OK, thanks

Phew, that’s a relief.
Many thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for your patience and the explanation about “droplr” and the suggestion for snipboard. I have signed up for that as it appears very useful. I’m grateful for your assistance as I’m in my mid 70’s and the learning curve is pretty steep at this stage.

Now getting back to the thread, I have been checking further and I found that the 403 Forbidden was probably being triggered because clicking on the image activated a connection to try and access the site’s upload folder in an attempt to load the image, if that makes sense.
It probably didnt trigger for me because our permissions granted to my IP address and so it would load the image directly on a black background.
I deleted all the images on the home page and the product images in Woo. I guess WP reconstructed a range of sizes of these images and so it alleviated the problem.

May I ask if this issue is resolved at your end.
Thanks

I went to the URl for a test product that is not on display and got the same problem ie it takes me to the image. I did this without being logged into WP admin. And I did it on a mobile phone. Same problem but it doesnt take me to droplr like it does for you.

Our “developer” has been working on speeding up the home page and cant work out what’s amiss.
I will try shutting down plugins now.

WOW !!! That explains why sales came to an abrupt halt 2 days ago. The site tests OK here . Strange.

If you are on the Home page and you click on the product thumbnail image, does it take you to the full product page? And then when you get there and click on the big product image, is that when you get the https://d.pr/i/CTI6W8 page.

Do you reckon its been hacked?

I cant see how you are getting through to tomdhu.com. That was put on divert to https://www.trapbarn.com 6 months ago. Please visit https://www.trapbarn.com.

Hi Marko,

Many thanks for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated.

Marvellous service – particularly as it wasn’t even a W3TC issue.
Many thanks.

Hi,

Together we managed to trace why the preload would not work. It was due to some rich text schema that was in the Head section. This text was checked out as OK by Google’s RT tester. Hee it is.

<script type="application/ld+json" class="yoast-schema-graph">
{
"@context":"https://schema.org",
"@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite",
"@id":"https://www.trapbarn.com/#website",

Could you suggest why this should be?

Hi Gabe,
Thanks for the quick response. You certainly know WordPress!

1. I switched off the Minify in W3TC but that dropped the speed rating down from 78 to 63.
2. I then went into AC setting and entered /wp-content/themes/Avada/includes/lib/assets/fonts/icomoon/icomoon.woff in to the Preload Local Font Files box and then updated. It took the rating ack up to 76.
3. Turning now to <script type="application/ld+json" class=yoast-schema-graph> and </scrpt>.
This is rich text mark up that was tested with Googles Rich Text tester and it passed.
I deleted it and it took the score up to 81 ! and the preload seems to have worked. Marvellous!!
Does this mean I have to forget about rich text altogether and could it be that my rich text code is conflicting with Yoast’s own schema efforts?

I now have to work on Eliminate render-blocking resources (1.8 secs) and Remove unused JavaScript (1.2 secs).
Many thanks for your help.

Apologies,

What I pasted was…
<link rel=&quot;preload&quot; href=&quot;/wp-content/themes/Avada/includes/lib/assets/fonts/icomoon/icomoon.woff&quot; as=&quot;font&quot; type=&quot;font/woff&quot; crossorigin=&quot;anonymous&quot;>

Hi,
Update.
The Appearance>Theme Editor took me to the Child Theme stylesheet where I pasted ….
<link rel=&quot;preload&quot; href=&quot;/wp-content/themes/Avada/includes/lib/assets/fonts/icomoon/icomoon.woff&quot; as=&quot;font&quot; type=&quot;font/woff&quot; crossorigin=&quot;anonymous&quot;>

But nothing changed.
I then tried pasting it in the parent theme header.php and it complained with “Scrape nonce check failed”.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi Marko,
Thanks for the fast response. I am most grateful for your support and your patience considering I am a novice when it comes to code.

I placed your suggestion in <HEAD> PAGE SECTION INJECTION ( for every page) using the “My Custom Functions” but it actually made it slower.

Magic! That worked nicely.

Many thanks for your assistance.
