Search Results for 'minify'

Okay! I went through the process and the conflict seems to be cause by the WP Super Minify. This is strange since I’ve had this plugin for quite some time and never had issues. Guess I’ll just leave it deactivated for now. 🙂

@Dhananjay
you can minify that js file using the Google recommended compression tool found in my long winded optimization thread in the docs > tutorials/DIY > best of forums.

I specifically have a post about both CSS minification and JS minification you can do manually that won’t break the site !

Many large complex themes have one large CSS file for better caching, while some others break it down into 4-6 other files. One large file is better.

You can minify the CSS file very easily.

You might also see my long tutorial on site optimizations, in the theme docs > tutorials/DIY > best of forums.

In there I have links to how you can minify the main CSS file, and even the main JS file if you want.

With proper gzip/deflate running on your site, it will also be served as a very tiny file as gzip removes all the spaces anyway. But minification can easily be done.

Many theme devs don’t “start out” with minified version to make it easier for developers to EDIT/MODIFY the code, and read the comments; then those folks minify on “deploy” for a live site.

So, this is not that weird. All of the top 10 themes on ThemeForest have large amount of CSS — where do you think all those layouts and theme styles, features, options, etc. come from ? It’s all CSS.

I have combined various things and also minified both CSS and JS, and you can see the tools I used to minify manually in my thread on theme optimization in tutorials > DIY > best of forums.

However, note that to “combine” certain things like lightbox, visual composer, etc., you would need to hack the plugin to NOT also enqueue the js and css calls, keep track of what you’re doing and basically “freeze” your setup for awhile for those tools.

You can also quash some things like the emoticons js and other things by disabling that via addition of code to functions.php. And of course, not using things like Jetpack, and turning *off* anything you are not using like slider plugins, etc., sure helps.

It was one of the cache settings that was giving troubles to the search icon (Minify feature).
I’ll try with the menu item, thanks!

Try uploading an image via the media manager and make sure the file is actually there ; if so, then it’s writable (or learn to use FTP and what CHMOD and file permissions on web server folders are). If it’s not, then theme cannot create pictures in the folder for the thumbnail sizes.

One also presumes you didn’t turn “off” all the image sizes for thumbs in the theme panel. 😉

Also make sure you’re not using any “auto minify” plugins as that can break stuff too.

Hi

I’ve checked your site and the problem seams to be related with the css code which apply only on home over the sub-menu item. Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches also disable any minify options for css/js if you’re using, clear all caches and test again.

Let me now how it goes.
Thanks!

Thank you Ing Geek, that totally makes sense. Analytic and Adsense seem to be very picky about js, no wonder, it’s how they control what they pay. I stopped using the speed options in cloudflare after a day or so of experimenting with them and afterwards, I only minify html in cache plugin. Those would brake up some functionality but I always assumed it was because I’m a lazy coder and my site is all patched up. I guess a simple static website with very good code can benefit from cloudflare features, specially rocket loader.

Today I’m seeing no mixed content so I guess you fixed it 🙂 visited several articles and no content blocked and padlock was always green, I saw no problems like yesterday.

Moving to https is usually a good thing. It can lower your traffic acquisition from search engines if not done carefully though. Since http and https use different server ports (most), both versions of a website, if they exist, are considered individual websites. Since the content is the same, search engines will label one as a duplicate. Search engines don’t like duplicate shit. When there’s http and https versions of the same site, webmasters should take measures to inform search engine which version to crawl and index and which to ignore (robots.txt, rel canonical, htaccess)

You only have https version so you don’t have to deal with that. What you might consider is the “juice”. Before you went https, did you had any particular page/article that ranked well in search engines? Or did any “respectable” website linked to yours? If yes, then you are losing that SEO juice because those rankings and those links point to something that doesn’t exist anymore. If no, which probably is the case because you’re online since only 10/2015, then don’t bother.

Cheers!

Yes I minify JS and CSS .. today i will try with a website with no cloudflare and i will see the results.
thanks so much 🙂 i will tell you the results tomorrow 🙂
Sorry for my horrible English.

If you are using Adsense NEVER minify any JS. If is possible css either. Only use HTML minification .
in cloudflare deactivate everything and set CDN only.

Another thing, use similar ads positions like before you switch to newspaper

And the last thing, every january are less advertisers

Hello

So in this case, do you recommend to me using cloudfare to minify instead the way you said before with GTmetrix? Does it have any risk to replace files which need to be solved?

I have a 95 % score in PageSpeed GTmetrix and 87 % YSlow, but when I check my website in google pagespeed insight, the score is lower, and I don´t know exactly if I should solve these issues.

Thanks

I’m using W3TC and Cloudflare with Flexible SSL enabled. I’ve disabled minification on Cloudflare and am using W3TC to reduce the number of requests. I do basic minification of CSS and html, but not JS since minifying JS breaks images on my front page. I also combine all CSS into a single file and JS into a single file to reduce the number of requests to my server, which also has the benefit of removing query strings so I can be sure all my CSS, JS, and HTML is being cached correctly by any caching proxies between me and my readers. Minifying html also improves pagespeed slightly since Cloudflare doesn’t cache or optimize HTML.

This also has the added benefit of not having to do a manual process every time I update my Newspaper theme.

Obviously, I’ve also disabled Cloudflare in the W3TC plugin so it doesn’t know I’m using Cloudflare. This means if I do feel the need to clear my Cloudflare cache for some reason, I have to do it manually from the Cloudflare website.

Hello Akpan

I would like to minify Javascript, CSS and HTML because my pagespeed score is not enough good. I would like to know if I I can use the same GTmetrix way to minify Javascript and HTML as well.

To do that, Do I must to replace the optimized file instead the former?

Thanks

Hi

1. Please provie your site url so I can inspect this closer. Meanwhile try to deactivate all plugins except visual composer, clear all caches and also make sure that you’re not using any tools which minify the js as this may create issues.
2. The theme does not have any options to embed a radio player and to achieve that most likely you will need a plugin. Unfortunately I can’t make any recommendation as we didn’t tested any plugin with a similar functionality and I can’t say how they will work with our theme. I found here some information which may help: http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/9-best-audio-player-plugins-for-wordpress/
3. I am not sure what you mean so please provide more details about this.

Thanks!
