Dear Enfold support,
We’re online since a week with this great theme. Now we’re up and running I’ve tested the pagespeed of our website (see private content for link).
Our score is only 39% for mobile and 45% for desktop. I thought Enfold was a very fast WordPress theme.
How can we optimize this? I’ve read some topics where BWP Minify is suggested but this plugin hasn’t been updated for over a year.
On these topics I’ve read stuff like this:
I have tried a TON of plugins, with combinations, exclusions, etc- and none of them work. Most of them break the theme- it seems the theme CSS cannot be minified or the header or footer without things not working correctly. Using Async on the JS causes the icons and bars to not load correctly.
I’ve also read this topic: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/pagespeed-performance-minify-async-etc/
However there is still not “one easy way” in simplifying the Enfold theme while this must be one of the key aspects of the theme, right?
Hope you guys can offer some help on this.
Kind regards
Patrick
Hi Patrick,
You can try one of more of the following plugins:
GZip Ninja Speed Compression:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/gzip-ninja-speed-compression/
W3 Total cache:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/
BWP Minify:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bwp-minify/
BWP Minify works very well still, I don’t think you have to worry too much about the update frequency.
Best regards,
Rikard
