How do you balance site speed with image quality in WordPress?

  • A client gave me access to a WP site that’s 10 years old. He had attempted to use Elementor to continue editing existing pages and scrambled everything. Long story short, I redesigned the site using Elementor as requested and am trying to set the homepage to the new design. Although it says its worked the live site remains the old one. Im 95% sure it isn’t a caching issue. Possibly a theme issue? (one of the standard WP themes). If anyone has any insight i would appreciate it!

  • Can you give a little more detail on your workflow – i.e is it just the home page that is the old design?

    Hi @isleeve ,

    I can understand the frustration when changes don’t reflect on the live site, especially after redesigning everything in Elementor. Since you’re confident it’s not a caching issue, here are a few things you can try to fix this:

    1. Theme Settings: Some WordPress themes come with specific settings that control which pages are displayed as the homepage. Check the theme’s customization settings to ensure the correct homepage is selected.
    2. Reading Settings: In your WordPress dashboard, go to Settings > Reading and make sure the correct homepage is selected under “Your homepage displays.”
    3. Hard Caching: Even though you’re almost sure it’s not a caching issue, it’s good to double-check server-side caching solutions like WP Rocket, Cloudflare, or hosting-specific caching mechanisms. Try clearing any object cache or CDN cache as well.
    4. Elementor Conditions: Ensure that the template you created in Elementor is correctly assigned as the homepage template under Elementor > Settings > Conditions.
    5. Page Overrides: If you’re using a child theme, verify there aren’t any overrides or custom PHP code that might be preventing the new homepage from showing.

    Hopefully, one of these steps helps solve the issue. Let me know if you need more guidance!

    Best,
