Colleagues:
Images I place in a theme slide or carousel take a minute or two to load in this theme. Is this a theme issue or an issue with disk IO / throttling by an provider?
Would appreciate any tips on how to fix this problem.
Thanks. tom
Hi,
If this is not a server issue, please try to deactivate all your plugins except Visual composer, clear the cache, purge cdn files and check again. Also you could use the WP Super Cache for your website, here is a guide to help you with the configuration – https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ This tutorial is also useful and you should follow the steps mentioned to improve page loading speed – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thanks

Thanks. I migrated my site from a Managed WP server to a CPanel shared host, increased site RAM by a GB, installed WP-Super Cache, and removed all MU plugins from the managed WP site. The site is real fast now.
Ironically, the TagDiv image carousel or slide still doesn’t load when the home page is invoked. One has to land on the page for a minute or two, before the slide starts. To me, this indicates a problem with the theme.
I suppose a plugin could be the culprit. But those I am running I need.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Hi,
I have inspected your site but it seems to be loading fine now – https://www.screencast.com/t/gUCdLSvovUA nowhere near the two minutes you are experiencing. You are right, some plugins could slow down the page speed loading. Please follow the guide I provided above – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ to try and optimize the loading speed, and hopefully show improvements in this matter.
Thanks
Simon:
Thanks. Yes, I’ve optimized the site by deleting plugins and following your suggestions. Problem is, the home page still takes about 20-30 seconds to load the slider. That’s way too long. As you know, a visitor will click off a site after 2 seconds if a page or graphic doesn’t invoke. And they won’t even know this slider is there because they won’t wait around to view it. When I invoke this page … I see white screen space (using 3 different browsers) for about 20-30 seconds.
This is a nice, but practically useless function for my site. I tried it because I wanted to take advantage of theme native features and avoid the overhead of the revolution slider. It looks like I’ll revisit the revolution again. Thanks again for your help. Tom
