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.

February 9, 2016 at 2:23 pm #580403So 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

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!
