This is to follow-up on optimizing my page speed results.
After hiring someone at Codeable to fix the issue with eliminating render-blocking resources, we found that by replacing the current caching plugins (Comet Cache) and WP Performance Score Booster with WP Fastest Cache, it made a very big difference. I have done this with three of my Enfold sites now. I have gone from GTMetrix “E” score to “B” on my site. And on the other 2 sites, from “D” and “C” to “A” scores.
For my site it was more complicated so I had to use the Premium version of the WP Fastest Cache plugin. But the standard, free, version did fine for the others.

I am wondering why Enfold has not made this caching plugin a priority. If there is some known issue with it with regards to Enfold, I’d like to know about it. Otherwise, this was a great help.

Hi again.
I tried WP Rocket, but no discernable difference between it and Comet Cache or WP Super Cache.

Of the 7 Enfold sites that I manage, 2 have B scores (via GTMextrix), and the rest have D or E. Not long ago, all my sites had B or A. So, I do need to resolve this.

Is there someone who could look over the settings to see if we can get one of the sites up to at least a B level? (From there, I can follow the lead and apply to my other Enfold sites.) If that is not possible, is there someone out there you can recommend?

I’ve been using Enfold almost exclusively for about 10 years now. Only recently has the page speed been such an issue.

Thanks for your time and ideas.

Hi Victoria. Thanks for the advice. I went into the WP Super Cache plugin settings (which is recommended by Enfold) and could not locate an option to “eliminate render blocking resources”. I Googled how to do this, but could not find a solution within this plugin. (I did see recommendations for WP Rocket.) But before changing cache plugins, I thought I would check with your team first.

Interesting fix. Thank you. The site is now up.
I’m wondering where the problem lies. I had replaced the theme with a fresh version (straight from Code Canyon) and one would think that this would have repaired the problem.

Did you add that code into the parent’s function.php file or the Child’s?

Thanks again.

Hi Nikko. That wp-config script didn’t work. And I don’t know how to correct database files. I think what I’ll do is reload the website with the most recent working version and then incrementally update from there.

Hi Rikard,
Thanks for the quick response. However, that plugin suggestion didn’t work. I tried it at the Legacy setting you recommended, but no change.

thanks Ismael. I have yet to reproduce the problem on other mobile phones, so the issue may be moot now. I was just thinking that to make absolutely sure the images will show that there is a CSS i could use such as: visibility: visible !important;

If you have a suggestion for one, that would be perfect.

I had had it set on disable. This was due to my having problems editing my external style sheet in enfold-child. Perhaps it was a procedural issue that I was creating?
So if I enable compression, when I need to make edits to my external style sheets do I simply change compression to “disable”? Make my style edits, then return compression to enabled?

Great, thanks Ismael.

that worked! thanks.

Nevermind. After a day of clearing old files and caches, it’s now working.
