Welllll…..
here’s the thing …. if you don’t have robust hosting, I’d likely consider NOT using ANY theme running Visual Composer. All during 2014 with the Newspaper theme we’ve seen zero problems with CPU stuff, but during 2015 it seems they are using bleeding edge stuff to give power users all the stuff they have been demanding … unfortunately a lot of people want their site to do stuff that takes 500 processes and their hosting account can only do 150, and kaboom.

I’m still running the Nov. 2014 version of Newspaper for one of my blogs. Zero hassles. But I didn’t update every time a new version comes out since I didn’t need the extra 50 things added.

So, it’s kind of a tricky thing … I think VC needs to have a “developer mode” and a “deployment mode” where you have all the bells and whistles for design, then “export” your settings for a “lean” setup for actual deployment. But, it isn’t quite that clean yet.

TagDiv chose to use VC 2 years back as it was the coolest thing since sliced bread, and still is. There is another open source very very simple pagebuilder, and couple of page builders which cost $99/year (and stop working unless you keep paying!). So, for a complex layout builder like this… VC is really kind of the “standard” right this second.

Then again depends on well optimized server. I’m running multiple installs of Newsmag and Newspaper, and server not overloaded in the slightest.

@fdiengdoh
me too! hate it (admin bar)! I used to add that, now I just uncheck the box in my “user” setting. That code is great when you have lots of users to make sure it’s not there. 🙂

Been too busy to add update here on how to optimize the Google fonts stuff. Will get to that eventually.

Dear sir/Madam

I have installed the theme and made necessary changes.

Google page speed came up with the result like this

Remove render-blocking JavaScript:
http://www.estambul.net/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.11.1
http://www.estambul.net/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.2.1

Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:
wp-content/plugins/jetpack/css/jetpack.css?ver=3.4.1

for the last file there as id “jetpack_css-css”

so i have used $this->move_style_to_footer(‘jetpack_css-css’);

For the first two there wasnt any id so i didnt know how to do that.

How i can solve the problem.

Well, the database does not store the image, just the info about the image.

So, typically it’s not huge overhead to have three sizes of images vs one size of image — since there still needs to be a data record OF the actual image someplace (otherwise the media manager would not work).

Often good idea to take a look at your dbase in something like phpMyAdmin, and read up on some of the online guides on cleaning house on your dbase for this kind of operation.

WP-Optimize really helps. I use it every day :_)

Database grows when you add new content, add new images, etc. Obviously using things like the 7 day popular stuff adds extra fields, so that could be avoided.

You can try using wp-optimize plugin to keep it optimized, and also if you have old plugins no longer being used which have left old tables and elements in the dbase you can certainly clean house on that. Plenty of tutorials online for cleaning up WP dbase.

@truelifefitness
It’s the default Big Slider, just a little optimized to my needs using CSS and PHP. Glad you liked my site!

Hi,
again; do *NOT* post questions here — post a NEW support topic for help with site optimization. This thread is for ME to post updated help on how to do this stuff.

@elteliblejvi
you cannot optimize anything being loaded from other sites than your own.

Yup. You do need to optimize your site. Welcome to WordPress!

Did you do all the suggestions from my sticky post ?

Are you running the tag div speed booster?

Did you minimize use of un-needed external elements being loaded from other sites (e.g., gravatars?); minimize use of multiple networks for advertising?

SEE:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/

My version of Newsmag works just fine up to 1980px wide ….

http://massachusettsnewswire.com …

what browser / platform are you using ?

I tried both IE11/Win64 and Chrome. No problem.

Do you have the same issue in testing my BETA site revamp above?

I moved from Woo Canvas to Newsmag and still tweaking the above (not yet fully optimized for pagespeed for example or all block elements, or the footer, footer logo, etc.). I cannot replicate the issue you are referring to. (I am running monitor at 1920×1200 – with dual Apple 23-inch IPS Cinema Displays on my main workstation here …)

Hi
just remember if you have

20 images x 40kb = 800kb

optimized

20 images x 25kb = 500kb

thumbnails

20 x 20kb = 400kb

20 x 8kb = 160kb

1200kb vs 660kb

what do you think will load faster ?

I see this on car websites a lot … sitting there waiting for all the photos in the gallery to load. Annoying!!! 🙂

• This reply was modified 11 years by simchris.

Yes! The compression level setting (from my helpful optimization guide) only impacts thumbnails created by WordPress via server imagemagick/GD libs. — it does NOT change the images you upload —

so if you upload image at 40k full size
normal thumb at smaller size, might be 10-14k
set compression higher, thumb might be 7k

No real visible difference — a thumb is just supposed to be an image “hint” to the full page/photo — not presentational anyway.

Kind of like in Photoshop, the diff. between the “10” setting and “7” setting makes the photo half the size, with no real noticeable difference (except with images that have a lot of “red” — ). Jpeg is a “lossy” compression method no matter what (hence why DVDs with low bitrates look like crap also!).

Some people prefer a setting of “60” … but I’ve found “50” works fine unless it’s a portfolio site or something. OR, images with a LOT of “red” which is the bane of jpeg compression.

Try it… set compression to “50” (or “60”) — anything better than default of “90”! Then regenerate thumbnails.

For your full size images you need to start with better compression — or, use something like smush.it (if you can get that to work), or something like mod_pagespeed which will optimize then cache for you.

Anyway, that’s been my experience.

Glad to help 🙂

One solution is to use a “lazy load” function, however this runs risk of some items not loading at all, if browser memory/cache times out.

What really sped up our use of such was using mod_pagespeed … this optimizes images including conversion to webp for Chrome, etc., caches with opcache if setup properly, etc.

And of course make sure the thumbs are highly compressed (like using the “50” setting in your functions.php vs default 90, etc.).

Better optimized images to start with helps also;
this image is 41kb and could be nearly half that, especially since B/W/greyscale:
http://dev.promicabana.de/wp-content/uploads/Justin-Bieber-21-Geburtstag-6-559x420.jpg

I’m sure you know all that … just chiming in as I tend to do. 🙂

@gary73
couple of my projects:
http://ga-ga.com
http://floridanewswire.com

FLANW not fully completed, nor fully optimized (e.g., logos are from old theme, so not right size/shape). Need to sort out the feature image blocks on left side home page, as I was still playing with that.

I think ga-ga is running 1.3 and FLANW 1.4, and was waiting on NEW update – which pushed today (yay!).

Thanks Emil for the reply…

Could you please help me to solve this issue?? this is giving a really hard time….

I have two other issues that i would like to have your support.

1. Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
Your page has 2 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.
None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.
Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:
http://www.magscroll.com/…y-social-share-buttons.min.css?ver=2.0.3
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto%3A400%2C700&ver=4.1.1

I tired this guide i am not sure what to do? as i am not so good with technical knowledge

https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/

2. When I load the site it loads 3 – 4 times of different fonts before it actually loads the the font that i have selected for my website… i feel that it’s also taking time and making the site slower… is there any just to load one type of font which is selected from the backend?

Thanks!

Nothing to do with theme. The first byte time is managed by the server setup, connection speed, etc. How fast the server responds to a query and serves anything is entirely managed and optimized on the server side.

So, you need to consider whether you’re using Apache, Nginx, Windows, etc., and research the various ways to enhance/optimize those settings with your hosting provider or a tech consultant.

For example there are many php optimizers that can run, on server caching, faster gigabit connection to the port switch vs 100-base which is typical, etc.

Hello I need your help to optimize the speed of my site http://www.formen-magazine.com/ I try to follow the tutorials but as I do not speak English it is not easy

thank you

Hi.. No worries… i would rather keep the default wordpress comment system… But what I would like to do is to disable to section of website and email from the comment form! how can i do that?

Secondly how can I fix these things??

1. Your page has 2 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.

Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:
http://www.magscroll.com/…y-social-share-buttons.min.css?ver=2.0.3
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto%3A400%2C700&ver=4.1

2. Minify JavaScript

Minifying http://www.magscroll.com/…es/Newspaper/js/td_external.js?ver=4.6.1 could save 3.4KiB (10% reduction) after compression.
Minifying http://www.magscroll.com/…assets/js/js_composer_front.js?ver=4.3.5 could save 2.1KiB (36% reduction) after compression.

3. Leverage browser caching for the following cacheable resources:
http://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js (2 hours)

4. Minify HTML for the following resources to reduce their size by 1.3KiB (12% reduction).
Minifying http://www.magscroll.com/ could save 1.3KiB (12% reduction) after compression.

Currently I am not using any cache plugin because when i use WP Super Cache it makes my site slower than the normal speed.

Please advise me on that.

Thanks!
