I have few questions please guide me:

1. it is showing i need to optimize CSS Delivery, i saw article about combining many css files to one, but i am not sure if it will be applicable in these 3rd part css below:
Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:
http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…ontact-form-plugin/css/style.css?ver=4.1
http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…ser/assets/css/js_composer.css?ver=4.3.4
http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…content/themes/Newsmag/style.css?ver=1.2
http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…alize/frontend/css/socialize.css?ver=4.1

first css is of contact form i am using, widget url is :
https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-plugin/
please suggest me good contact form, which will not create any porb.

2nd css is of visual composer i guess, please suggest me its solution too.

2. Minify CSS for the following resources to reduce their size by 10.5KiB (16% reduction).

Minifying http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…content/themes/Newsmag/style.css?ver=1.2 could save 9.1KiB (17% reduction) after compression.
Minifying http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…ser/assets/css/js_composer.css?ver=4.3.4 could save 1.4KiB (13% reduction) after compression.

How can i compress them? please guide!

3.Minify JavaScript for the following resources to reduce their size by 4.8KiB (3% reduction).

Minifying http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…assets/js/js_composer_front.js?ver=4.3.4 could save 2.1KiB (36% reduction) after compression.
Minifying https://www.gstatic.com/swiffy/v7.1.1/runtime.js could save 1.4KiB (2% reduction) after compression.
Minifying http://www.unbelievable-facts.com/…themes/Newsmag/js/td_site.min.js?ver=1.2 could save 775B (3% reduction) after compression.
Minifying http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/…s/r20150122/r20141212/expansion_embed.js could save 512B (2% reduction) after compression.

How can i minify them? please guide?

And 1 more question, currently i am using dedicated server, should i try CDN? will it help improving page speed? if yes then how much?

Hi,

First you should update the theme to the latest version and also update the plugins.
1. You have to move the css that comes from the plugins to the page bottom, you have to look for their classes and use the function presented in the pagespeed guide, use the provided function to identify the classes (for css you can also look into the page source) – http://screencast.com/t/tmBelfMQ

Do not move the style.css that comes from the theme, it causes issues.

Ex:

$this->move_style_to_footer('js_composer_front');

You should do this only after you decide which plugins you’ll use. Also note that not all plugins will tolerate this operation, after each move check the site to see if everything works fine.

About contact form – we use Contact Form 7 on our demo, you can try it or ask for another recommendation, i’m sure someone will provide some feedback on this.

2. and 3. Avoid js minification, it causes errors.
Try the other minification settings included in the W3 Total Cache plugin. – http://screencast.com/t/3cbIE92N

Thank you, Emil G.

Be sure to turn on the comments from the WordPress discussion panel, and also in the theme panel where comments can be on/off site wide.

Hi,

@gouravgola
Please also check if you have this option checked: http://screencast.com/t/bcgEYjiBni and make sure that your posts don’t have the comments template anymore because of that option.

Thanks
