Our site is loading slowly for some reason. The only thing that has changed is we have updated to the latest version of WordPress. Please help.
Hey tmsgraphics4698!
Can we see the site live and get a bit more detail on what exactly is loading slowly, any plugins you have installed and running and if anything has changed server side or in WordPress besides updating.
Cheers!
DevinHi!
Thank you for the link. The website loads fine on my end, considering that I have a very slow internet connection, thanks to my ISP which is giving me headaches every now and then.
There are few 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.I hope that helps. :)
Regards,
Ismael
