Whole Website slow and just partially loading, especially in Safari

Looking at the page in detail, I have the impression that mainly the subpage relaunch.domaines-berlin.de/restaurant shows that freaky freezing behavior and has problems loading…

EDIT: Try to describe as detailed as possible.
Alright, I pretty much nailed it down now. It is definitely the “tab sections”. The seam to load so crazily lazy that they stop everything else – that’s my laymen’s formulation. If you scroll up and down for a bit on “relaunch.domaines-berlin.de/restaurant” (including tab sections), you realize how the page seems to freeze. Waiting for a couple of minutes, the page was reacting again (buttons, menu hover, clicks). So it’s not exactly frozen.
Just compare “relaunch.domaines-berlin.de/restaurant” and “relaunch.domaines-berlin.de/restaurant-stripped” that I duplicated from “relaunch.domaines-berlin.de/restaurant” and then stipped-off single elements in the layout-builder as a K.O.-method. Comes out in the end: If either tabbed section (food or drinks menu) gets removed, the site is fast-as-fred.
On the other hand, I duplicated the http://relaunch.domaines-berlin.de/restaurant and stipped off everything but the menus in http://relaunch.domaines-berlin.de/restaurant-menus/. See how only those two tabbed sections seem to quasi-freeze the page after you navigate and click through the page for a little while?

Hope that makes it much easier to deal with the problem!

But since the menus are a super important element, what to do now?

Thanks already for your support, Kriesi. It’s much appreciated!

Too many errors maybe?

Hi Victoria,

Thanks for you thorough reply as well as your explanation! I’ll try to stop forum monologues..

I understand that PDF plugins may be pretty memory intensive. But you experience the slowing down of relaunch.domaines-berlin.de/restaurant while scrolling and clicking as well, right? If it would be just the PDFs, why does the “linear menu page” (relaunch.domaines-berlin.de/restaurant-menus-linear) NOT freeze and stays smooth, compared to menus plus tab section (http://relaunch.domaines-berlin.de/restaurant-menus/) that does freeze up. The only difference is really the tab sections, ALL other things equal afaik.

Best,
Hannes

Hi Jordan,

All are checked. All are optimized for speed. Not perfectly though, the page being still in beta without full SEO and optimization. But pingdom (https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/cYdv7n/http://relaunch.domaines-berlin.de).

Also (probably) rebutting Victoria’s guess regarding the memory intensiveness of the PDF rendering: If you look on http://relaunch.domaines-berlin.de/restaurant-stripped/ where I just stripped off the latter tab section, compared to http://relaunch.domaines-berlin.de/restaurant/, the page is not freezing. It also works, if I remove the first of both tab sections but I thought have a better point with showing a smooth page rendering with letting the tab section plus PDF in place..

But you’re both right though, I guess. Looking for a slimmer PDF plugin or opting for an image based solution would improve the general performance of the page.

Anyway that doesn’t solve the page freezing issue with http://relaunch.domaines-berlin.de/restaurant/, caused by the both (!) tab sections.

Hi Ismael,

Thanks for touching base with me! I couldn’t figure out where the white screen of death comes from. Logging in into FTP and temporarily renaming the plugins folder worked fine with accessing the wp-login link in the private content section.

I already tested the version without only the ppdf plugin and it froze nevertheless. But in a version with one tab section less (even with both pdf embedded), it runs smooth, as you see in http://relaunch.domaines-berlin.de/restaurant-stripped/. If you should have further problems with logging in, I’ll be happy to help out!

Best,
Hannes

Hi Ismael,

yeah it’s right. We had to launch alraedy to domaines-berlin.de. But everything else is the same!

Strange… I can access it. Do you get a white screen?

Sorry for this oong delay, I was AFK for a while… I get this login white screen from time to time as well. But if you try

http://domaines-berlin.de/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fdomaines-berlin.de%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

it should work. It does for me at least.

Thanks for your perseverance… :)

Yeah, that sounds familiar! And cool, it works! Is that a modification I better incorporate into the child theme? How to not lose it after the next Enfold update? Or is that going to be resolved later on?

Best an huuuge thanks to you and the great ★★★★★-support team!
