    Support,

    Is there something we can do to eliminate the “blocking” problems that GTMetrix discovered on the website we are developing? (https://wjcousinsandassociates.com/).

    FYI: It is hosted on GoDaddy, with their Sucuri firewall and CDN enabled. We also have WP-Rocket installed.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Mark,

    I’m very sorry for the late reply. All the files which are loaded by the theme are needed, so I’m not sure there’s much to do about them. I do see that you haven’t activated file compression under Enfold->Performance though. If you activate that, then your site should load faster after that.

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Rikard,

    Thanks for the response.

    Hmmm… Turned on the CSS file compression feature, and the website ‘jiggled’ on scrolling.

    Then I turned that off and turned on “Loading Google fonts in the footer.” That actually slowed down the site and gave a worse GTMetrix ‘score (From “B” to “C”).

    Looking at the original GTMetrix report, again, there is a lot of “blocking.” Is there anything else we can do about these?

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for the update. All the resources which are loaded in the theme are needed for it function as it should. If you want to exclude some things, then you do so under Enfold->Performance->Disable Template Builder Elements.

    Best regards,
    Rikard
