I just went from a very inadequate host to Kinsta. It is a little disorienting as Kinsta offers many of the things I used to provide myself through plugins or Enfold. I am not a developer, I’m a business owner maintaining my own sites. I’ve been running Enfold since around 2013 maybe? I’d like to think I’m a quick study but, this is a whole discipline unto itself.
I’m currently running W3, ShortPixel, Yoast, SSL insecure content fixer.
I also have WooCommerce plugins installed but, those are for a ‘under construction” storefront.
If anyone has some insights into what things might be overlapping, conflicting or some kind of hierarchy to which I should let handle important tasks that may be addressed through more than one means, I’d be grateful.
The one issue that is really jumping out at me is my mobile speed score. The report states inlining critical JS/styles and deferring non-critical js is what I should be looking at.
Thank you very much.Hey pdxammo,
I’m not sure that I fully understand your question, are you worried about the speed? If so, then how are you measuring it?
Best regards,
RikardI’m concerned about all things but yes, I am currently primarily looking at speed. I use Google page speed insights, pingdom and gift of speed.
I feel like I’m rooting around in the dark with my plugin selection. There are so many things that show up in a feature list that also are in other plugins or the theme itself. I hope to avoid duplication and by extension bloat and conflicts. I am imagining the user base of this forum specifically has insights into what works well with Enfold. Most of the other information I find is generalized and not necessarily applicable to a feature rich theme like Enfold.
I am happy to say that I see no signs that Enfold has any barriers to entering the upper echelons of speed scores or core vitals. Aside from one glaring issue with a particular file type I’m getting high 90’s both on mobile and desktop with some relatively rich content. I’m going to start another thread as that specific issue is a bit of a gremlin I can’t offer an explanation for.
This thread is a more general question of what’s worked well In the past?Hi,
If you’re concerned about speed or loading optimization, you can check these articles. The recommendations in the articles should be applicable regardless of the hosting or server the site is on.
