Loading times very slow with Laytheme

ezone · Feb 25, 2020, 7:23 AM

Hey guys,

I finally finished my website and got a handful of comments about the Loarding Times being very slow.

http://www.edgarberg.com

I checked various performance testing sites (google pagespeed insights, gtmetrix etc.) which confirmed it to be true. The loading times are even slower on the mobile version.

According to these sites the slowdown is being created by Laytheme (javascript) itself. I resized all thumbnail images on my index site to 50-80kb per image and the overall page is not that big in data volume, so that factor can be taken out of consideration.

I did not customize the theme at all and used just the simplest way possible in order to create this site. So I am asking you guys if there is any way to speed up the page? Any options I didn't see or plugins that might help?

Apart from the loading times I am very very much happy with everything Laytheme offers.

Thanks a bunch!
Edgar

@ezone

I can really recommend the WP FASTEST CACHE plugin which compressed a lot of these Javascript files to make them load faster. For me it did the job!

Now I am back to 100% happiness ;)

Thanks!!

Okay, somehow it only lasted half day until the tests gave the same results.

So are there any special ways to reduce loading times for laytheme?

Thanks a lot

Dear @koliveros
Do you have any third-party plugins installed or CUSTOM JS code? Is it possible to deactivate it for a moment to see if the problem remains?
Many wishes!

Hey, have a bit of an emergency. I deactivated all plugins and removed all code from <head>
And it seemed slightly faster, but then I did the wordpress upgrade and now it won't show the rest of my site, it only shows the intro portion. Please help, I just applied to a job Im excited about and sent my link through and then I screwed my site up :/

@koliveros Nvm! I updated to the latest laytheme + latest wordpress and all good. The loading time is still an issue tho, I deactivated plugins and removed JS code (except for the one thats doing the parallax effect).

Let me know what I can do to help the load time, ty!

Dear @koliveros
Nice!
Thank you for letting us know!
You can look into some Cache plugins as well.

Best and have a wonderful day!

Cached plugins only help if the guest visits the site a second time correct? So the first time will still be super slow. Is there any chance you could please look at my code and see if there is anything you see as a red flag? Thank you!
