Hello there,
I’m are running al lot of websites with the theme Enfold and I’m (except for the manually upgrading… :-)) very satisfied with the usability. Now we re-create a new website with a lot of customized Widgets in it. I don’t know if that is the issue, but the website is very slow now.
Please click on the button ‘Totaaloverzicht’ beneath the title ‘Activiteitenagenda’ in the right sidebar.
I installed the cache plugin and checked the website on performance and speed. I also enabled some checkboxes in the Performance-tab of Enfold. But I think the Widgets are slowing down the website because when I’m editing the Widgets-page in the admin, a short warning pops up in my Safari browser: This webpage is using significant energy…
Is that possible and can we solve that without removing them?
I hope you van help me with this performance/speed issue.
Thanks and greetings from Marcel
Hey Marcel,
Your website loads fine on my end and the page you’re referring to is a common WordPress functionality and admin pages and scripts are excluded from caching most of the time, so they can seem slow, but it does mot mean your user-facing pages are like that.
You should be running at least php5.6.3 for the code to work properly. Please consider upgrading your php version.
Best regards,
Victoria
Hi Victoria,
Thanks fo your message. I will take a look for upgrading PHP but that isn’t the problem. On almost every single desktop computer (Window’s/Mac) with fast internet the page will load the first time within 7/8/9 full seconds. That’s too slow for the users and I had some complains already :-(
Maybe another solution with the script-loading of the Widgets?

Hi,
Updating php will help with optimization.
