    Hi Kriesi-Team,

    on xxxxxxx we use the layer-Slider on the startup page. But it seems to load for ages.
    Even with Cachify turned on, the side loads itself to death.

    I did reduce the layer to just one Picture and the video to reduce loading time but still for the first load up it takes sometimes more than 23 Seconds. Reload then is available in 2 sec.

    This costs my last hair…

    Any help?

    Best
    Ralf

    Hi rseybold!

    Thank you for using the support forum!

    Usually minimizing, the plugins that you install will greatly improve the performance. I can see that you’re using a lot of plugins like fancy box and meteor slides. These are the things that you can do to optimize the website speed and page load. You can do the following:

    1. Optimize all images with AI/Photoshop before uploading to server ‘save as web safe’ jpg
    2. Once all images are on the website optimize with ewww optimizer plugin twice 1hr 10mins apart.
    3. Install wp-smushit run once to remove jpeg extra data, then uninstall.
    4. Use BWP minify plugin to minify scripts and stylesheets.
    5. Install WP-Super cache, select all recommended settings, use memcache option, update .htaccess rules, increase cache to 840000, Save then delete cache.
    6. Logout your website, visit every page at least once to create super cache files.
    7. Join Cloudflare setup your website on their CDN, Choose options: Full CDN Optimisation save then activate purge files. once done log out.
    8. Have a cup of coffee.
    9. Visit your site after 20 minutes or so.
    10. Don’t forget to smile

    Cheers!

    Hi Ismael,

    thanks for help. I tried all of these and then found out, that the main problem is, that the webspace is regulatet to a very low maximum of paralel requests.

    Also I have put on Cachify and I turned on APC as Caching Method.

    So I found out to edit the .htaccess as shown below.

    Please publish, so other people can solve that problem the same way

    ### SEYBOLD.DE UPDATES ################
    ### Do not edit below
    ###
    <IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
    StartServers 150
    MinSpareServers 150
    MaxSpareServers 300
    MaxClients 1000
    MaxRequestsPerChild 112500
    </IfModule>
    ###
    ### Ende

    All these things together moved the page from a loading time of >30sec to <5sec

    Hi!

    Thanks for posting what worked for you! Not all hosts allow for the same settings in the htaccess but for those that do I hope this helps them :)

    Best regards,

    rseybold, that’s a great reduction in time. Superb. Can i ask where did you find such information as Devin said not all hosts allow the same settings. Means, these codes may not that much famous over internet and not suggestive in general for all. By the way great work, Cheers. :)

    Can anybody explain what each of the below lines individually stands for and how they correlates, if they are being allowed on my server, i would like to try to use these too-

    <IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
    StartServers 150
    MinSpareServers 150
    MaxSpareServers 300
    MaxClients 1000
    MaxRequestsPerChild 112500
    </IfModule>

    Thanks

    Hi!

    The only place to get an answer definitively would be your hosting provider. You can read up on htacess specs here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/htaccess.html or possibly http://www.htaccesstools.com/

    Some Hosters by default limit the number of parallel processes. That means that the huge loading time is because one script waits for the other to be finished.

    Especially big hosters offer cheap vhosts. They limit bandwidth to get people buy the more expensive dedicated servers,. imho.

    The script above just sets the number of parallel processes that apache could handle higher.

    If this does not work out, you could always check with your hosting provider and tell them that you need:

    * more parallel processes in Apache
    * Advanced PHP Cache (APC)

    Then you should install cachify which is imho the best caching plugin for wordpress…

    If you are not at a masshoster that offers everything cheap, you always could contact your hosting provider. The little bit more expensive providers will optimize your Webserver on your wishes.

    If you have any troubles, change your provider. There are so many great providers to find at webhostlist.
