Stripped-down installation without some animations

Hey aschlemmer,

Thank you for using Enfold.

Which animations are you trying to disable? These animations just makes up a fraction of the whole css stylesheets and are completely negligible in terms of performance optimization. If that’s what you’re after, you should focus on image optimization, script minification and the overall cache configuration of the site.

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 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, you can also use W3 Total Cache’s minify settings but we use BWP for Enfold.
5. Install W3 Total Cache or 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.
