Search Results for 'cloud'

Radu, what do you think of the 3 cloudflare options working with newspaper: http://screencast.com/t/mFYxmJxg31h

1) autominify (js, css, html) – some of these are done with the td booster plugin right? would it be ok to use these if I am not using the td booster plugin?
2) polish (on or off) says it improves image load time – will it interrupt or over optimize if you already have smushit?
3) Railgun (business plan offering for more, have you ever tried it? worth it as a compliment to the theme?)

Thanks!!

Average size for a complex theme is actually about 550KB these days as it combines multiple sizes, shapes, options, layouts, mobile/responsive, etc.

Visual composer is also a bit big.

However the actual footprint is much smaller for web browser via gzip and also with caching in the cloud (e.g., Chrome will cache your data if enough hits come from Chrome users, etc.).

You can also manually “minify” the main CSS file using the tips/tricks from my sticky post on site optimization.

But yes, it’s a bit big for all those features people have asked for (demanded?) — so, there is a lot going on, but it’s better than loading 10 diff. CSS files as it’s actually more efficient for one “packet” …

and some data is actually inlined automatically to help with pagespeed/rating.

There was a post exchange a while back for v4 where I’d asked about what we could “take out” if not using bbpress, woocommerce, multisite, or other things to “trim it” and that would be a good tutorial for Radu or somebody to tackle in a
“what can I take out of the main CSS file”
“what can I take out of the main includes-functions file”

as those are the two big payloads other than visual composer.

Thanks, Radu!

Your recommendation worked wonders! I tried W3tc, Wprocket to no avail. I dont understand why people on this forum complain so much about wpsupercache. My site was having 10s page load speed on pingdom and now it’s under 3s. The only thing I havent managed to setup properly was the cdn function. I am using cloudfront from amazon. Any suggestions?

Hi guys,

nice topic, I’ve been trying to learn more about it.

When you guys say “move to https” do you mean that your website will be exclusively https and http will no longer be available?

I did nothing like you and so I’m a bit apprehensive, although my point in having https was to “secure” just a small part of the site like wp-admin, logins and the store.

I did not change WP_HOME/SITEURL, just added define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true), so I guess wordpress is oblivious to connection. WP supercache creates static pages for https as well and performance seems unaffected. Site operates apparently well: I’m on http, click the login link and it goes https, I login and it throws me back to http afterwards. I browse the site, it stays http, and if I click in the edit my profile link for example, it switches me back to https, login session is always kept.

No mixed contents so far, padlock goes green. I plan to move my images to a subdomain and the SSL certificate only covers the domain. Tested a redirect from subdomain to domain folder and the padlock was green too. I also use cloudflare in strict mode: server <ssl> cloudflare <ssl> user

Ranking in google looked the same to me, it’s a fairly new site and it was growing slowly but steadily and still is. I ranked a few 1st places (regionally) in small subjects and even ranked a major one recently!

Again, as I know little about this and I’m probably doing big time shit, google tried to sort things out. It doesn’t rank both versions of the site, it chooses one. Everything’s http, except for the homepage and what google thinks its sensitive, like the wc cart page for example. Curiously, I have a page called “online reservations”, no online reservations are made whatsoever it’s just an article about it. Google ranks it https :). And google mix those because, regionally, my site gets that submenu under the search result and those sub-entries are either http or https accordingly to google’s criteria.

Cart page is fine and all that but I think I’d rather have the home page raking as http. Should I use a redirect or use webmastertools to exclude https version?

Any notes on this will be highly appreciated, it’s a topic I’m pretty noob at and we gotta learn everyday, thanks guys!

Cheers

Hi.

Here’s http://www.recordere.dk. We’re running a +200-300 concurrent users site on WP/Newsmag.

The setup is Nginx->PHP 5.6->Wordpress->Varnish->Cloudflare

We have setup a child-theme, and made our own comments.php to use the Disqus module without any integration with WordPress except the embedcode. Commentcount is customized by our self.

We have quad-core CPU / 8GB Ram but load is usually 0.5 in HTOP.

We used alot of energy making the site answer rapidly.

I also ran previous sites through MaxCDN and Cloudflare – both paid for about $29 per month – I use neither now no cache plugin even and have lost 1 second. For my audience this is fine. So it’s even paid for itself 10 times over.

I hate to say this as many disagree but GoDaddy Managed WordPress as a host has been awesome and also contributed to good speeds, cache at host and backups and staging sites. But will probably have to move to private soon if traffic keeps rising ?

Hi @hoarr

Try to increase the memory allocated to php in wp-config.php file, here it’s a guide regrading this
http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP If you still get this behavior also test this by disabling all plugins, also check in system status if the max_input_vars values, this should be over 2000: http://screencast.com/t/FDC4K3PJOCME

@ctrlinternet we didn’t tested the theme with any Cloud Flare plugin and I am not aware of its functionality, you may try an alternative to it.

Thanks!

I resolved the issue by deactiviating the ‘CloudFlare’ plugin… is there a way to keep the cloudfare plugin active? Before updating the theme the plugin wasn’t causing any conflicts…

Like the guy on Newspaper them who was “furious” over problem, and got all sorts of support, turned out it was issue with Cloudflare. Wow, huge time waster for TagDiv.

Okay no problem but I hope that wasn’t meant towards me because I did that in this forum and this is Newsmag not Newspaper. I was not that furious either.

I know that Tagdiv said they would continue to offer us support but I also did not know this forum was separate from Envato, since we really have to go to Envato to get to it or put it as a bookmark on browser or straight from themepanel.

There is this thing called purchase code too. Still is being tracked by Envato even if this forum is 3rd party. Not trying to be a d*ck. I am just not made out of money. I pay for one theme then all of a sudden Envato wants more. I should be upset.

One theme and that does not mean, well he did not pay enough, now lets ask for more. I understand authors paying for support but there is a difference from authors saying they are charging and then Envato saying they are making the authors charge. Authors saying is better than a marketplace doing it for them.

Does not bother me if Tagdiv actually says they would do it on this 3rd party forum because it is coming from them but Envato is making it look as they are trying to suck as much as possible and this sure sounds like vampires without the blood sucking.

Their taking the authors share. I am just informing about what Envato is doing so Tagdiv knows but since everyone here is acting like there is nothing to worry about. I will just forget this ever happened or even just not come in the forums at all.

I hardly ask serious stupid questions, like some I have read in here. So making me feel bad for something I hardly do, does not help anything either.

The main reason I come to these forums is to see if I can offer some help but that looks as I am more a problem than a help or I just stepped on your territory Chris.

If my opinions or willing to try to help in these forums are being a problem or I really stepped on you territory then say so. I will never come back here again and just let you guys do what you do without me and I will just update the theme when they are available. Sounds like that is what you want here.

Giving information about changes to Envato bothers people that they rather not hear it, then I can stop that too. Let you all find out yourselves then.

Um, no.
The forum is on the tagdiv web server — not Envato. Envato can’t “cut off your account” on this forum. Only cut off additional downloads from the ThemeForest repository.

I think this has become necessary for some theme developers who deal with 5 hours of tech support for folks who buy a $59 theme; then a year later want another 5 hours of support. Nobody can make a living that way. I’ve been one of many (sorry!), pushing this idea the past 3 years on ThemeForest so theme authors can make a living *and* continue to develop and support products for clients.

For example, client buys v2 of theme – works great, gets bunch of support for customizations, site is awesome. 2 years later new super version theme comes, out customer gets it free, and now wants ANOTHER bunch of support for customizations and “how do I get it to work with plugin XYZ” … that’s crazy for a company to offer for a $50-60 product.

Otherwise they would have to at some point charge for support tickets unrelated to an ‘actual” bug or theme issue. Like the guy on Newspaper them who was “furious” over problem, and got all sorts of support, turned out it was issue with Cloudflare. Wow, huge time waster for TagDiv.

So I would not panic if you’re an existing customer – sky not falling – get your site setup, and get on with your life and make great content. TagDiv has already said they will continue to support existing clients, as they have done the past couple of years — often going above and beyond for clients who REALLY need to learn to use WP before coming here at all.

Sorry – not trying to be a troll or war of words, or anything, these are just my thoughts and reflect no policy or anything from the company or anybody else — just an opinion.

We started to sell themes 6 years ago and stopped doing so due to this very issue … folks really want a theme developer to help them debug their server, their plugins, their photos, their life, their coffeecake, and that’s just not reasonable in any business case. Hopefully some middle ground will be found, and 6 months is plenty of time for a buyer to get support on setup, shoot down bugs, etc for the small amount being paid.

I think I am going to take off Cloudflare for my website since it still has not a massive amount of visitors still. So it won’t hurt it too much without Cloudflare. Just use the cache plugin until I start getting a lot more visitors and sluggish website then go back to Cloudflare or if I have good income then move to better CDN.

I apologize for sounding mean. I think I figured it out. It is something with Cloudflare and I have Rocket Loader disabled but Cloudflare has not fully started back up. So if it isn’t Rocket Loader then it is the minify settings. I will try that after if it doesn’t fix it, but so far when Cloudflare is not running it fixed it. So consider this solved and maybe it will help someone else that runs into this.

Well, low and behold, I tried a few things with a member on my site like. Disabling Lazy Loading and it did nothing and still did it. So I next tried enabling Lazy Load and deactivating WP Rocket and still did not fix it, but then I reactivated WP Rocket and paused Cloudflare and now it works without Cloudflare running.

So it is Cloudflare. I have to figure out why or what setting I need to disable on Cloudflare. I am going to try disabling Rocket Loader.
