There are several workarounds, but this is not that simple. If interested you can add me as admin to your wordpress and I’ll try several things to solve this (not an easy solution though)

Check this article for plugins that will lazyload your images: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/6-lazy-load-plugins-to-make-your-wordpress-site-faster/

“Lazy load” and “Rocket Lazy Load” have worked fine for me without having any conflicts with w3 total cache, but you will have to check how they work with your theme and plugins compilation.

Check how your site responds with and without CDN. MaxCDN has a trial period of one month. You can check it without being charged anything. If the difference is not big, then I would not suggest you to get a CDN service. Instead, I would suggest you to change your caching plugin to a paid one: WP Rocet is the best out there and easily customizable, plus it has an option to lazyload your images, videos and iframes!

Enhancing the purchasing process for your visitors is very important. I think that you should review your main competitors and copy part of their practices. For example, if you check some other sports equiment sites you will see that they have a left sidebar with the sports (Basketball, Football, etc.). This could help your visitors navigate through your site. Again, if something doesn’t add anything to your goal, then it shouldn’t be there, no matter how nice it looks or how much time and money you spent to create it.

Best luck

Right now your site is loading at almost 3 seconds. I wouldn’t pay any attention to Google Pagespeed and would try the following:
1. Deactivate my plugins one by one and see which one slows down the site. If you have installed any social media plugins, then by deactivating these you will probably increase your speed by at least 40%. Try replacing the plugins you are using with other that do the same job. Also, if there are any plugins that you are not using, I would suggest you to Delete them.
2. Change the theme with a lighter one.
3. Optimize your images. You can do this with a plugin, but it’s always better to do it manually. By converting your png and gif images to jpg, your loading time will improve. Also, every time you add a new image resize it through a resizing software and not the Default WordPress image editor. Last, get a plugin that will lazyload your images. This will improve your G Pagepseed numbers signficantly.
4. Not related with Page speed, but something that I think is crucial for your site is this: Decrease the size of your logo and remove from your home page everything that is against your goal, which seems like it is one: Converting your visitors to buyers. Always keep this in mind and remove everything that may function against it.
I would remove both the logo (or decrease it and put it inside the Navigation Menu. I would also remove the top menu with the Home icon and maybe the block with the image under your Navigation Menu. This way the visitor will know that there is a blog without having to scroll down the page.

Hope these help a little.

Same problem here on the same line. Any solutions would be appreciated.

Hi John. Consider yourself a lucky guy. This plugin messed my whole site and if you Google it you will see that it has messed up hundreds of others’ sites too. So, do not activate it. Delete it and seek for another plugin.

I did the same through FTP. But I’m not sure if I’m back to square one or below this. The site seems to work normally but sometimes I get some error messages.

Hi Johnny. It works fine to me. I guess you solved it.
