    Hello,

    Our frontpage has quite a number of things to load. I tried to optimize all images, still CSS-performance is not good and the loading time extremely long.

    Thank you for any help!
    Kind regards,
    Christa

    Hey CW,
    Please review the test results for your page here
    Are you using a caching plugin, such as WP Fastest Cache ?

    Best regards,

    Hey, Mike,

    Thank you so much! I’m using WP Fastest Cache. Problem is that the frontpage doesn’t load quickly in Firefox which still is pretty much used in our country. Java Script and also CSS are not perfect, other testing systems say. Example below.

    Cheers,
    Christa

    Hi,
    Ok, I also tested in Firefox with caching off, and found your page loaded in about 3.x seconds, the two tests gave about 3.5 seconds, which is pretty good for a site using a slider and page animations.
    Lets take a look at some of the results, the poorest score “Defer parsing of JavaScript” is because they recommend loading the js in the footer, yet the issue is that Enfold needs to load a few js in the header for them to work, most of the js is loaded in the footer as recommended.
    The next one “Optimize images” can be definitely improved on with a plugin such as EWWW Image Optimizer The tool will offer to do them all for you, but I recommend just doing the 4 on your report to start so you can save your credits for the future.
    Those are the only two results below a “B” the next one “Minify JavaScript” is one you should not try to change, Minifying JavaScript into one file will brake some of the scripts, most of the scripts are minifyed individually.
    Once your site is finished and not on a testing server, your next step to a faster site would be to use a CDN, please see this article.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Thank you so much, Mike. I did the pictures via WP Fastest Cache Premium, results are B now. That’s good enough. I’ll try a CND after moving the site.
