Performance and Speed.

So I have been working on this problem and removing the PRE LOADER seems to help a lot. So if any one has this problem, all they have to do is remove the pre-loader from the header.php file. It is clearly marked.

Hello adogam,

Indeed Zerif is a bit heavy on the resources, we’ll try to optimize it better.
We might add a checkbox to activate/deactivate the preloader, thanks for reporting it.

Best regards,
Marius

The preloader is the the turning graphics before the page loads?

Yes. The reason it slows things down, is because it makes it load the loader prior to the page content starts. Then it won’t load the content until page completely loads.

For a simple website not showing video you would want to remove it. Once removed your viewers can at least start looking at content without even knowing the whole page hasn’t load JS file or something.

Hi adogam,

Thanks for sharing your tip on removing the Pre Loader. My website loads so much faster!

You’re welcome, glad I can help.

New option has been added, now Preloader can be disabled from the Customizer.

Thank You Marius, do you think I’ll can set the size of backgrouund image too?

@alebrigato What is the issue with background image?

@hardeep Asrani I would be able to set the size of the picture, maybe resize and/or crop it

@marius I’ve updated my theme, but I haven’t found the option to disable Preloader..

In the meanwhile I cut this section manually:

/* PRE LOADER */
.preloader {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-color: #fefefe;
z-index: 99999;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden !important;
}
.status {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
background-image: url(images/loading.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
margin: -100px 0 0 -100px;
}

Seems that it works better now!

Hello Alebrigato,

I made a mistake, this option has only been added for PRO version for now, but we’ll add it on Lite very soon. Your solution fixes the problem too ??
