Hi,
I’m using the Layerslider WP full width with 2 sliders using jpeg’s that are only approx 96kb.
When I view the site on the latest browser from Firefox and Chrome it takes up to 45 seconds for the first slider to load.
I have used Enfold for over 20 websites and I have never seen this before.Hey Snerp!
It loaded the slider within 2-3 seconds on my end, maybe it was only something temporary?
Regards,
RikardHello,
I am having the same problem with this website, and am ready to scrap the slider unless you can help me with this. Please check the load time here: http://rusticbest.comActually, also with the masonry gallery here: http://rusticbest.com/store-tour/
Both places take forever to load.Hey!
The images your using are totaling to around 4+ megabytes which is way too big for use on the web. You will need to optimize those by cropping / scaling them to a smaller size.
To further optimize your site I recommend installing a caching plugin such as W3 total cache or WP Supercache. A plugin such as BWP Minify would help with minifying the JS and CSS.
Best regards,
ElliottImages are ok but you havn’t activated gzip compression on your hoster.
It depends on the server from hoster side how you can achieve this – but this will save a lot of server response time!i think you are sitting behind an apache server so try it with htaccess activation
76.1% bandwidth could be saved
some of those caching plugins mentioned above will do that too – and sometimes this is the biggest effect of them :lol:
@shannab – you have images above 2MB Dataamount ! one is 3.5MB
recalculate those images . Take jpg and progressive option for them.
Do not take the highest quality option – high or middle is enough ! I guess that 2000 px width will be enough !
espacially because some are not so sharp (a bit blured even)this will help loading time
edit : oh Elliot mentioned it allready – so try to shrink your images without alterning the dimensions
here is an example for a fullscreen slider
you only see a difference at high contrasts (rider with lance – jpg artefact) but even the 320kb image is good enough for a fast slide.Thanks, I feel silly now. Reducing and cropping the slider images should have been a no brainer, just did it and they pop right up.
As for the additional plug-ins I’ll check into it, too.
Thanks for the quick help.

Well what image processing program do you have?
here you can see your pictures with 200kb and i think there is a marginal quality loss
http://webers-testseite.de/enf02/fullwidth-slider/the image dimensions are one aspect of file size. The other is the compression level. Very often it is better to take a big compression at big images than to take a small picture with less compression.
have a look here: http://kriesi.at/archives/4-key-wordpress-image-optimization-tips
A huge JPEG (inches, not kilobytes) saved at a high compression rate can look better than a smaller image at reduced compression when re-sized for your page.
this is a nice freeware tool if you work behind MacOSX : https://imageoptim.com/
