Search Results for 'cache'

Okay, I got it, but perhaps my previous comment was little confusing or my ability to comprehend your most recent answer is not good 🙂 So, let me try to make few of my queries simple.

1. I understood the use of caching but couldn’t understand the difference between server side caching and wordpress side caching.
2. Yes, currently I am not running any caching plugin just to check, test and increase the performance without the use of it but then is it possible to get 90+ Pagespeed score without WP Super cache and cloudflare etc ? ( Because I have seen that once I enable these two, my Pagespeed goes above 90 even now)
3. Based on my request ( because of not getting mobile theme run because of server side strong caching ) , my hosting provider has completely disabled all kind of server side caching for my site. Should I ask them to re-enable it?
4. I don’t know why my mobile theme was conflicting with server side caching. So, Is there any way in which I can be specific to instruct only following features under server caching so that I can be able to use mobile theme in future ( currently I disabled mobile theme and using default mobile responsive version of desktop theme?
5. Is it really necessary to use mobile theme because I can see that it kills various necessary features like smart lists on mobile theme ask users to reload page everytime they want to next list number which is very irritating on users poitn of view.

Please try to answer these questions after indulging few of cookies from this cute cookies jar 🙂

Thank you.

Thank you

( oh, and you do want caching/TTL running for your site, so that the directives to cache stuff work using the server’s opcache/memcache; but do all the optimizations without using any caching plugins, in order to see changes, make changes, etc. — what these do is tell the browser not to keep re-loading things like your logo every time the page loads, or the style sheet, etc., and if they come back tomorrow, page loads quicker as the ‘time to live’ is longer than 24 hours or whatever — this speeds up pages, separate from the gzip/deflate stuff … )

Put another way:
server caching helps the server serve up re-used files quickly without reloading the single files over and over and over.

Caching plugins create a “static” copy of your page for short period of time, so that the whole page can be downloaded as a much quicker element as there are not dbase queries waiting on php processes for 20 things on the page.

Not sure that helps, just anecdotal.

Hey Chris,
Thank you for taking time and making real effort to help me out. 🙂

There are so many layers to your answers and everytime I read it, I find something new to look for.

Here is something important, few days back, I had issues with TD Mobile plugin theme. It was showing mobile responsive version of desktop theme on mobile but not the mobile plugin version. In an answer to my related thread ( read here) , Andrei told me that it’s happening because of strong caching enabled on my hosting site.

And hence I asked my hosting provider to disable caching and they disable all types of caching for my domain. Though after that mobile plugin theme started working but after using it for a while , I felt that mobile theme needs many more featured now. So, I disabled it.

I doubt that these Gzip/deflat things must be part of those caching system and which is currently diabled .

What do you think? Should I ask them to re-enable it?

I will also send the GTMatrix parametre to my hosting prover .I will also ask to check following things:
The following publicly cacheable, compressible resources should have a "Vary: Accept-Encoding" header:
Right?

I will re-read your all your comments and then prepare a mail for my hosting service privder.

Let’s see how it goes. Thank you very much again.

Hey Chris,

Gracious !!!

Thank you for the detailed explanatory reply. As far this system status ( https://snag.gy/P2ApmR.jpg) to be believed , my host run on Apache server and hence the HTACCESS codes written by you under this thread should be valid.

As per recommendation, I started my HTACCESS file with :

<IfModule pagespeed_module>
ModPagespeed on
ModPagespeedEnableFilters collapse_whitespace
ModPagespeedEnableFilters remove_comments
ModPagespeedEnableFilters rewrite_images
ModPagespeedEnableFilters insert_dns_prefetch
</IfModule>

and then I added following code after default rewrite codes of WordPress:

AddType text/javascript .js
AddType application/vnd.ms-fontobject .eot
AddType application/x-font-ttf .ttf
AddType application/x-font-opentype .otf

The last code is to prevent hotlinking. Now as far I can read understand from your comment , the above written codes must have taken care of the required gzip/deflate settings through HTACCESS and should add up to 20 points to my score , but it didn’t happen 🙁

I still have these settings under htaccess and have also modified functions.php but the icrement in Pagespeed is only 2-4 points. On other side, I do feel my backend and homepage little faster while using after adding all these things. But there is no such impact on GTMAtrx score.

As you have mentioned :

Enable compression for the following resources to reduce their transfer size by 424.8KiB (79% reduction).

When I have already configured HTACCESS to compress it, why is it still showing there? AM I doing something wrong?

About Image optimisation thing, I use “Insanity plugin” to reduce file size while uploading the image and”optimus plugin” to compress it. the JPEG compression is set to 70 because I am worried to set it to 50 ( as recommended by you) because of the need of image quality. Since I am doing various changes, I will force regernerate and optimise images once I finalise all design aspect of my site.

Though I also tried checking GTMatrix points for my post page ( https://gtmetrix.com/reports/tomatoheart.com/vW3rCLXw ) , but it’s even worst than the homepage ( PAGESPEED SCORE: 53, YSLOW: 51)

about your second reply ( server side optimisation) , Being fron a non-programmer background, I will copy this comment and send it to my hosting provider to ask if they need to do anything.

Do you think there is something you can comment on my current situation.

Thank you.

Also, your host really should be serving up this one properly:

The following publicly cacheable, compressible resources should have a "Vary: Accept-Encoding" header:

I had to get this setup properly on our new server that went live Aug 5, also. SO, have your host fix that; and send them that section with the files — basically the css and js should be serving the “vary …” thing. And that is also part of the proper setup of the gzip/deflate.

I have caching enabled and am using the ajax view count but i have noticed the google web crawler bot has now started hitting the ajax view count, which would increase the number of views compared to those shown in google analytics now that it will count bot hits.
Also importantly, i don’t want the web crawler wasting time with these extra requests, i’m happy for it to used cached view count each hit.

default robots.txt for wordpress is this:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/

Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

Do you think changing robots.txt to the latter would work? There is a lot conjecture about order of precedence of rules?

User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/

Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
Disallow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?td_theme_name=Newspaper&v=7.3

Also if you aren’t already, consider not updating the count if its a bot hit.

EDit: actually google robots.txt tester says the latter should block it but the first version not. Are there any frontend resources or anything loaded via /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?td_theme_name=Newspaper&v=7.3 that i shoudl be aware of i may be affecting?

Hello @Bogdan-B unfortunately the problem persists in my blog, we followed each of the steps you gave us but we like; (

We have stopped the WP Super Cache to run the plugin for mobile again.

HI

By default the theme displays author name on module 8 which is used in block 9: http://screencast.com/t/AvhzGCicA Try to revert all changes made in theme’s core files, or upload a fresh copy of the theme in WordPress, clear all caches then test the site again.

Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!

Hi

Try to update the theme at V 3.1 which is available on themeforest and also update Visual Composer at V 4.12 which is included in theme’s path, clear all caches then test the site again.
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please provide your site url so we can have a closer look.
Thanks!

***URGENT**** URGENT **** URGENT

You can try couple of things
a) clear your cache on site if using plugin, or reset CDN if used
b) clear your web browser cache/history fully to reload new CSS used in WP
c) resave permalinks
d) clear transients with wp-optimize plugin
e) go to your menus settings and just resave them
f) disable conflicting plugins (use F12 in console view to see if ‘errors’)

Good luck! Your menus load just fine for me.

(( I don’t work here ))

If you’re using caching, then you need to clear cache in both site/plugin as applicable AND in your web browser. Chrome in particular holds onto CSS until you clear history or do force reload.

e.g.,

Chrome:

Quick hard refresh can be done by using the following short cut keys

Windows/Linux:

Hold down Ctrl and click the Reload button.
Or, Hold down Ctrl and press F5.
just open the Chrome Dev Tools by pressing F12. Once the chrome dev tools are open, just right click on the refresh button and a menu will drop down. This menu gives you the option of doing a hard refresh, or even clearing the cache and do a hard refresh automatically.

With any new major update to WordPress, you should have backup to roll back to, if needed; you also must clear your browser cache, and any/all caches used in wordpress, CDN, etc.

You can also
a) resave permalinks
b) optimize db to clear transients with wp-optimize
c) simply resave menus from menu panel if none of the above helps

Also good to turn off auto-updates for WP, so you can be prepared with backups prior to doing an update to new version of WP; then roll back if something breaks.

Theme is working for me, but you can try the cache clearning, resave permalinks, resave menu; this is all necessary with many things that changed in WP with new versions of 4.6x.

Hi

Please make sure that you’re using V 4.1 of Social Counter plugin, this version is included in theme’s path, also make sure that you’ve setup the plugin according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial/ clear all caches then test again!

Let us know it goes!
Thanks!
