Search Results for 'website speed'

HI, if you have the tagDiv speed booster plugin installed, it will appear in your list of plugins 😉

You can find it in the full download from Theme Forest for the theme (the folder with all the extra stuff like docs, psd bits, etc., in the “plugins” folder).

With Yslow, you’ll never get a perfect “numerical” score unless you load SOMETHING off a CDN someplace as they seem to think everybody should do that, even if it’s not faster for some stuff. But GTMetrix will “explain” why the score is what it is in detail. But you can still get an “A” for fixing everything else where possible. 🙂

It might be helpful (*HEY MARIUS!*) to add something to the docs for the theme install, perhaps on the ‘how to speed up website’ section, that spells out WHERE the plugin actually is – even though most folks SHOULD have looked at what was in the folder for the theme (ahem) before installing the theme.

My personal thinking is that if sharedcount is going out and grabbing the data for you, and then you’re grabbing data from them, it seems to be an obvious slowdown.

Since you’re using the (apparently) ‘free/unauthenticated API’ you not only have to contend with the 10,000 queries limit, but are also in the pool with all other free users, and obviously this is a slowdown someplace, perhaps it’s fetching the graphic before service code which would introduce delay for it to fetch that and serve back to you; dunno.

You might pay for one month trial on their upgraded “PLUS” plan to get the better connection?

I’d likely do a split test among services
1) theme built-in features
2) what you’re using now
3) AddThis Sharing (or ShareThis if you prefer)

Run speed tests with GTMetrix or something and measure the speed FROM THAT API compared to speed of other methods, and go with what is faster.

Marius/Radu may have better answer. 🙂

Disabling all plugins isn’t an option. I need most of them to make my website work. I was just wondering if it is something theme related or wordpress related. Maybe the theme is set up to load all external js before rendering the page? And if not, how can i make the page render before those scripts are loaded? Also, the wp-postview and ajax vies count plugins slow down the rendering of the page! Are you guys planning on integrating these ajax views counters in the next update? I would be nice to so the theme functions working flawlessly with caching plugins. I mean, that is what you guys advertise with: the theme’s speed and functionality 🙂

Love to hear some opions from other people and would like to know if somebody else is experiencing the same problem with plugins or functions that make js calls to social media api! I can’t be the only one who uses plugins that show how many times a post is shared on social media.

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.

I would stick with ONLY enabling Page Cache.

And now … my morning soapbox: brought to you by clean living and cute kittens ….

Remember that if you’re using the TagDiv Speed Booster plugin, it is MOVING things around on the page for better performance when the page is loaded. You do not want the dynamic stuff cached or it won’t show updates to things on pages. Your home page would not show new items, categories wouldn’t show new items, sidebars wouldn’t show new, recent, related, etc.

So, you only want to enable the page cache which will basically serve up a snapshot of the page and not the dynamic stuff which is still called via php.

Newspaper type sites are way more complex than say, a blog about raising rabbits on a farm, or a bicycling blog updated once a month. If you have content updated daily, or even hourly, caching can help with speed and limit load on server, but it can be TRICKY to optimize for YOUR particular website, due to how elements are loaded on pages, where they are, what other optimizations are running, etc.

There truly is no “one click” caching option for any busy, complex website. Blogs sure. Complex websites need to be tweaked for advanced tools like caching, just like all the other tweaks not built-in to WordPress, or the theme.

So, for most advanced users, there is trial and error – nothing to do with the theme, and not covered by support team for your particular use.

The theme devs have “recommended” you only use Page Cache, as that is how they achieve their own high speed rating/score.

So, you may wish to
1) fully optimize your site, outside of caching!
2) enable tagdiv speed booster and make sure nothing breaks if you’re using some kind of external plugin which might conflict with the optimizations (on our site the < > arrows disappear in 3.6, with WP 3.8.1; with 3.5 the slide out “you might like” broke) — you have to decide if this is a benefit for you or not; YOU need to test, decide, then either use or not for YOUR particular solution
3) make trusted backups of your site before doing any caching!!
4) enable W3C and use page cache only; test your site — either determine if it works for you or not, and some trade offs, and if there are workarounds for some things like page counters, random or recent dynamic elements, etc. — and there are forum posts on issues other have faced with using specific plugins, or with certain features in use (e.g., JetPack, forms, membership, bbpress, etc.)
5) adjust, test, adjust, test.

If you have no idea how to do any of that you likely would need to hire a developer at an hourly rate. Or, do what most of us do which is trial, error, forums, Google search, test, retest, learn, fail, learn.

The reason there is no simple “how to” for caching, is that there are a hundred things which might be impacted by that if you turn on every option in the theme and load up a dozen external plugins.

In a perfect world, for caching, the average joe might try this:
1) setup the theme with only the basic functions; no special menu, no JetPack, no “counters” for social media reads, one ad management system or AdSense.
2) enable tagDiv Speed Booster BETA plugin to optimize the placement of the CSS, JS components, Google fonts, et al.
3) put in the basic optimizations: a) gzip/deflate at server level, b) htaccess, c) image optimization tweaks (plugin, and/or functions.php mod from my speed posts)
4) W3C or other caching with minimal page caching settings.
5) test site.
6) turn on the “fun” features like megamenu, jetpack, forms, social reads/likes; choose what works; what doesn’t — either find workaround or don’t use.

There is ALWAYS a tradeoff between speed and features. You can’t have 100 add-ons and have the speed of a site with 15 add-ons. So, YOU need to decide if speed vs features matters, or other way around.

Hope that helps somebody!

Hi,
Thanks for good advices! I spent hours to try optimize my website, read all topics and it’s works! 🙂 ( but only on main page. I can’t optimize other pages)

PageSpeed is sometimes 99/100: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?hl=en&url=mefus.nazwa.pl%2FGettinEnglish%2F

I have one problem. After I install tagDiv speed booster and I don’t have latin-ext fonts. How can I fixed it.

Thanks!

Cheers

P.S. Sorry for my English! 🙂

(oops… you may not NEED to do the addition to wp-config.php — we do it as matter of course as it helps with our system and mod_pagespeed; I may have mentally cross-linked that with hard-coding paths in the header file for the theme to explicitly put in the site URLs vs [theme path] dbase lookups…. upshot, always best to actually specify your URL to website in ALL code vs [get theme path] type stuff … your mileage may vary)

😉 Chris

(I NEED A VACATION!)

One more ….
it’s also recommended to explicitly define your website URL in your wp-config.php file at the end of the file

e.g.

define('WP_HOME', 'http://mywebsite.com');
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://mywebsite.com');

Basically Google is against ANY “text link” advertising or text linking networks… however, if you are adding rel=nofollow you’re likely fine, but many sponsors want dofollow “pretend organic links” …. you will have to research that. Best to fully read and digest Google’s official webmaster guidelines on text links:
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66356

Webmaster guidelines – current:
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35769

Everybody on this forum should likely have read this SEO guide already (2010 version):
http://www.google.com/webmasters/docs/search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf

However, be aware they are “whacking” major “link selling” networks, which has been a major effort since last Summer, including the TLA (Text Link Ads) folks.

TO CLARIFY:
organic links to things mentioned in an original article are organic – linking to GoDaddy if you mention them in tutorial on how to use their mod_pagespeed settings, for example. So, just linking to Apple’s website page about their new Mac, in doing review would not be spammy.

ALL sponsored links on pages and in articles should be rel=nofollow or you will be bitten! Linking to GoDaddy or “domain registration” with a dofollow sponsored link in an article is spammy.

See the pagespeed topic for more information on optimizing your site. This is not specifically unique to this theme – it’s an issue with *all* websites and WordPress.

Start here

You might need to do some custom work, such as found in the theme documentation:

Hahaha i did it finally, i have social sharing buttons with PageSpeed %100 🙂
the Radu’s suggestion is finally works i have write the css id wrong, i fixed it and it works.
Use WPSocialite plugin and add it to tag speed booster plugin for move footer 🙂 (you have to do the “When Scroll, Run js” from the plugins settings.)

@radu you have to sticky that post because every one have to solve that Social Sharing PageSpeed problem 🙂

Best Regards

you can check my pagespeed scores my website is

Edit: When i test it 10 mins before it is %100 for all mobile pages but now it is saying there is problem with different css in just mobile? where can i do it for mobiles too?

• This reply was modified 12 years by cagdas. Reason: mobile responsive problem

OMG… my website is soooo fast now!! I even got a B @ Yslow and 95% at Pagespeed.

Great update peeps! Please keep up the great development and spoil us more in the future! 😀

The demo is likely using the elements that Radu recommends from the thread:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/

So, make sure you’ve done all that. And adding the elements to your htaccess is good practice for ALL wordpress sites (all websites in general really), and the theme can’t fix issue with web hosting, caching, headers for expiration, et al.

Note also in his demo he’s not using adsense (Google Ads), recaptcha for comments, some social media hogs, or plugins that abusively insert additional not-needed CSS files in the header. SO, generally for your own speed optimization, presume to turn anything OFF which inserts bad behavior stuff (like, ironically Google’s own ad stuff much of the time).

But the page Radu has (linked above) tells you the basics of what he did to optimize the theme.

Make sure you’re not in “compatibility mode” in IE10/11 for your website. That mucks with all sorts of things, I found. May not be the issue, but it broke all sorts of things for me. And, if your host uses mod_pagespeed or if you’re using caching be sure to “disallow” your wp-admin and themes folder from being “optimized” or “modified” as that can also break stuff. Mine still works, so usually good idea to backtrack on any new plugin installed which inserts any hooks into the page posts/admin (like a form manager, etc.). Some plugins don’t create unique IDs for their “hooks” and then this breaks other plugins.

This is common with all wordpress themes (and most websites really)… it’s not an issue with this theme.

If you’re interested in “some” of the tricks we’ve been using to try to get around this check out the pagespeed sticky topic.

Using the tagdiv speed booster plugin can help, as can things like caching, mod_pagespeed with hosting provider, etc. It basically “enqueues” several things to load better on pageload.

https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/pagespeed/

It’s a process, I can tell you. I also wouldn’t stress over it tooooo much. Worry about everything ELSE first, and leave THAT for last. Note some of the blocking errors will come from Google’s own products like AdSense.

I read this interesting topic and decided to do a check myself.

I use wp smushit, wp minify and total cache (page cache as per tagdiv’s instruction)

Google Pagespeed: 88/100 (desktop) and 73/100 (mobile)
GTMetrix: 93 Pagespeed, 76 Yslow.

Historically I always received a much lower grade with Yslow. Guess they don’t like my site 🙂

Now I will experiment with Christopher’s tip with the .htcaccess.

And one tip to others: don’t get obsessed with getting high grades… I’ve been there a couple of months ago… for 2 days I slept at 4 AM trying to figure it out :/ It became an obsession. Spend your time in the nice things of your website 🙂

Hi there,

Just to let you know how wonderful and helpful I found this thread. It gave me lots of tips in optimizing the pagespeed of my website.

Thank you all.
