Growing Page Size

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 24

Hi there,

I’ve tested my site on GTmetrix and it says the page size is 6.30mb, which is much higher than industry average.

I’ve performed the following actions:
– Optimize Images
– Minify and Combine CSS and JavaScript Assets
– Use a Content Delivery Network (Cloudflare)
– Leverage Browser Caching

But still the page size is still rather large. Could you let me know if I’m doing the right improvements, or if I need to be doing something else?

Thanks,
Hayes

Hello !

After inspecting your website we have found that one of your problems is that you are facing a photo issue as you can see it here: https://www.screencast.com/t/To2D7f17NOL9

Also please take a look at our page speed tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/

Also you can try and convert your website to fully cloud templates and remove the standard pack but that means to re-design your website using only the templates available after deactivating the standard pack.

Thank you !

Hi Vlad,

May I know the best way to fix the photo issue?

I’ve also used cloud themes and deactivated the Standard Pack. Just wondering if I’m doing this correctly?

Thanks,

Hello !

You will have to find that photo and remove it because it causes a 404 error, which means that it doesn’t load. Try looking for it in your media library and if you can’t find it in there check your cpanel, you should find it in your wordpress files.

Yes, that is a correct method if you want to achieve great speed. Also we have noticed that you have 3 fonts and your photos are way to big which hold your website back. We would recommend using compressed images, and rescale them. A good way would be to rescale your images in an app like photoshop to a smaller size, when using photoshop for example that resizes and compresses your images which should provide greater results.

I hope this was helpful !

Thank you !

Hi Vlad,

Thanks for highlighting this. I think I’ve removed it already.

However, while the first module appears right away when I load the website on mobile, the module below it takes quite a long time to load. Whenever I scroll up or down, the site might go blank and it takes a long time for the modules to appear. Is this all because of the image sizes?

Thanks,
Hayes

Hello !

Indeed the page is still slow. If you test your website using GTMetrix you will see that there are not much things to improve…

We recommend you to convert your website to full cloud library and pro layouts which means deactivating the standard pack plugin and replacing all the templates with cloud library ones. That should improve your website a lot.

I hope this was helpful !

Thank you !

Hi Vlad,

Indeed I’m already using the Default Pro layout and deactivated the Standard Pack.

Or is it I have done it wrong? Please advise.

Thanks,
Hayes
