Tagged: page load speed, site speed
Short of hiring a more experienced web developer, I have exhausted every effort I have been able to find to speed up my site. I am still having huge page load time issues. I’ve had a couple of developers tell me my main problem is the theme, however, I’ve seen this theme perform well for people… Anyone that can help me figure out this issue? Many thanks in advance!
Hi hikestgeorge!
Please check if the user you created has admin rights. I tried to log in, the log in credentials worked but then I just got the error message “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.”
Best regards,
Peter
Peter,
I’m so sorry for wasting your time! I’ve updated the user account so it has admin rights now. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with! And thank you so much for taking the time to check it out for me!
Thanks,
Tim
Hi,
I checked your website with the query monitor plugin and compared Enfold to the default TwentySeventeen theme – the difference was 0.5s when it came to the loading time. The major part of the loading time is caused by plugins and/or the slow processing of php code which is often a problem with shared hosting. In addition the website size is more than 3,7mb which equals the size of a mp3 audio file (see https://gtmetrix.com/reports/hikestgeorge.com/PVujietH ).
I’d recommend to reduce the number of plugins (if possible) and to reduce the website size (smaller images, reduce the amount of images).
Best regards,
Peter
