Hey guys,
My site loading time is pretty slow. Could you help me to make the page load much faster? I’ve already reduced my images to a low kb size.
Detailed help would be very appreciated! Thanks!
Chris
Hey ccyran!
Thank you for using Enfold.
The best way to improve page speed is to upgrade to a faster hosting plan. If you’re on a shared hosting, get a dedicated server but it will cost you more. If this is not an option, you can try the following:
1. Optimize all images with AI/Photoshop before uploading to server ‘save as web safe’ jpg.
2. Once all images are on the website, optimize with www optimizer plugin twice 1hr 10mins apart.
3. Install wp-smushit run once to remove jpeg extra data then uninstall.
4. Use BWP minify plugin to minify scripts and stylesheets, you can also use W3 Total Cache’s minify settings but we use BWP for Enfold.
5. Install W3 Total Cache or WP-Super cache, select all recommended settings.
6. Logout your website, visit every page at least once to create super cache files.
7. Join Cloudflare setup your website on their CDN, Choose options: Full CDN Optimisation save then activate purge files. Once done log out.
8. Have a cup of coffee.
9. Visit your site after 20 minutes or so.
10. Don’t forget to smile.
