My site seems to be hanging while loading, only on the iPhone. The logo and menu load and then there’s a several second lag — sometimes almost 10 seconds, I think — before the rest of the page loads. The demo doesn’t seem to hang that way and the pages pop up plenty fast on my laptop, even with the browser cache cleared. Are you seeing this? Any clues for me?
Thanks!
Hi sky19er!
You can use a cache plugin to improve page speed and minify plugins to optimize javascript and css scripts. These are some of the common plugins that you can use:
Cache Plugin:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/Minify Plugin:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/bwp-minify/
Best regards,
IsmaelOK, I installed Total Cache. I guess it’s helping — not sure — I still seem to be experiencing the issue intermittently. It seems to be correlating with reloading pages on the iPhone, as opposed to just visiting a page for the first time — not sure about that, either, though, to be honest. Are you familiar with this issue by chance?
Are there any particular settings in total cache you can recommend?
When I installed and activated Minifi, all the content came through unstyled — do you know anything about that? I notice Total Cache has it’s own Minifi settings — maybe those are good enough?
Thanks for all the help!
Hi!
I’m not really sure why it is loading slow on iPhone and no it is not a common issue for the theme. I’ll call on the rest of the support team to check this out. Yes, you can use the cache plugin’s minify settings.
Regards,
IsmaelHey!
The codex has some references on setting up caching here: http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Optimization/Caching#Further_Reading
Mobile devices, particularly iphones, can be a bit touchy from what I’ve noticed. Lots of images loading it at once for instance cause cause the browser to crash to prevent the users from having a slow loading experience. So you may want to experiment a bit with the page content or at the very least re-minify your actual images so that they are the smallest size possible when its live. Something like: http://www.jpegmini.com/ or any of the online tools to get your big background images smaller. Right now you’ve got megabytes of images trying to download so that a user can just see the site which, depending on the page loading, could be an issue.
Best regards,
DevinWow, that total cache configuration is a headache (nothing compared to what you guys deal with, of course ;). Anyway, the default settings seem to be helping. I’m not getting the hang-time at the moment, at least. I’ll keep testing and let you know if I still have questions.
Thanks again!
