Hi Ismael,
Thank you for the reply!
We had taken most of the suggested steps already prior to getting PageSpeed scores around 70, two months ago. This is what’s so confusing.
We will look into the redirects again.
But aside from that, we’re still puzzled what has changed to lower our scores so dramatically:
– Server and server config remain the same.
– Enfold remains the same (though updated a few times).
– Plugins mostly the same. More importantly we have tested deactivating all of them (also one at a time)…no effect on PageSpeed.We find GTMetrix and WebPageTest useful for troubleshooting, but we won’t sleep well unless PageSpeed scores are above 50 again :)
One small request for you in the Private Content.
Dave
Thanks Yigit.
Yes, I am using Yoast, and I had already executed all steps in the post you shared.
I don’t see these category pages in Google results.
However, Ahrefs detects them and gives me a warning about duplicate content.
Which is why I posted the question.What do you recommend in this situation?
Kind regards,
DaveHi Rikard,
Thanks for the response!
We use categories for a number of purposes, so we would like to keep them.
However the category pages are not useful to us, so we’d like to prevent users and search engines from accessing them.
Is there not some possible modification of code to achieve this?
Kind regards,
DHi Ismael,
The bug involves column layout elements only. There were no columns on your test page.
I’ve updated the test page with a 3-column layout.
So far I haven’t been able to reproduce the bug on it, but as I mentioned, it only happens once in a while.
(but when it does, it stays around for a while and is very annoying)Thanks
DThanks Guenni007. That is apparently what needs to be done on Apache.
For nginx (mine) here are the instructions:
However my host says this is already enabled on my server. They also say their other testing shows gzip working for the fonts.
So I’m really confused why WebPageTest says it’s not working.
Sorry about that Victoria, correct credentials are below :)
The specific setting where I noticed this bug is when adjusting the padding values in:
Column Settings–>Layout–>Inner Padding
(uncheck Apply To All and try to adjust the padding values)As I said you may have trouble reproducing it because sometimes it happens a lot, and others not at all.
Thanks!
DHi guys,
What about the GitHub repo mentioned by Basilis above?
https://github.com/Basbee/wordpress-extended-content-analysis-yoastThe last commit was Feb 2016, so I am wondering if using this is safe and/or works.
Does anyone have experience using it?
Thanks!
DHi Guys,
I’m having the same problem with Yoast and the Advanced Editor.
Yoast is giving results for its various tests that are clearly not accurate, which indicates it’s not reading the content properly.
I’ve created credentials for you to check it – they are in Private Content.
Thanks!
DThanks Ismael.
Sorry – I remember now that we’d used the excerpt as title in order to have shorter titles in the grid.
Is there any way to have the excerpt linked the way the titles normally are?
Or to have custom titles in the Portfolio Grid (different than the Portfolio Item’s actual title)?
:)
DThanks, Rikard.
Let me make sure I understand you:
1) I still need to the featured image in the “Featured Image” widget right sidebar, so that it appears on my portfolio grid page (which pulls featured image from each Portfolio Item page)
2) I ALSO need to place an Image Element at the top of each Portfolio Item page, so that the image will show up there
I called this a workaround because it’s not the behavior I’d expect from a Portfolio Item page…for example, the regular Page types automatically show the featured image at the top of the page (without adding an additional Image Element).
Additionally, I just discovered that if I remove the sidebar from the Portfolio Item, the Featured Image does appear automatically at the top of the published Portfolio Item.
Thanks for your thoughts on this :)
DHi Jordan,
Thanks for this. I added the final block of code from that post to my child theme’s functions.php:
function my_custom_title_link( $title_link, $entry ) { if( ! empty( $title_link ) ) { return $title_link; } $title_link = get_permalink( $entry->ID ); return $title_link; } add_filter( 'avf_portfolio_title_link', 'my_custom_title_link', 10, 2 );But still the portfolio grid titles aren’t links.
Am I missing something?
Uff, very sorry about that, Rikard. I had given Admin rights, not sure why it reverted to Subscriber. It has been changed to Admin now if you’d like to take a look.
My concern with the workaround you mention is that if I add the featured image separately, I wonder if the page is then actually loading the same image twice, even if it’s only displaying one of the copies.
Is that concern valid?
Sorry about that, Rikard!
I’ve disabled country-level blocking, so you shouldn’t have trouble now.
If Wordfence blocks you again for another reason, let me know and I’ll disable it entirely.
Hey Basilis,
I’ve just chosen the same Google font in the Enfold->General Styling->Fonts in both the “heading font” and “body text” dropdowns.
Thanks!
DHi Nikko,
I see, thanks.
These two logo instances originate from the same image in my Media Library.
They do have slightly different URLs, however. I assume this is what’s causing them to load twice – they wouldn’t load twice if it was the exact same URL, right?
If it is the URL difference, I need to identify which optimization plugins (ShortPixel or Autoptimize) is injecting the height specification (w_300,h_100) into the URL, and see if I can change that behavior.
Thanks
DHey Victoria,
I found out that this isn’t a problem with Enfold or plugins – it was actually the hosting.
WPEngine disables revision history by default on all sites:Thanks anyway! And I hope this thread helps someone with the same issue :)
DHi Basilis,
Yes, we’re using most of the performance features.
Here are our settings:CSS file merging and compression – disabled because we’re using Autoptimize. (I’ve turned off Autoptimize the last couple of days while doing some development)
Javascript file merging and compression – enabled
Disabling of template builder elements – Load only used elements
Self hosted videos and audio features (WP-Mediaelement scripts) – default
Disable external video features – checked
Disable the blog – checked
Disable Emoji/Smiley Support – checked
Disable jQuery Migrate – checked
Load jQuery in your footer – checked
Load google fonts in footer – not checked
Image Optimization – using WP smush plugin
Caching Plugins – using Autoptimize
Delete old CSS and JS files? – not checkedThanks for any help!
DHi Guys!
I’m having the same problem, but I’m afraid to revert to the Classic editor to solve it.
I remember in previous versions of Enfold that toggling between the rich and classic editors would cause me to lose content or mess up formatting in upredictable ways.
Has this problem gone away in the current version?
Thanks!
DHi Rikard,
Thanks for the quick response, and I understand.
Let me rephrase my question slightly. It seems there is redundant functionality between Enfold Performance Features and Autoptimize in terms of merging/compression of CSS and JS.
Could that redundancy cause problems that could affect site functionality or performance? Or would it be harmless?
Thanks!
DEnfold Performance Features:
– File Compression: merging and compression for your CSS and Javascript files
– Change WordPress defaults (Emoji/Smiley, jQuery Migrate, Load jQuery in footer, Load google fonts in footer)
– Delete old CSS and JSAutoptimize:
– Aggregate, minify and cache scripts and styles
– Injects CSS in the page head by default (but can also defer)
– Moves and defers scripts to the footer
– Minifies HTML
– optimize Google Fonts and images
– async non-aggregated JavaScript
– remove WordPress core emoji cruft
