Search Results for 'optimize'

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

We try to keep all js coe in tagdiv_theme.js but in some situations the js must be included inside the php code to obtain the best functionality. We constantly work to improve and optimize the theme code and if we find better solution in the feature these will be applied.

Sorry for inconvenience.
Thanks for the message!

On my first screenshot also was the same fonts. Only wasnt showing all the url.
You must just look at to the bottom of screen shot.
Says you shoul doptimize following requests.

And if these are two different font used in the theme. and is there a way to make it together?

Regards

I am doing an audit on developper tools of chrome.

As a result i have these.

in the put css in the document head part i have these css files ;
1 – https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300italic,400italic,600italic,400,600,700&ver=6.6.3
2 – https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:500,400italic,700,500italic,400,300&ver=6.6.3
3 – https://www.estambul.net/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/css/styles.css?ver=6.6.3
4 – https://www.estambul.net/wp-content/plugins/font-awesome-4-menus/css/font-awesome.min.css?ver=6.6.3

I understand that last two comes from plugin.

Another thing i have

Optimize the order of styles and scripts (4)
The following external CSS files were included after an external JavaScript file in the document head. To ensure CSS files are downloaded in parallel, always include external CSS before external JavaScript.
js_composer.min.css
style.css
2 inline script blocks were found in the head between an external CSS file and another resource. To allow parallel downloading, move the inline script before the external CSS file, or after the next resource.

I hope it clears my question.

The CSS Minify may not be needed because these days, The CSS files are optimized and minified already.

I recommend and use Cloudflare, but not W3TC though, don’t use anything except WP Super Cache, you won’t like the results.

I have tried them all except WP-Rocket, I am yet to test that plugin.

Cheers

Silly question, but wouldn’t you have to do this copy/paste procedure every time Tagdiv releases a new version of the theme?

I’m currently relying on CloudFlare to minify the files in their cache since W3 Total Cache minification breaks the theme. I’m planning to experiment with Autoptimize to see if it’s any better.

Regardless; not all themes are the same. Some themes are just text, like the default ones with WP; some include complex page builders like Visual Composer. If your theme has 5 options it doesn’t need much horsepower, with 50 options it does.

Only you can optimize all the problems with your site from the GTmetrix and Pagespeed Insights reports. You’ll have same issue with any big complex theme like this.

But once you optimize your site, it works great.

20 sec page load is an issue with all the problems listed which impact how “fast page loads…”

If you’re loading large images vs compressed, if the page elements are not gzip/compressed for browser, it takes 3x as long to load.

You will have to follow the guidelines to optimize your site for ANY complex theme.

Note that only you can optimize your own site/server — no theme can optimize problems with your site setup such as caching, time to live, image compression, gzip/deflate, external tools like Jetpack that slow things down. You will have problems with all complex themes unless you learn to make the optimzations needed BY YOU to speed up your site/server/hosting account setup. This is true of *all* WordPress installs, regardless of theme.

(I don’t work here; just been using WordPress for over 11 years …)

You might try testing one of your posts with GTMetrix.com which shows the better examples of the things you need to fix with examples.

Again — site optimization is theme independent!

See the theme docs in the tutorial sections and best of forum for tips on how to speed up your site.

Also try testing a post with GTMetrix.com for specific examples of how to optimize/fix your setup for complex themes. Make sure you increased your default memory also.

Hi

The theme code was tested and optimized for best performance, we have a lot of clients and the theme works well on a large variety of hosts.
First please make sure that you use the recommended server configuration for Newspaper theme, you can check our documentation for more details: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
There are lots of factors that influence the site’s page-sped. I suggest you first try this without any other plugins active, leave just VC plugin active the check again. To improve the loading speed look the mysql query cache: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-cache.html we also use it on our demo.
Also you can use the speed booster to move the js and css at the bottom of the page, eliminate render-blocking, but not for all plugins. Check the System Status if the speed booster is active if you use other plugins than the tested ones. You can find some useful information regrading speed booster usage in this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/speed-booster-questions/
Also you can read this guide, it may help – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/

Hope this help.
Thanks!

See the theme docs under tutorials and best of forum for tips on how to optimize theme for your hosting setup.

Yes, well if you LOOK at the report
a) you need to optimize some of your images
b) you need to set expiration headers for some of the file types
c) you need to make sure gzip/deflate working for some file types

Did you clear cache from old site before switching to new theme?
Did you regenerate thumbs for new theme?
Did you reset anything loading from CDN?

Best to test with post page vs home page for speed testing.

You need to actually *do* all the fixes outlined on both GTMetrix and Google PageSpeed insights for the problems, like compression, expiration headers, etc.

See the theme docs under tutorials and best of forum for tips on how to properly optimize your site. Main thing to do first is check memory allocation, clear any old caching, check on TTL and server side gzip/deflate, etc.

Test your site with GTMetrix.com for specific help if you’re unsure how some optimizations work.

See the theme docs under tutorials and best of forum for how to optimize website.

Try the combination of “Gator Cache” and “Autoptimize”…my site is running like hell. 😉

You would have to delete manually, or download to PC and use some software or scriptlet to search/destroy. Or, remove all except logos, then regenerate all images on server once you reset your optimized thumbnail settings in the theme panel and WP media setting.

There is no appropriate “speed” — benchmark. As every web server varies as well as the level of optimization you do to it.. for instance are you optimizing your wp-config.php file ? TTL and additions to your .htaccess, mods to functions.php file to remove redundant code from headers, remove external loading elements, optimize font delivery from Google by taking the code and putting into your style.css file to only load fonts and not the CSS, etc.

Does your hosting account have a 10/100/1000 switch connected to net vs 10/100 ?

Are you running mod_pagespeed or http/2 ?

Each “post” can load at different speed based on content, server optimization, caching, etc.

Server response time is very important (ours is 0.33 seconds and Google complains about that!).

Some basic testing with *no caching* for reference (all include google fonts, and icons font, jquery from google, google fonts).

Some of our pages load in 2 seconds and not fully optimized, but 1.1MB in size, google fonts, non optimized disqus plugin, 3 ad units on page. http and mod_pagspeed basic setting.

Smaller page, 2.01 sec. (no disqus, 2 ad units, google fonts), 950kb.

Now, on a fully optimized page – no caching:
2.09 seconds (per Pingdom), with 100/100 “grade” 271kb, no ads, google fonts, https page!; mod_pagespeed, NO caching. So, 2.09 sec. on the single run (re-run might be quicker due to some server caching on back end), and yet gets 100/100 grade.

Google does like sites with sub 1 sec loading, but this requires massive amount of micro-optimizations and very effective caching, and generally no external content loading (e.g., native fonts, etc.).

Just some food for thought
… I’m actually working on optimizing our new CMS, and going through the same shenanigans to see “best we can do pre caching” — meaning 100/100 pingdom, 100/100 UX and 98/100 speed on Google Pagespeed insights (hard to get 100/100 consistently it seems … I tweak it, then they hit me with the 0.33 server response too slow!!!).

Always a fun time! 🙂

I know it is not optimized as it is in the sandbox area for staging in WP Engine ie it is not cached. I do not want to bring it live until I understand the theme more. What I am asking is “What is the approximate speed for the site when optimized?”
