/folder controls/over-rides or “off.” With nginx I think you have to use a config file.

Anyway…. here’s my htaccess minus the 301 stuff:

<IfModule pagespeed_module>
ModPagespeed on
ModPagespeedEnableFilters collapse_whitespace
ModPagespeedEnableFilters move_css_to_head
ModPagespeedEnableFilters combine_css

ModPagespeedEnableFilters insert_dns_prefetch

We’re currently not running things off our Amazon CDN for the WP sites, in favor of using the horsepower of the dedicated server with high-speed switch, APC, mod_pagespeed, etc. Not finding it super beneficial to load those 1kb sprites off the CDN, frankly. (Brand new web server Dec. 2013). And for us tweaking is simpler when it’s all using one system, and letting mod_pagespeed fix some stuff.

I was manually minifying the style.css file and couple other things. Have not done that with latest version (just updated last weekend). Simple to do … some of my posts on here reference the websites like css minifier where you can copy/paste your code, make new file and over-write the theme css file to solve that issue (takes 5 minutes).

I had too many issues with the caching plugins so not using right now.

Take Google’s PageSpeed Insights with major grain of salt.

On one of my project sites (not running WP), we have the CSS loading from external file, minified, got pagespeed score of 87 and warning about only 47% of page loading above the fold (menu wasn’t showing up), and this could be seen missing from screen capture. So, we put all the code inline, speed went to 95 desktop, 85 mobile, but warning about above the fold now says only 1% was able to be loaded, but snapshot of screen shows everything above fold loaded properly.

Similarly on our WP install running Newspaper, here’s one of their wonderful “suggestions” ….

Reduce server response time
In our test, your server responded in 0.36 seconds. There are many factors that can slow down your server response time. Please read our recommendations to learn how you can monitor and measure where your server is spending the most time.

So, apparently 0.36 seconds is considered slow?

🙂

my result for test version:
– clean instalation wordpress and theme
– extra plugin: W3 Total Cache (I just clicked on: Enable page caching to decrease the response time of the site.)

That´s all and results 8.7.2014 – mobil 77/100, PC 90/100: http://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftestinfoglass.sazovsky.cz

Now, I have to find a bug on my site: http://www.infoglass.cz Where I have results mobil 40/100, PC 49/100

Hello, I have the same error.
I’ve tried with Safari, Chrome, IE, cleared the cache, de-activate all plugins. No change
I’m using WordPress 3.9.1 and Newspaper 3.8.4
My site is http://www.yogaretreatmag.com/

thanks

thanks a lot, yes, I try in every available browser already, and no luck, also cleaned cache…..no idea why this happens.

If you’re using Internet Explorer (e.g., IE11/Win7-64), you will get spinning squares of doom with some save actions. Some weirdo issue with java/ajax and IE. Try using Chrome, Safari, or Firefox (depending on platform).

With Firefox, I’ve also seen issues with oddball customizations that use Java/Ajax or something and conflict with the browser doing things on ALL web pages.

That may not apply to you, but it’s been my consistent issue with WP the past couple of years with a number of themes using Virtual Composer.

I’m sure you’ve already tried things like clearing cache, etc.

Thx lucian,

I added that in the custom css but even after clearing the cache it’s still in uppercase 🙁
