0.5 Secs of Broken Page

    Hello Blocksy,

    Two days ago, I applied the Blocksy-News theme to my blog, and I’m happy with how it performs, the layout, and everything else about it.

    Having said that, there is one qualm that’s giving new readers of my blog a bad impression. Which is I can’t describe it in words, so here’s a video.

    I am not sure what’s causing this, but I suppose it has something to do with “cache plugins; WordPress performance plugins”.

    As someone who is naive to coding, I am not sure what should be turned off.

    Please let me know what should I do.

  • Hello @yourjayanth

    Honestly, this is pretty much normal behaviour when it comes to caching solutions. You see, most of the stylesheet files are “render blocking” by default, meaning nothing will be displayed until these files have been read, so that the browser knows how to stylise elements and such on the screen.

    In your case, you’ve pretty much moved those CSS/JS files to be executed later, to increase the perceived speed of the website. This flashes briefly the page with not all the CSS files loaded, thus the “broken” layout.

    My suggestion would be to look around the caching solution option and exclude the main files that are related to the rendering of the page. For the theme, it would be /wp-content/themes/blocksy/static/bundle/main.min.css, but you might need to exclude others, depending on what kind of plugins you have installed and whatnot.

    Hope this points you in the right direction!

    Thanks.

    I also use Cloudflare along with WP-Optimize, so I guess things get sorta tricky here.

    Hello @yourjayanth

    No, there shouldn’t be any tricks here, as Cloudflare is an external service and automatically inherits what is served by the website.

    WP Optimise is the one that needs to be taken care of. Can you attempt in excluding the main file from being processed? ??

    Thanks.
