    Hi there,
    My client isn’t happy with the Enfold’s site speed. The issues that are in need of addressing are the following:
    Make fewer HTTP requests
    Remove query strings from static resources
    Defer parsing of Javascript
    Optimize images

    Any idea how I would go about tackling these issues?

    Hey web4698,

    These tricks should help you.

    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.

    Best regards,

    Hello John

    I have some questions about this tricks:

    – its ok to use only wp-smushit to optimize images?
    – did you know about the wp-smushit pro version works really better?
    – Is necesary to BWP minify plugin after first use leave active ? did you know about any issues using BWP and google Calendar? and with WPML Multilingual CMS ?
    – Did you know about any good video or nice manual to setup Cloudflare ?

    Thanks a lot.
    Best Regards

    Hi,

    1. I think the most effective way to optimise images would be to use a desktop version before you upload your image, though I’m not 100% sure of this.

    2. I don’t know, what are they claiming you get with the PRO version?

    3. Every site is different so there are not right or wrong for all sites, I think you will have to try what works on your site.

    4. There should be plenty of resources describing this online, did you try searching for a guide?

    Best regards,
    Rikard
