I run a recipe website and I’ve noticed that the load time for my pages is slightly slower due to the high-quality images I use for each recipe. I’m seeking advice on the best practices for optimizing these images without compromising too much on quality. Are there any specific plugins or techniques you would recommend? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!”

When I deactivate the 10web plugin, my website loads fine. However, when I install this plugin, it does not load properly.

Please let me know what’s the issue.

Pretty much, the pages themselves are quite fast to load (get an average of 90+ on PageSpeed insights)

However, the issue is the URLS loading themselves. For example if you click on a link in the nav, it takes along time for the url to change in the browser, but once that’s done the page load instantly.

Anyone know who to fix this?

Thanks,

Add to that the fact that with each new update this plugin becomes a bigger resource hog and your page load times will go up and up and up to the point it is difficult to even load the Elementor edit engine on some pages.

Their customer service really sucks and they charged me for an entire additional year of service in spite of the fact I cancelled the subscription weeks before, and they refuse to refund me.

They are FRAUDSTERS! Don’t waste your time and money and don’t put your website at risk with this highly questionable plugin.

In many cases, these buttons are below the fold and thus loading them delayed won’t cause a negative user impact.

Is this something the developers have considered adding? It could be a configurable option as well in the WordPress admin so as to not create a breaking / undesired experience for current users.

I appreciate the consideration of this suggestion being added to the plugin.

I’m using the latest versions of PHP, WordPress, and Graphina plugin (v1.5.8).

The data that you see in the chart is NOT dynamic, meaning that it was manually added. However, the chart appears to be render blocking the rest of my page, which is adversely effecting the page load time.

You can see how the chart is the culprit by resizing your browser down to mobile, since I am intentionally hiding the chart on mobile viewports.

Is there anything I can do to prevent this render blocking?

In other words, .. it would be ideal if the HTML that’s below the chart could be displayed while the chart continues to load/render .. rather than waiting until after the chart has been fully rendered and displayed. How can I achieve this?

Thanks,

I’m confused about how to measure the speed on my website properly. I don’t really know much about this, and as a blogger just wanted to work on content. However, it seems like my website is slow with recent Google updates, but maybe I measure it the wrong way. This is where I am very confused.

I tried GTmetrics, Pingdom, and PageSpeed insights but what I don’t understand is…

Does it matter whether I copy-paste my website’s URL in the tool or simply type in www. and my site name .com???

When I copy-paste my URL (which starts with HTTPS), I get great results with all three tools, but when I type in my website’s name, it automatically adds HTTP in the front, and I get terrible speed and performance results.

I recently watched a video tutorial about this, and it seems like copy-pasting my URL is the correct way. Still, not sure what the difference is and why the results are so dramatically different.

Thank you all in advance for your help and patience with someone who doesn’t know much about this technical stuff!

After checking the waterfall I contacted my server host for assistance as I thought it might be an SSL issue, but they checked and found a Cron issue, which I resolved but the page load issue remained.

After a deeper dive into the server traffic my hosting company sent me the following message:

—————————————-
On checking the logs, I could see PHP fatal errors. Typically this problem occurs when a PHP code in wordpress takes a long time to run and reaches the maximum time limit set

I have now increased the max execution time. Could you please check the plugin gallery-custom-links which is causing the issue with the help of a developer.

After deactivating Gallery Custom Links my web page loading issue was resolved and my website is working fine now.

Having gone through the trials and tribulations of juggling a page optimizing plugin (tried a lot of them), Cloudflare (security, page optimization and edge cache), and Amazon Cloudfront (for fast edge caching of static files), and the headaches that came with it, I’ve replaced all that with LiteSpeed Cache and quic.cloud

While the old set up gave me sub 400ms page load times, there would be some odd interactions between the components and menus would often not open or require the page to be reloaded. Then there would be the matter of interactive pages, which were painfully slow, down to the network lag between Cloudflare and my origin server. That meant that working in the wp-admin area was also painfully slow.

Now that I’ve switched to LiteSpeed Cache and quic.cloud, there’s no headaches: quic.cloud provides security, static caching, dynamic caching, page optimization, image optimization, critical css calculation, low quality image placeholder creation (for lazy loading images), and it communicates with my origin server over HTTP/3 (QUIC). The whole lot connects to the LiteSpeed Cache plugin using the quic.cloud API.

So far, so excellent.

Front end static pages are loading in under 200ms on Pingdom and get an A. It also gets A’s in every category on WebPageTest.Org. Google Pagespeed gives it 97 Mobile and 100 Desktop. GTmetrix give it A/A and Yellowlab Tools give it A.

Interactive performance is quite impressive, too – my WooCommerce dashboard loads in 700ms. Helped, no doubt, by the origin server and quic.cloud communicating over QUIC (HTTP/3)!

I’ve never before seen a WordPress site get such excellent performance with so little effort. I would definitely recommend trying out LSCache and Quic.Cloud. The set up requires you to carefully follow their instructions as you need to switch your domain to point to their edge server in two steps, but if you want high performance without a headache, this is a great way to do it.

Since one of your last updates, my page load score in GTMetrix has dramatically dropped. Our score was always above 80%, and this is what it currently is:

2 issues which were not a problem before:
– For our domain we use a CDN, but the Instagram feed causes a 0 score for “Use a CDN” to the Instagram feed.
– There is a problem with redirects in the Instagram feed.

I hope you can give advise on this.
