It appears this is a fairly common issue. I was not able to generate consistent outcomes. I’ll try again with a high level of method to eliminate variables. Being that webp is by all accounts the new standard how likely is it that we will see a revision of theme to accomodate or that Imagify and others might modify something? Maybe it’s neither and it’s hosting environments that need to change? Help me out on that one so I understand whaere that actual issue originates.
It sounds like I might circumvent this by using my Hosts image optimization but, I was unsuccesful seeiing results with that the last time I tried.
Thanks for all your help, I’ve been an Enfold user for 11 years for a reson.I don’t even know how to add custom scripts. How might I approach fixing this? The weird thing is I have another accordion working fine…
Sigh, that would be because I broke it and had to revert to a back-up. Sorry. Try it now, I tested it. Thank you.
Thank you. I had those diabled already on the assumption it was best to let WPRocket handle it?
URL’s below. Thanks again.Each time I hit google speed insights it varies a little. The link you posted showed no delay but, most of the time I check it’s there and it’s always the single biggest factor on the whole site. It is much reduced now but considering it’s footprint history I feel it’s something I’d like to understand. I also wish to convey that knowledge to the person handling my church’s page as it is getting clobbered the exact same way. They are scoring in the 50’s though!
It really seems tied to the transparency somehow. Perhaps not but, that’s my best guess.I still have a render delay of 2360ms and 80% of my LCP. Is it worthwhile to drill into that a little still?
One issue I discovered using Rocket is that delaying js in totality caused the layer slider to only load a white page besides the logo. I was able to exclude Enfold js, not all of it but what looked related to sliders, in the drop down menus of Rocket. There’s a box to white list specific js, I’ll have to research to discover the specific piece to include there.
I don’t seem to be losing the speed gained by having the whole image load. I was concerned the speed gains came from loading a white page.The original issue remains despite being improved. I can’t imagine that little logo WebP file can be sucking up that much time. The distribution of time is mostly allocated to “load delay” so it must be something with scripts not the image itself. Again, if I drop in a non-transparent version, this all goes away, I believe it is the transparency causing the issue.
If it means anything I looked at a friends page and they have a similar issue although their theme is one that uses Elementor so this may be a WP issue and not intrinsic to Enfold?I’m not knocking W3 by any means as its UI is honestly above my pay grade but I switched to WPRocket and my mobile score is up to 91. I still have a 10kb transparent logo taking almost 4kms to load so there’s room for improvement.
I’m concerned about all things but yes, I am currently primarily looking at speed. I use Google page speed insights, pingdom and gift of speed.
I feel like I’m rooting around in the dark with my plugin selection. There are so many things that show up in a feature list that also are in other plugins or the theme itself. I hope to avoid duplication and by extension bloat and conflicts. I am imagining the user base of this forum specifically has insights into what works well with Enfold. Most of the other information I find is generalized and not necessarily applicable to a feature rich theme like Enfold.
I am happy to say that I see no signs that Enfold has any barriers to entering the upper echelons of speed scores or core vitals. Aside from one glaring issue with a particular file type I’m getting high 90’s both on mobile and desktop with some relatively rich content. I’m going to start another thread as that specific issue is a bit of a gremlin I can’t offer an explanation for.
This thread is a more general question of what’s worked well In the past?Appreciate the look. I just finished transferring to a much more competent hosting environment. I’ll see if it persists. The old host was using MySQL v 5.7 still. Perhaps that was the issue as these issues only popped up after updating WP, plug-ins, and theme.
Some of these issues have cleared up after diagnosing some js errors but, I am still feeling that this is not running as it should. Thank you for offering to take a look.
ok I updated to enfold 4.5.3 but, still have the WP held back to 4.9, it’s better but, still not right. Should I go ahead and let wordpress update to the current version now?
Just to be clear I was not aware of the conflict between the theme and the new WP version, by the time I knew it was too late.
I did find a plug in that puts a small call now button in the bottom right when displayed on mobile devices and it works great. Thanks for the code, I’ll play around with that too. I am learning work arounds and the functionality of the theme quickly and am very impressed with the results thus far., Thank you.
Thanks for the reply, I did find an answer under the Enfold category. Icons are created on a difference entities site and may be imported apparently.
