: slow page speed test on shape 5 wp themes : cspub July 05, 2016, 04:35:37 PM I have mentioned this before but in specific themes. You had asked for examples. The issue, though, isn't just one theme. It appears to be something in the way your code is written.
Since page speed and performance are big issues to good ranking in Google, I try to fix things that come back in test that need to be fixed. i'm using the latest versions of your software. Some of the areas that come back on multiple different test on different sites using different shape 5 themes are: page request - Combine files to minimize the number of HTTP requests your site makes. there are many header request for the various images used in the theme. page speed-images optimized. i optimize the images we add, but the ones for the theme aren't. optimize css, keep script below the fold, render blocking-Remove or defer JavaScript and CSS that interferes with loading above-the-fold content. I like your themes and have had subscription for several years. But with us being dinged by Google on the above issues, I need to reevaluate continuing with subscriptions. Is there a way you can change this in your code? : Re: slow page speed test on shape 5 wp themes : Tristan Rineer July 06, 2016, 01:31:39 PM I forwarded your message to the other developers to get their feedback, below are the replies.
--- I have mentioned this before but in specific themes. You had asked for examples. The issue, though, isn't just one theme. It appears to be something in the way your code is written. Since page speed and performance are big issues to good ranking in Google, I try to fix things that come back in test that need to be fixed. Most of the page performance is due to the server not the theme. We have users that apply the below to their htaccess in Joomla all the time and dramatic results. I don?t know if some of this could be used in WordPress too, I would think so since it?s just htaccess: http://magazine.joomla.org/issues/issue-june-2012/item/787-htaccess-File-That-FREAKIN-Works --- i'm using the latest versions of your software. Some of the areas that come back on multiple different test on different sites using different shape 5 themes are: page request - Combine files to minimize the number of HTTP requests your site makes. there are many header request for the various images used in the theme. Http requests from the theme are for css and js files, there are very few requests to images if any at all; those are called in the css not an http request. It's possible to combine http requests with the compression option. The files have to be separate though or you wouldn?t be able to turn off features like multibox, image scroll, etc. One large file would be very bloated with options that aren?t needed. --- page speed-images optimized. i optimize the images we add, but the ones for the theme aren't. The images that come with themes & templates (which are very few) are optimized for both speed but also aesthetics. You can?t make them too small or they will look pixelated. Most of the images are from the user?s content and that?s on them to optimize. --- optimize css, keep script below the fold, render blocking-Remove or defer JavaScript and CSS that interferes with loading above-the-fold content. Above the "fold" is completely dependent on how the site is set up. It?s just saying that anything that needs javascript effects should show within page view without scrolling. You cannot defer javascript. Javascript has to be loaded in a specific order or it will break. Ie: one javascript call requires a function that was called previously. There?s no way to change that except for combining some of the files through the theme compression. --- Hopefully that information will be helpful. : Re: slow page speed test on shape 5 wp themes : cspub July 06, 2016, 01:38:58 PM thanks for the reply tristan. As far as server, I've got sites on different servers different hosting companies. They are dedicated servers. Same thing.
I can private message you the reports I pull. I've got one site that I'm trying to get the score up so you can see what it is saying. I'm getting basically the same thing on different themes different sites. : Re: slow page speed test on shape 5 wp themes : cspub July 08, 2016, 11:03:22 AM here is example of header request on main page. i've replaced domain name with xx. yes some of the request are for items i added to front but most are from the theme. this was what i was referring too.

Also mentioned above is that the very small number of images used by the theme are fully optimized; almost all of the images you've listed that are from the theme are extremely small as well.
: Re: slow page speed test on shape 5 wp themes : cspub July 11, 2016, 02:10:26 PM i have tried the enable cache compression from within the theme but get error. have tried on different servers at different hosting companies and always the same thing. i will try again
: Re: slow page speed test on shape 5 wp themes : Tristan Rineer July 12, 2016, 08:05:23 AM If you continue having issues with caching, please be as detailed as possible about the errors you are getting; I'll need to know exactly what is happening in order to figure out a way to resolve it.
: Re: slow page speed test on shape 5 wp themes : cspub July 20, 2016, 06:00:20 PM in some other reply to a post you gave what the requirements were on the server for compression to work. something about f something? can you send me those again so i can double check with hosting company.
: Re: slow page speed test on shape 5 wp themes : Tristan Rineer July 21, 2016, 07:14:02 AM PHP file write permissions need to be enabled. The caching feature specifically uses the fopen() and fwrite() functions.
