Tagged: cache, load times
Hi Kriesi,
I heared from my client that “some IT expert” told her that her website using the Enfold Theme and a slider with only one slide loads too slow. He said that he somehow tested her website speed and that it is not the hosting provider but the WordPress Theme and most probably and I quote “The text-animation on the homepage” (testing without login into her site, don’t know how that is possible) – That expert said her site is so slow that Google is probably not indexing her site because Google refuses slow sites.
Well to me that sounds very strange, Her site loads fine with me, but I am no expert in such things, just a designer not developer, but I never had speed problems with WordPress since 2006 and I have never used a caching plugin either. But is there something to “that IT experts” claims?
Can “WP Super Cache” help?

Hi theroyalvideographer!
I have my doubts about that expert … Anyhow I have tested your site and it’s looking/loading fine, some minor improvements like minifying the js/css files might help a little bit ( don’t expect a lot from it ), and that is it, according to the expert extension that google provides https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pagespeed-insights-by-goo/gplegfbjlmmehdoakndmohflojccocli?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon
In case you want to minify the files, you can use the following resource and select the file type accordingly http://refresh-sf.com/yui/
Using wp cache might help a little bit too, so you can give it a try and test it using the tool mentioned above.
