Search Results for 'website speed'

Best bet is to setup working project on a website, such as
yoursite.com/wordpress/

then when you go live, move to yoursite.com
(directions on the wordpress.org show how to do this)

This way you can see what actually works on a real web server vs localhost, where things do NOT always work as expected, particularly plugins and optimizations for speed (caching, expiration headers, image optimization, etc).

Best to setup your site without demo data, which is really only useful for showing to a client. Best to start with CLEAN site, and import a “style” then put in your own original content, since the demo content cannot actually be used for anything in the real world.

Hello ,

Finall i optimise my website http://www.movzio.com pagespeed score is 85 but can you please tell me this score is ok or not and gtmetric yslow grade is C and pagespeed score is A.. plesae help to improve this.

This is all a bit off topic to the thread for the person having an issue, but I used to write a monthly column for Digital Imaging magazine back in the day on web development, and my articles were also published by the Graphic Artists Guild in their newspaper; however all those articles are now terribly out of date since they pre-dated CSS3, responsive design, WordPress, Boostrap, mod_pagespeed, mod_spdy, etc.

I have in mind relaunching a site to post all my whacky fonts of wisdom or nonsense on the topic of webdev, but frankly I’m just too busy right now actually redoing my main business sites which pay the bills, then fooling around with some other things as kind of a hobby (e.g., ga-ga.com), etc.

Lots of great sites with tutorials and such. And for SEO, Google has their own free document download which tells you what you should have for your website. PageSpeed is important, original content most important, https will be important in coming years but not critical just yet; luckily with WordPress there are dozens of good sites out there with basic tutorials on the “simple stuff” and also the official WP docs are good to read, and it seems many folks buying themes on ThemeForest don’t bother to do that (“how do I set permalinks…” ?) …

Anyway……. I ended up in TagDiv land a year ago as we were building our own WP theme again, and I just decided I didn’t want to deal with that. Trouble was finding folks who even knew what PageSpeed was (!), so Radu and Co. caught my eye, and I like their philosophy of what they’re doing, so we decided to try their themes. So far so good.

But I need to get back to work! 🙂

Lucian,

Ironically enough, I found that because I had the speed booster plugin activated on my live site that’s why it was slightly slower than my other websites (which I’ve been testing the theme on initially). After turning it off I’m very pleased with the speed. That’s not to say that the plugin doesn’t do its job, but it wasn’t necessarily good for my server setup.

Yes, we switched Ga-ga.com to Newsmag … and still playing with it in my “spare time” … I have not fully optimized the new theme/site combo, so the old scores and such are not yet “up to speed” as it were.

For the site, we found that it worked a little better to have more of a “magazine” style layout (borders) than the newspaper layout, partly because we have some long form book serials/fiction, and .. well, anyway, YES… Ga-Ga.com is now running on NEWSMAG from the savvy folk at TagDiv. So, Newsmag was the right choice for this particular site, hence the switcheroo.

I have not yet
1) optimized the gravatar local caching
2) optimized fonts
3) minified the main CSS file manually
4) finished the home page; and menus.
5) fixed the logos, as I’m playing with changing logo design since it’s not technically a “done” website; the content there now is “mostly” stuff we’re rescuing from some older sites which are being retired and we’re keeping the good stuff for the new site, which will launch Jan.2015.
6) various other minor tweaks

Work in progress as of 12/12/14. 🙂

Theme is not at fault for traffic changes. Google and Bing are constantly re-engineering how they show search results. If you use proper XML sitemap, and use white-hat SEO techniques, the site will do as well or better than another theme. PageSpeed, proper META data, original content, reduce use of content already on t he net, etc. all impact your placement in search. Your Google Webmaster tools account will also help with checking that.

However, robot traffic can go down if your internal links are setup differently; meaning if you have more/less links to related content, change your comment system, add any ad networks Google doesn’t like etc.

Only you can “solve your problem” with your own website.

okay, this “might” be the issue, might not…

in looking at the /includes/less_files/font-icons.less

I did find this …

@font-face {
font-family: 'newsmag';
src: url('@{td_css_path}images/icons/newsmag.eot?6');
src: url('@{td_css_path}images/icons/newsmag.eot?6#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('@{td_css_path}images/icons/newsmag.woff?6') format('woff'),
url('@{td_css_path}images/icons/newsmag.ttf?6') format('truetype'),
url('@{td_css_path}images/icons/newsmag.svg?6#newsmag') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}

While on the “face” of it (typography pun 🙂 ) … that “should” work, and follows modern practice … the ?# might be breaking somewhere, but doubtful.

e.g.,
normal use:
@font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('webfont.woff2') format('woff2'), /* Super Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Pretty Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}

By contrast this is how I load the Font Awesome font on our main business site at bottom of the main minified CSS file:
(un-minified for easy read .. without the FA style classes….)
@font-face{font-family:'FontAwesome';
src:url('/assets/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot');
src:url('/assets/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix&v=4.1.0') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('/assets/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('/assets/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('/assets/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg#fontawesomeregular') format('svg');font-weight:normal;font-style:normal}

Putting it at bottom of our main style.css worked best for us as it wasn’t being loaded through a separate load/include function.

So, if somebody – who can’t see the icons on their own website – wants to try putting the CSS for the font at bottom of their style.css file, have at it, then re-testing their website to see if the fonts work. Not sure where the less file is being called from … possibly the speed booster master file or functions.php.

I can’t test as I am not having the “I don’t see icons” issue.

Well if you have a theme speed of “25” before using speed booster you have a lot of other problems with your website that the speed booster will not fix; it may also NOT work with some plugins which is why you need to test activating each one at a time to see which one *does not* work with it.

Test site using GTMetrix.com to see all the issues you may have. You should be able to have a speed of 80+ without using the speed booster plugin, if you do everything *ELSE* properly.

Okay… as promised, here is some help for this based on what I’ve done in past for Newspaper, translated for what works with this theme. It may be that the italics are not loading properly due to the enqueue method; dunno. I posted this in your other thread, but will also post here for completeness.

(admin – correct me if wrong on any of this !)

Note that in the td_fonts.php file it does appear italic is specified to be loaded from line 889 (this whole block was found in functions.php in Newspaper theme for those who are moving over).

e.g.,

wp_enqueue_style('google-font-rest', td_global::$http_or_https . '://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans:400,700,400italic|Ubuntu:400,400italic|Open+Sans:400italic,400|Oswald:400,700|Roboto+Condensed:400italic,700italic,400,700'); //used on menus/small text

That “should” be loading the “normal” body font (400 weight) in both normal and true italic (vs oblique/slanted non-italic font).

Check your page source for a post to see if that is actually there.

Similarly at line 902 this is found; presumably this would be enabled and enqueued if selected from the theme fonts selectors:
if(!in_array('g_438', $td_user_fonts_list)) {//'g_438', //Open Sans
wp_enqueue_style('google-font-opensans', td_global::$http_or_https . '://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700&subset=latin,cyrillic-ext,greek-ext,greek,vietnamese,latin-ext,cyrillic'); //used on menus/small text

This has the light, normal, semi-bold, and bold weights, however does not have the italics, which I am not sure appends or replaces the main element at line 889.

Likely if one were so inclined they would edit the line 889 to add all the weights desired for Open Sans, remove the fonts and languages not being used, following the schema spit out from the Google Fonts website font builder:
http://www.google.com/fonts#UsePlace:use/Collection:Open+Sans

e.g., Open+Sans:300italic,400italic,600italic,700italic,400,300,600,700

so, you could edit this code like so:
wp_enqueue_style('google-font-rest', td_global::$http_or_https . '://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300italic,400italic,600italic,700italic,400,300,600,700'); //used on menus/small text

For expert users, one might actually remove that block from the td_fonts.php file entirely, edit the style.css to search/replace all fonts to Open Sans, then grab the CSS from Google’s server by loading the above URL in a browser, and putting all the styles at bottom of the style.css sheet (I actually did this for Newspaper on one site, for better PageSpeed Insights score).

I only provide these examples as possible solutions and they may not apply to you. Hope that helps somebody on this topic.

You would need to manually “minify” your CSS/JS. See the “PageSpeed” sticky topic for more info on optimizing your site.

Use GTMetrix.com to test your site as it will outline which issues are server or content related, and often provide optimized versions you can download and try to upload to your site.

It’s virtually impossible to remove the “render blocking” issue, as unless you build a site theme from scratch to load CSS in “sections” (impossible with a site theme like this with so many options for different types of users), there will ALWAYS be the need to load some elements before the above the fold content loads. Upshot: worry about everything ELSE and leave that for last.

One of my websites has pagespeed score of 97 with the render blocking issues still there as a warning. It’s the last thing to worry about.

My website it’s: http://www.hardwa.reviews/portal/

Now when I desactivated the tagDiv speed booster my page looks that:
