    Hi,

    I would deactivate your plugins temporarily and then run the test again to see if a plugin might not be causing the issue.

    Hi,

    These are the things that you can do to optimize the website speed and page load courtesy of the WordPress community:

    1. Optimize all images with AI/Photoshop before uploading to server ‘save as web safe’ jpg
    2. Once all images are uploaded on the website, optimize with www 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.
    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.

    THANK YOU!

    I will try each one of those.

    Also, my server is offering this service at an extra cost – https://mediatemple.net/services/truespeed-cdn/

    do you think its worth it to purchase that?

    #762826

    Hi,

    If the investment is worth it for your business, I would say its good to look into. If you are not happy with service you could always cancel.

    Thanks

    One more thing

    I am looking at my GT metrix results and one example is the following. It says

    http://wsmsnyc.org/home/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/support08.jpg is resized in HTML or CSS from 1000×895 to 434×389. Serving a scaled image could save 614.6KiB (81% reduction).

    It is basically telling me to make my image dimension smaller. The reason I made them that large in dimension is because on responsive devices especially tablet they stack ontop of each other and 434×389 looks cut off (no good). Did I do the right thing by keeping the dimension at 1000×895 or do you have another suggestion?

    #763345

    Hi,

    That is simply a suggestion that could help you save a small amount of space. If you actually NEED the image to be that yard then you can, and perhaps look to make reductions elsewhere. You don’t have to follow all of the suggestions.

    Hi,

    If it is just that single file perhaps you can run it through here:

    http://www.cssportal.com/css-optimize/

    You are only linking to the file and don’t have access to the actual file code we may not be able to do much to assist with the error as it is an outside file.
