It definitely does work; a large number of us use it 🙂
The most common reason I’ve heard for the result you’re describing is that you have minifying CSS and/or JS turned on in W3 Total Cache. Not all themes play well with minifying.
unfortunately if you are referring to the minify js settings from the W3 Total Cache plugin, this is still not working when I disable it. Any other thoughts?
Minifying is reducing file size by removing unnecessary data (e.g. line breaks). Caching / minifying / performance / speed plugins usually do it. The problem is that it can break up the flow of parsing the CSS file (if I understand it right).
Support has said in other threads that minifying CSS through plugins like W3 Total Cache won’t work (and I’ve seen it have the white screen effect). A CDN might also be minifying your CSS files, although I use Cloudflare and it seems fine.
Did you minify JS or CSS? If so, which files did you minify?
What is the minifying css means? And which plugin use that kind of minifying css?
Hi,
@joventu
As Shashank Shekhar wrote the reason for this is your minifyed js/css, disable this and let me know if this solves the problem.
Thanks
You’re minifying js. Turn them off!
Agreed, when I’ve seen a white screen and it’s not a php error, I’ve often found it’s aggressive CSS minifying. Both those plugins should work, but make sure you disable minifying CSS, and then clear the page cache before looking at your site.
I changed all of mine to Open Sans that way, last weekend.
Don’t forget to comment out the Google fonts in your functions.php file so you’re not still loading the PT Sans and such. And ideally put the Roboto css at bottom of your CSS file (but don’t minify that section) vs loading the css file from Google.
are you minifying the css?
Hello guys!
I have a problem with Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content in the mobile version, i read all the topic and try everything but i dont know why its not working,
In the Speed Booster Pack i have enabled Load CSS asynchronously, Minify all CSS styles, Load JS from Google Libraries and Defer parsing of javascript files
Im using TagDiv Speedbooster plugin to and w3 total cache… i dont know what else i can do 🙁
You’re welcome and Congrats, I’m happy you did it 🙂
I have a few questions again.
How did you removed render blocking css warning?
How did you optimize images?
And obviouly, how did you minify things?
I want to take from 97 to 98 or 99 😛
Some of the things I noticed on his site was not using the gravatar, which is a major slowdown, and also he’s limiting the number of thumbs on page, such as not having four big “related stories” images at bottom of post, and as I suggested he’s using only the share buttons vs the number shares buttons.
I just checked one of my pages, which does not have js/css minified, and has gravatar, and has an ajax slider top right AND four images for related posts. This page has a “90” on PageSpeed Insights with both AdSense, and Disqus running. And one of those things is loading Google Analytics even though I am not. I’m not using a caching plugin either. So, in my case I need to consider changing the related posts, figure out how to cache or save the author image locally vs from gravatar, and possibly remove the big image slider top right of each page … which would reduce payload of page by a lot. And I need to minify my main js and style.css files, and retest. I haven’t looked at this since before I got sick, and have been working on something else which pays the bills vs the fun stuff, but need to get back to that obviously 🙂 And even worse, I don’t think I’ve updated the theme to 4.x on the test page (still 3.9.2). Doh. I suppose I should catch up on following my own advice! My non WP site has 97/100 for desktop, and 93/100 mobile.
What blows my mind, as it were, is the 99/100 user experience rating for mobile that Shashank has. May I say “wow” 🙂
Hi guys,
I currently have 90 for my desktop site and 75 for mobile (http://bit.ly/1tKOeYu). I have minified all of the theme files and did everything to speed up the site. But, as I use AdSense and Google Analytic, the speed is a bit slow. For example, as you can see on the screenshot bellow, Google is asking me to Leverage Browser Caching for this URL: http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js and other URLs.
But as I don’t have access to the files, I can’t do anything to them. 🙁 So, how am I meant to modify them to make the site faster? The same thing is happening on the Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content section where Google asks me to Optimize CSS Delivery for one of their Google Fonts. And Minify JS for their Google AdSense script.
Please help.
Thanks!
@Shashank I deactivated Minify from the W3 Total Cache and installed https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-html-compression/ but it made it worst. Google now shows that I need to minify html…?
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=gdgtarena.com&tab=desktop
I think you’re not using total cache correctly.
I don’t minify anything with it. Turn minify off and use wp-html compression to minify html. It changes some url pattern and probable the warning with http://fonts.googleapis.com/…7CRoboto+Condensed%3A400%2C700&ver=3.9.2 will go.
After that just optimize the images, and done!
May i see your htaccess?
Screenshot? Here’s every thing!
and I use ithemes security to tweak some of wordpress.
1. use google for js, defer load js, async css and minify
2. The plugin is very big, I’ve configured every part of it with time. I need to know your settings to say what lacks in there. 🙂
3. Before you upload images to wordpress, open that image in photoshop. Press alt+F There is an option “save for web”. Adjust your settings there.
then in the speed booster pack plugin there in default wordpress image compression level, set it to a lower value like 60 and regenerate images.
4. I can see yout html is minified but there are no minified css and js. I minify these files myself and upload them back to server. I don’t use total cache for it.
Here are my answers:
1. I use the default newspaper speed booster + speed booster pack plugin.
2. same
3. I use photoshop to “save images for web” before uploading and then make wordpress default from 90 to 60
4. How do you minify, compress and combine html, css and js?
@Christopher please take a look at this:https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/theme-conflicting-with-plugin/
Right @Chris 😛
@shashank
when you have time, I do recommend going through all the documentation and tutorials, as they do provide a lot of “oh yeah” info, that I missed myself thinking I could figure it all out myself 🙂
Thanks mehedi, It was so silly 😛
Hi Lucian,
I did what you’ve asked me to do. But it didn’t fixed the issue. My settings for the plugin is currently this:
Is it something related to W3 Total Cache’s Minify settongs? If so, here is my minify settings:
and
Please helpp
@shashank Go to Theme Panel>Post Settings>Scroll all the way down and you’ll see a More Article Box settings. Configure it how you want and it should show up.
Also, do a search on the forum before asking simple questions. Cause this has question has been answered a lot of time.
Hope that helps 🙂
Mehendi what thing you’re on your site to show the Don’t Miss fylout? when the user scrools down the page?
