Search Results for 'cache'

I read this interesting topic and decided to do a check myself.

I use wp smushit, wp minify and total cache (page cache as per tagdiv’s instruction)

Google Pagespeed: 88/100 (desktop) and 73/100 (mobile)
GTMetrix: 93 Pagespeed, 76 Yslow.

Historically I always received a much lower grade with Yslow. Guess they don’t like my site 🙂

Now I will experiment with Christopher’s tip with the .htcaccess.

And one tip to others: don’t get obsessed with getting high grades… I’ve been there a couple of months ago… for 2 days I slept at 4 AM trying to figure it out :/ It became an obsession. Spend your time in the nice things of your website 🙂

ooooh, ahhhhh 🙂

I’m suffering trying to do as much on our high speed server with local caching, mod_pagespeed, common stuff cached to RAM and 1GIG dedicated switch to server in SoftLayer with 7 inbound pipes. Pain in butt. Getting there. 🙂

were using w3 cache / div tag speed boost and MaxCDN – 685ms load time is the result

fix image sizes etc with pixlr.com – save to 80% or lossless / lossy with kraken.io and stay away from facebook plugins that load faces.

Our next step https://www.cloudflare.com/railgun

and not to brag but 98/100 mobile and 98/100 desktop

Hi, @evdb
glad all the rambling helped 🙂

For those who are trying to work with the “step up” on speed from caching, such as using mod_pagespeed and then an optimized .htaccess code block, I found this article super helpful, and is somebody else who is a couple steps ahead of my efforts with the whole “make the server do the work, not a plugin” mentality.

I did incognito, clear browser, dns cache etc… Still got double logo. How come??

Caching: I use W3 Total Cache. I tried disabling Page Cache, Browser Cahe and Object Cache, but that gave no result. I disabled these all together, and separately.

My website is: http://www.katholiek.nl.

I use the full responsive (1170px) template. On the homepage I use a Single Image and then Block1 for all categories in default style. The sort order is ‘latest’.

This is the code:
[vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][vc_single_image image="7499" img_link_target="_self" img_size="full"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
[vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][td_block1 limit=”9″ header_color=”#00a287″ ajax_pagination=”load_more”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

For the homepage I used the standard template (which I like most and really want to use because of the right sidebar).

When I add a new blog post, it show on the desktop version, but not on the mobile one. What I do not understand is that When I first noticed this issue, I changed the standard template into homepage blank. Then did a refresh, and changed it back to standard template. Because the new blog post will show mobile. But doing that workaround everytime with a new post is not really doable.

With Mobile I meant ipad 1/Safari, ipad mini 2/Safari and iphone/safari. A friend of mine used Macbook Air on a very different IP and experienced the same problem and notified me in the first place.

Any solution is very welcome. Thank you very much.

Did your “adjustment and setting[s]” possibly offest the block1 homepage module?

If your CSS is in the child theme (as recommended when customizing themes) you could try deleting all new CSS, saving the file and refreshing (after cache deletion). If the issue is gone then you know it’s the CSS and you can revert all your CSS back and hunt out what’s causing the issue.

Also once you disable the cache on your website (if it is present), delete the browser cache or refresh the desktop page using CTRL+F5. Sometimes your browser may continue to load old caches, even if the server is no longer serving them.

The idea here being that the desktop may have an older cache, and the mobile devices may be loading the new cache with a new change that prevents the recent articles from loading.

Hey Christoper !

Thanx for your comment ! At least I feel less “crazy”, seeing things disappearing by themselves… 🙂 I had thought about an update, but I forgot to clear the cache…

Thank you !

Hey! Note the pesky issue with Chrome is that they will run an auto-update while you’re using the thing, and then the cache seems to go out of whack. I often launch Chrome now, and then if I go to a page and it is working weird, I go check in IE11, then go back to Chrome and it usually has updated itself. Clear history/cache (maybe something to do every Monday morning as a habit… I dunno). Has to do with handling the CSS and any local caching directives on the page. I was having this issue with our font awesome loading off CDN the other day… all the icons were missing, driving me nuts. 🙂

Holiday PageSpeed Fun Report Update!
Just as a pagespeed comment, I was testing mod_pagespeed, vs your tagdiv cache experimental, and W3 with page cache on, and found that mod_pagespeed on server with memcache, optcache and eaccelerator, seem to be about the same effect. What this means for most WordPress folks is quite simple: use a hosting provider that supports mod_pagespeed (e.g., GoDaddy now supports it with htaccess local config options — NOT an advert for them, just anecdotal) may be better option than messing around with all the various plugins that try to replicate that server-side functionality.

To Radu and all … who are wondering about the “render blocking blah blah” errors, this was one of the suggested solutions for WP (note the issue is common to ALL WP themes frankly due to the way the header works for most themes based on “traditional” HTML practice, 2 years ago nobody really cared about this issue!):

(QUOTED from WordPress.org discussion, “wpgeekster”)
The reason you are getting render blocking message from google is because your javascript is being called in the header. In your wp_register_script() function and in your wp_enqueue_script() function you must include true for the $in_footer argument. If you include the $in_footer argument, you must also include all the other arguments.
See:
http://wp.tutsplus.com/articles/how-to-include-javascript-and-css-in-your-wordpress-themes-and-plugins/
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register_script

(END QUOTE)

From same discussion:

(QUOTED from “manuelkuhs”)
Here’s what I figured out about how to eliminate all render-blocking JS & CSS:

Install W3 Total Cache

Go to Minify

Use the “help” wizard that you can see as a button near the top

Accept the suggestions without making changes. This will combine all your CSS files into 1, and all your JS files into 1, 2 or 3, depending where you load them (if you load all in the same area, e.g. in the <head>, you’ll only get 1 combined file).

Set all JS to “Non-blocking using Async”.

Now test your site. If everything works, the only blocking CSS/JS file left should be your combined CSS file, and nothing else.

Most likely some JS functions won’t work properly anymore. If this is the case, it gets a bit more complicated.

In this case, try the following:
Remove all the JS files in the Minify settings of W3

Open the source of your functioning page where no JS files are combined and manually add to W3 Minify ONLY the JS files found in the header (since these are the ones “above the fold”) and IN THE ORDER that they exist in your source file. Try this. If it works, try moving them all into the <body> or just before the </body> using the Minify JS settings.

In my case, I had a strange issue whereby combining jquery.js with the other JS files broke many js functions that depend on jquery even though they loaded after. To get around this I made jquery.js load on its own after <body>, and made all the others load combined just before </body>, with everything set to load using async.

Using this method, the only “above the fold” problem I have is the combined CSS sheet.

If your combined CSS is small, you can try inlining the entire thing.

If not, the only way around this that I currently know is to manually inline only the relevant parts of this combined CSS, and then to load the combined CSS in the footer using JS.

HI,
if you’re using a cache plugin with “page cache” on that should work.
Many hosting providers also run caching software of varying kinds, but not all websites may have that function depending on plan and how they setup VPS or containers for different customer classes. eacclerator, optcache, memcache, etc.

The .htaccess file goes in the root of your public document area (e.g., httpdocs/yoursitename/public – same place that wp-content lives), and is more easily seen with an FTP application that can show hidden files ( .htaccess is the file name – the dot makes it hidden ). Or, if you’re using something like YOAST SEO, there is an “edit files” option to make additions to the file (which is what I do). It is there, as WordPress writes it’s “rewrite” rules to that file. In your web hosting account there may be a “file manager” which would let you edit it, also.

Smush.it is the popular choice, however it only works on new files not existing ones. I think “regenerate thumbnails” may work when smushit is on, but check the help support on that for those plugins.

What amazes me are the problems you and I can’t do much about
a) issues with Google AdSense
b) issues with social media elements
c) issues with recaptcha (I just turned this off); powered by Google
d) issues with Disqus or any comment platform including the one from automatic

The most hilarious issue is that we installed Google’s “mod_pagespeed” system on our web server, and now it’s saying that there is a PageSpeed error since PageSpeed inserted three 1×1 pixel graphics and isn’t specifying their height and width.

Seriously?

So, basically from my experience wrangling this the past few months, if you want to know your real pagespeed run it with
1) ads off ! You will get pagespeed errors from Google ads.
2) social media off – you will get error from twitter
3) if you use Addthis, as we do – you need to hack the plugin to add the #async=1 option at end of javascript string.

It’s a process that will end up being frustrating at some point. No way around issues with Google’s own products generating errors. SO, they penalize page speed for using their services. Crazy.

Hello Christopher,

I read all forum messages already and still do have some problems:

1. WP Total Cache: the widget NEXT PREV AJAX ain’t working, so I installed WP Super Cache
2. Where can I put the .htaccess code into my WordPress? I can not find the .htaccess file.
3. Aks my provider for caching: whats the differences between WP Super Cache and asking them?
4. I use Bulk Smush.it to minimize the pictures size. Its ok?

First go to your feed in Internet Explorer which still lets you see your feed, and or in Chrome I think you can see the “code” … and make sure it’s being updated. Check if you have a caching plugin running which is caching the whole site and not just “page cache” … the RSS function is part of WP and not the theme, but if you can see the RSS in your web browser then it’s not a problem with your site. If the RSS is “old” and not updated with current story, be sure to check your cache. I had this issue when we set the caching too strong and cached the RSS feeds, which shouldn’t happen.

Hope that helped.

Hi, be sure to clear your cache as you may be seeing old styles. Also, you may need to reset a few things you set in the “master” theme if they didn’t carry over when switching to child theme.

Suggest:
1) put the default style.css back in the /Newwspaper-child/ folder
2) then revisit settings to check your settings you started with from parent theme are all still there … in theory, should look same as you has the prior day.
3) THEN modify the style.css in child them to “over ride” stuff from parent theme.

I went through this same (mis)adventure in one case.

Hope that helped.

Fun fact, one of my long time clients started using the Newspaper theme today on his news portal, which I thought was fun to see — had no idea until I went there to look at something and went, HEY! I know this theme 🙂
