Hi there
I have been using your theme for many years on several projects. I am worried that the speed issues are never addressed. My site 7.dk is slower than ever on mobile. It is hosted on Kinsta – supposedly one of the best hosts out there. It uses CDN, and I have optimized the site using Imagify for the images, WP Rocket for the caching and in general I don’t have many plugins installed.
What to do? Any suggestions?
Hello @chriswp!
The tagdiv Composer plugin is a bigger one with a lot of functions and settings. Our developers tried to improve it more and more and optimize it as much as they could in every update.
There are a lot of factors which can make your site slow. Make sure you use only some templates and fewer functionalities and options.
Some factors which you need to take into account are:
External factors: server speed, if you are using CDN or not, the external resources loaded by your website like ads, fonts, tracking scripts like Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, Twitter analytics, Hotjar and so on.
Internal factors: the number of elements on the page, image size, image formats, if you are using mobile optimized layouts, console errors, if you are using the Standard Pack plugin or not, if you are using the PRO demo or a standard one.
