Search Results for 'pagespeed'

1) scroll back up several posts (in this thread) to see my list – you may want to read through this thread which has a ton of info on speeding up your site before posting at the end of it, where most things people need to get going are already explained in detail 🙂

2) setting your permalinks is a built in feature of WordPress .. basically just go back to your wp admin > settings > permalinks — and then press the “save” at bottom again; this will rewrite your redirects in your htaccess file for mod_rewrite in case they got munched by another plugin or update or whatever

you should fix everything else FIRST, then worry about the “render blocking” thing last. This is sometimes very hard to fix.

Fact is most sites need “some” elements to load first for page to render. You might visit the sticky forum thread on pagespeed to make sure you have expires heads, caching, fonts, external elements, all sorted first, as the render blocking only counts for a very few points — all the rest count for 20-25 points and easy to fix without using a cloud system.

Thanks Christopher,

what codes are you using for the compression in your .htaccess? And what tools are you using to resave the permalinks structure? Thank you!

Those are not codes I use, so can’t really help, sorry except the suggestion:

You should usually do a “resave” of your permalinks structure after every major WP update just out of paranoia, has been my experience. This redoes the rewrite of the WordPress specific code for your htaccess file specific to your site.

You might try my expires code found in this thread, instead. 🙂

Anyone else having trouble with the visual composer after the update to WP 3.9.1 with the above mentioned htaccess settings? It seems to be a problem in the compression code:

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} .*gzip.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.gz -f
RewriteRule (.*)\.html$ $1\.html.gz [L]
RewriteRule (.*)\.htm$ $1\.htm.gz [L]
RewriteRule (.*)\.js$ $1\.js.gz [L]
RewriteRule (.*)\.css$ $1\.css.gz [L]
AddEncoding x-gzip .gz

ExpiresActive On
Header set Cache-Control “public”
ExpiresDefault A1209600
ExpiresByType text/javascript A300
ExpiresByType text/css A300
ExpiresByType image/gif A300

After I remove these lines it works perfectly again. But also brings my pagespeed score from 96 to 34 :/:/:/ wtf:(

Anyone a tip? Thanks in advance!

Or, Amazon CloudFront.

To fully “optimize” the .css files, you would need to learn how to “minify” them to make them smaller, if Google is suggesting that.

One trick is to use GTMetrix to scan your site for speed rating, as they can then give you optimized versions of your CSS files (downside, you would need to do this for every time the theme is updated… but this is part of the ongoing admin process for speed).

See the tips and info for your page here:
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/telsetnews.com/Upm34LMy

If you want speed on mobile then you should used cloudFlare

My page speed result for telsetnews.com is Mobile/Cellular = 75 and Desktop = 90. Im quite happy with desktop result, but i want to speed up my mobile result. do you have any suggestion? Btw, Google recommend me to optimise several thing, such as :
http://telsetnews.com/…/subscriptions/subscriptions.css?ver=3.9
http://telsetnews.com/…modules/widgets/widgets.css?ver=20121003
http://telsetnews.com/…widgets/widget-grid-and-list.css?ver=3.9
http://telsetnews.com/…s/contact-form-7/includes/css/styles.css
http://telsetnews.com/…ootstrap/td-bootstrap-980-responsive.css
http://telsetnews.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/style.css

But i don’t know how. Anybody can help me. Or is there any option to speed up my mobile page speed.

Thanks

Well, with a dedicated server with 12 cores (XEON), and 32GB of ECC RAM, RE4 RAID 5, blah blah, we should be able to generate images locally using image tools already on board the system (e.g., ImageMagick, old GD Libs etc.).

For our purposes creating external accounts to handle image creation and placement across multiple news portals is needlessly complex for our needs if we can do it “on site.”

So right now we have a plugin which will create a local “thumbnail set” per theme and media sm/med/lg, and then set featured image from both locally hosted ftp images inserted via relative URL (not using media manager) and will post to media manager; will do the same with external images placed inline, but pulled from the main news hub (not locally hosted); and will also not interfere with locally created articles which have images uploaded via media manager and placed inline at top and flush right within body text.

Testing the next step, which is separate element/task which takes the featured image set either automatically or manually, and then creates the zoomed/cropped/enlarged versions and saves to media location so that theme can pull that size for the featured images on category pages and home page. This also uses the server side built-in image processing horsepower without any external I/O.

Once posted images are further optimized by mod_pagespeed and cached server side.

Stay tuned 🙂
I am testing this momentarily, in fact (Fri. May 2, 2014).
Expect either happy face or frowny face once I try this.

Also installing upgrades to our ecom system which is always a barrel of monkeys (for those of you old enough to remember that). 🙂

It’s in the main zip file with ALL the content for theme, which you download from themeforest, the same folder with psd files, documentation, etc. — note the folder “plugins”…

This is in the zip file you download, not on your web server. These should be in your project folder on your computer.

Newspaper-tf > plugins > td-speed-booster.zip

always good idea to “explore” the folders and files you download after purchase before upload to your own website.

Where do I finde this “tagDiv speed booster” plugin people are talking about everywhere?

I bought this theme few days ago and after removing a lot of the crap plugins i had before changing to this theme that already came with this theme my site is faster then ever before.

To make your site fast try to use less plugins and add your site to cloudflare where will boost your site grade also.

glad all my rantings have helped 🙂

All that should go *after* the normal #END WordPress elements …

example (from one of my sites; using custom permalinks – don’t copy the elements for #wordpress or the mod_pagespeed stuff !)

<IfModule pagespeed_module>
ModPagespeed on
ModPagespeedEnableFilters collapse_whitespace
ModPagespeedEnableFilters move_css_to_head
ModPagespeedEnableFilters combine_css
ModPagespeedEnableFilters remove_comments
ModPagespeedEnableFilters rewrite_images
ModPagespeedEnableFilters insert_dns_prefetch
</IfModule>

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

AddType text/javascript .js

# BEGIN Expire headers
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 5 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 2500000 seconds"

# END Cache-Control Headers

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header unset ETag
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
RedirectMatch 403 /xmlrpc.php
</IfModule>

ALSO: don’t include the last three lines if you are allowing trackback/pingbacks or using email to post via XMLRPC.

Don’t forget you need to have gzip/deflate running on your server also, which alone is good for 20 points!

And if you’re curious here’s my robots.txt file

Sorry for silly question but at the end = after # END WordPress or just before?

@Christopher Have I done this right? My performance grade is now only 78/100

This is my htaccess code below:

# BEGIN WordPress

AddType text/javascript .js

# BEGIN Expire headers
<IfModule mod_expires.c>

ExpiresDefault “access plus 5 seconds”
ExpiresByType image/x-icon “access plus 2500000 seconds”

</IfModule>

I try all yours advices and my page speed grade is 97/100. I’m happy with that thanks @Christopher for all your tips and tricks 😉

Cheers.

Also good idea if having any issues with widgets to simply go to each and press “save” again. I tend to do this out of paranoia with each new full dot WP update:

1) resave permalinks (habit as it resets/touches the htaccess file which as the rewrite rules)

2) disable and re-enable plugins one by one; check for any error message on re-enable.

3) run wp-optimize plugin which cleans house on orphan meta, etc.

4) do tools > save all site data (if not already done); good to do before AND after any update especially if “database has been updated” happens with the upgrade.

5) once a month I do full FTP download of site in case server catches fire and datacenter hit by lightning and backups melt.

6) Check site in IE11/Win7-64 and Chrome/Win7-64. (Generally if it works in Chrome on Windows then Chrome, Safari and Firefox on Mac will work – and who cares about anybody still running IE on Mac!)

7) If needed for anything like missing widgets, go to appearance and just hit “save” and it resets it. For missing ads, simply hit “save” in the theme panel for each ad spot.

8) Finally, out of general paranoia I also look at the source of a sample post, to make sure the meta tags are not messed up due to the occasional whack-a-doodle bug in Yoast, and because we’re running mod_pagespeed and like to check things are not being re-written in some bad way.

Veteran WP users have their own checklist, but this may be useful to the newbies. 🙂

hi,
we created wp-booster plugin to have a bigger google pagespeed result, what it duos, is moving the css and javascript files in the footer of the page.

the bad news about wp-booster plugin is that is known to make the theme not function properly, an issue we are still investigate. also is compatible with only a couple of plugins (wp supper cache, Seo by Yost, tagDiv social counter).

my advise is to disable all the plugins but WP Super Cache, tagDiv social counter, contact 7. it should work.

Thanks for you message.

If you’re not using an image optimizer for all the thumbs, like smushit or whatever; consider adding the “quality factor” setting to your functions.php (see my notes in the pagespeed sticky thread) – otherwise you’ll see the smaller sizes being crazy big like 60kb for featured category image, etc.

I’m using a host that has their own cache and CDN so I have no cache plugin installed and I’m getting 95/100 perf grade! Can’t complain. I’m sure there’s more I can do as the load time is around 3 seconds but for now I’m happy. I’d like to see this forum have a topic for members sites!

Just for reference, the code I posted in the PageSpeed sticky topic – which can be added to bottom of functions.php file. Your mileage may vary 🙂

function remove_cssjs_ver( $src ) {
    if( strpos( $src, '?ver=' ) )
        $src = remove_query_arg( 'ver', $src );
    return $src;
}
add_filter( 'style_loader_src', 'remove_cssjs_ver', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'script_loader_src', 'remove_cssjs_ver', 10, 2 );

HI, Marius
not huge issue as I can fix with CSS.
Just odd.

Note I’m not running any minify stuff, just tagDiv speed booster, along with mod_pagespeed to remove white spaces and remove comments – and cache small images. It’s not doing anything else.

I am using the social media icons top right, and NOT using the login function, which is different from your example, and have the responsive AdSense ads running.

I will upgrade to the latest WP this week and then revisit. 🙂

Usually I am *not* the person with the one in a million gremlin, but this one is mine.

Have a great day!

There is, but inconsistent results with some plugins.

If you still have a desktop score below 80, you should make sure you do everything ELSE first (see the PageSpeed sticky topic for my various suggestions for this effort).

I do them manually every other time and don’t fret about those. To gain one more point with everything ELSE done, it isn’t a huge deal.
