Much thanks, this did the job.

Though I had to drop the -I option as it only fetches the header.

-XGET can also be dropped as GET is the default http request method.

Thanks again!

I was originally using W3 Total Cache but had two issues. Firstly, intermittent incorrect rendering of some pages which required having to flush the cache multiple times a day for those pages. Secondly, slow response time for logged in users.

I tried the LSCache plugin with apache on my hosting provider who has a server level LiteSpeed cache. The results with the default installation were immediate and impressive.

For non-logged in users the page display was instantaneous once the page was in the cache. For logged in users first time page load was slower but then was instantaneous on subsequent page loads. LSCache creates a private cache for each logged in user which maintains page integrity albeit at the expense of additional disk space.

The default LSCache plugin settings only configures page cache and none of browser, object or minify so there’s opportunity for further performance improvements.

Based on my experience I’d recommend LiteSpeed Cache if your hosting provider has it enabled at the server level.

Okay, thanks for the explanation.

Thank you @webnus, that did the trick.

Thanks for the followup.

I can confirm with the recent version of Directorist 6.4.1 I’m now seeing “data-alt” tags set to the post title for each image in the slider. From memory I was only seeing it for the first image in the previous version of Directorist. Look forward to an upcoming version which uses the image’s own alt tag.

With regard to Yoast SEO analysis I’m referring when one is editting a directory listing in the Directorist WordPress Admin dashboard (eg “Directory listings” -> “All listings”). When editting a particular directory listing and one opens the Yoast “SEO analysis” window it reports:

Outbound links: No outbound links appear in this page. Add some!

– even though I have a link defined in the Directorist Website field.
– if I define a link in the Directorist Description window then Yoast recognises it

Get similar issue with images, the ones in the slider aren’t recognised by Yoast, in particular it reports:

Image alt attributes: No images appear on this page. Add some!

On the live website it shouldn’t matter since the images and links do exist, just misleading analysis from Yoast when one is editting a directory listing.

Thanks again.
