Images not loading (black slider or white thumbnails)

Hi,

yesterday I bought this new fantastic theme (Newspaper 9) and I’m still configuring it right now.
One problem I have is the one written in the title: when I visit my site (www.ranierisdesk.com) images will not load correctly. Sometimes the thumbnails are missing but not the ones in the slider, sometime the opposite.

In the old theme I used Smush. I disable it and unistalled. Cleared the cache from cloudflare (I don’t use anyalse plugin to generate the cache) and I installed and used the plugin “Regenerate Thumbnails”. Nothing changed.

Maybe is some plugin I have installed that is uncompatible?

Here are the installed and activeted plugins:
– Amazon Associates Link Builder
– Calculated Fields Form
– Classic Editor
– Contact Form 7
– Contact Form 7 MailChimp Extension
– Cookie Notice
– CP Blocks
– Download Monitor
– Email Before Download
– GTranslate
– Jetpack by WordPress.com
– MailChimp per WordPress
– Open external links in a new window
– Regenerate Thumbnails
– Remove Category URL
– Revolution Slider
– tagDiv Composer
– tagDiv Social Counter
– UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore
– WP Cerber Security, Antispam & Malware Scan
– Yoast SEO

Thanks for the support.

Hi,
thanks for the support.

I finded out that in the theme panel there was the option “lazy load” on. that prevent the thumbnails from load. As you saw, now the only problem is the slider that sometimes remains black (not all the time).

What should I do? It may be only CloudFlare I suppose. I have the basic plan so service like “mirage” and “polish” are not enabled on my CDN (they could be the problem).
Is this maybe the problem that cause slow loading time? (up to 4.5 seconds)

thanks

I deactivated LazyLoad from Jetpack and re-activated the theme’s one; there was no problem and everything worked fine with that.

I find out that Jetpack also has the option to “optimize images” that is use their CDN to resize the images and serve them compressed.

My homepage without jetpack CDN loads in about 3-4 seconds and weights more than 10 Mb. It use only Cloudflare. With Jatpack CDN on it takes the same amount of time but weight only 2,5 mb.

It was maybe jatpack the problem serving the cripted images? I have now deactivated it because in other forum is suggested to use Cloudflare instead.

My question is: is it possible to optimize imgs without using photoshop and jatpack CDN? It seems that smush and the theme itself, despite the thumbnails auto-generating system, cannot do the job. Even the “regenerate thumbnails” plugin fails at that: the page weights 10 mb even after cleared the cache.

Thansk for the support.
