    The GT Metrix reports when you go to the waterfall for our site, the slow load time is because of a missing file at /flashmediaelement.swf This file is located in /wp-content/themes/enfold/js/mediaelement but I’m not sure what it’s for or why the site is looking for it in the wrong place when loading the home page.

    So after some more research, when I minify javascript with any caching plugin is when it can’t find this file in the root folder. With minification off the file is located at /wp-includes/js/mediaelement/flashmediaelement.swf and it finds it correctly. It’s only that file that has issues with the minification though??

    The theme loads this js file /wp-includes/js/mediaelement/wp-mediaelement.js which refers to that swf file

    So if I go into W3 total cache and exclude that one js file /wp-includes/js/mediaelement/wp-mediaelement.js … there are no more 404 errors for the swf file

    But now there are still 3 files in the GT Metrix waterfall that are adding around 2 seconds of load time that are directly related to this script::

    * MediaElement.js
    * HTML5 <video> and <audio> shim and player
    * http://mediaelementjs.com/
    *
    * Creates a JavaScript object that mimics HTML5 MediaElement API
    * for browsers that don’t understand HTML5 or can’t play the provided codec
    * Can play MP4 (H.264), Ogg, WebM, FLV, WMV, WMA, ACC, and MP3
    *

    Hi!

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    I can see the file 404 error in the gmetrix > waterfall chart so I guess the file is not excluded yet. Could you please exclude the file again? We’ll check the gmetrix report afterwards. https://gtmetrix.com/reports/uplandsoftware.com/p6hF5yUg

    Cheers!
    Ismael
