Hi,
Site loading speed is now a major factor regarding SEO. While Enfold does a great job in most aspects, site analysis tools such as gtmetrix.com all complain about the query strings attached to static resources. A site that I am working on gave these errors on GTMetrix:

http://s0.wp.com/wp-content/js/devicepx-jetpack.js?ver=201342which is a lot. Is there any way to correct this please? Mostly it is code version number stuff.
I tried adding a filter
function _remove_script_version( $src ){
$parts = explode( ‘?ver’, $src );
return $parts[0];
}
add_filter( ‘script_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );
add_filter( ‘style_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );to functions.php, but when I did this the header logo went really small and weird.
kind regards,

I am not support but I installed W3 total cache and after configuring it my page speed went up from a D to an A in GTmetrix. I don’t think there is much you can do about the google apis though and some of the other elements in your list are for plugins. Personally when I deactivated plugins and tested Enfold performed excellently with GTmetrix ‘after’ I configured W3 total cache correctly.
Hope that helps.

Hi Andrew,
Many thanks for your reply. I’ve been experimenting with W3 total cache this week to see if using that, in conjunction with MaxCDN, could make a significant difference. I agree that the results are very promising.
It’s ironic that Google, whos own page speed tester complains, along with gtmetrix, about static page query strings and missing image dimensions, has exactly those faults within its own apis. LOL
Guess the ‘net will always be a bunch of dispirate technologies all fighting to play together, due to its very nature. Who’d be a web designer? :)
kindest regards,
PPCHound
Hey!
As mentioned caching plugins are a great way to speed up WordPress. Enfold by itself has a handful of scripts loading in the mix but are still cached. Its only when the version changes that the client then knows to change out the file from a cached version.
But hopefully your W3 settings are now good and have gotten you to the speed you are looking for.
Cheers!
Devin
