Det er jeg:-)

Thanks for that useful link, Triblu! Much appreciated!

Israel Olatunji

This links great - very simply and no fancy extra and updated - just what I was looking for:-)

will test it on one of my sites asap.

Thanks for the tip Trish

You're very welcome Mikael,

Think you will grow to depend on it... just like I have. :-)

You're welcome Israel.

Thanks

So far it works on the site I have it on. But when it has not been tested with the newest version of Wordpress, it can potentially lead to problems, and this one has not been updated for quite a while.

Also, with the upcoming release of WP 5.0, I think it is even more important to have plugins that are tested to work with the newest version not to risk something will break.

In general plugins that are not regularly updated can also cause security issues.

I understand that.

Hope you find something else coz it sounds like a really good idea.

Thansk, Mikael.

Thanks Joe.

I have previously looked at some of these but they seemed like they were not quite as light and simple. But I will check again.

Thanks,
Mikael

If I remember correctly Jetpack cannot work at WA hosting. I am also interested in finding one, so going to check those you suggested.

That is good to know Jovo. Thanks. Keep me updated about which plugin you find to be the best, if you test some of them. I will also soon test them and see if I can find a good solution

It's good to know Jovo. But i will test it on my test-site and see if there is way around it. Jetpack is quite heavy plugin by default but you can choose which module to activate.

Thanks

:)Joe

Strange - I have contacted SiteSupport about it now. We will see what they say

Thanks for telling Louisa.

Thanks Xavier

Thanks David. Just strange that it only happens for some images though. That is why I am thinking it might be a glitch.

Maybe I should just try to contact SiteSupport

Yes, do that!
David

Thanks Michael - yes they will probably be fixed

yes that would be great:-)

Greetings to you

try this website
test your website and see

Thanks! I ran the test. It's very thorough. Here is a screenshot of just one of the sections.

Greetings to you

download the super cache plugin
and do delete what your website does not need

Stupid question, but how will I know what it doesn't need? Sorry- this is another thing I am having to learn. I have had quite a few people tell me lately that my site takes forever to load, so I knew something was wrong. Just wasn't sure what.
I'm pretty sure I have images that are way too big as well. All images have been compressed with the EWW plugin but because they were the wrong size when I uploaded them, I am having to go back through and resize and replace all of them.

Greetings to you

enters your website there plugin then
add new plugin
search over super cache writing
and see what is more downloads

Hi Heidi,

I kept pushing support and at the end they managed to help me out with a solution so it became faster.

Seems like the WA SiteSpeed does not always work with Divi but if you get a hold of the right person at support it seems to be possible to fix. At least that was the case for me.

Thank you! I'm going to have to put in a ticket. I installed the WP Super Cache plugin last night for the caching results I am getting and it slowed my site down by 2 more second! I had to delete it.
I know we have the Site Speed here at WA and I have mine on the fastest one so CSS and Javascript shouldn't be an issue.
I am getting a message saying I need to enable compression for divi fonts. I have no idea what that means.
I'm afraid to try to Autoptimize plugin for fear I will make matters worse.
Hopefully site support can help.

there are a few things like this you need to check in the Divi setting yourself. That actually helped me once I found out - just forgot about until you just mentioned it.

In the Divi theme options under the general settings make sure the two options for Minify and combine are enabled.
And also in the theme options go to builder - advanced - and make sure Static CSS file generation is enabled.

See if this will help. If not, you can also ask Divi's support as there might be other things like this you just need to do yourself and their support is very helpful as well

All of those are enabled. This is the response I got from Site Support:

Please note that the PageSpeedInsight score keeps varying throughout the day so you need not to worry about it and it will not affect your website SEO and rankings.

I know my site is super slow and it's a problem. I am getting an F and a D on site speed results. It's not changing at different times of the day.

Have you had to deal with Divi support when they ask you to enable to plugin and let them login? Because it's hosted at WA, it makes it a little more difficult to get support from outside companies. I know I can create a temporary login but it's just not the same as hosting at other places.

It is not at all a problem to get support from Divi on a WA site. If they find it is necessary to log in to your site when you contact them, they have a plugin you need to install and give them temporary access through that. It works fine - I have used that option with Divi myself several times.

Great thanks! Site support just said they made some adjustments and when I did the site test again I went from 3.7 seconds to 7.0 seconds! So that's not good.
I will give Divi a try.

Greetings to you

can you post any photo here
about your problem

Hope it will work out for you Heidi. Sometimes you need to keep insisting with the support here with more technical things like this.

But hopefully Divi will be able to give a few ideas.

Yes, I have found that to be the case. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing Fleeky. Good to hear you are not having problems with it. So ypou have good numbers in google speed test with the WA site speed function enabled?
I am using a few other plugins. You can see them in a comment to Haugland below.

Yes...

Divi has complicated themes
Meaning they are not very compatible with other stuff

It is take or leave

Using their basics is great. And even then...
It conflicts With all in one seo

So in the devi theme you better keep those options off

Go through your devi dashboard and mke sure you do not override existing plugins.best is not to use conflicting options.
That is how i solved in the past...

Elegant themes is very complicated and conflicting

Thank you Bellon

You can also switch to the basic theme and see if your problem persist...

would prefer not changing my site and what I have built there and risk messing that up. So hope I can find another solution. But the speed is also not that slow, but just shows issues with something that WA site speed was supposed to take care of so was hoping to find a solution for that. But thanks for the suggestions

Yes, right.

I do not think it is wa... probably just settings in your theme. Have you tried to set off the speed of wa?

no have not tried to turn off WA site speed.

Will be interesting to see your results. Thanks for testing it.

I have other plugins as well as for example Facebook pixel plugin, cookie notification, wp review and pretty links. Do you know how I can check if any of these plugins interfere - is the only way to deactivate them one at the time and run a speed test or is there a easier way you know of?

Thanks

No hasn't come through for me yet anyway. May be a problem here. On that I'm having issues with Bloom the Aweber plugin from elegant themes. The time stamp on this server is 6 hours out with Awebers and will not allow me to connect to my lists. It was working a while ago but has stopped working and now I can't get back again. Have a ticket in with support here at the minute.

that sounds strange with the Aweber connection. Hope site support can help get that fixed.

So just to make sure I get it right - you are using divi and WA site speed is enabled, and the css and javascript render is not showing up when you test your site speed in google's test tool?

There is no easy way to test plugins other than to remove them one by one. But I don't think the plugins you mention should interfere with hole page rendering.

I have noticed no immediate issues on my site, but I will let it run a day and test from different browsers tomorrow.

As far as I can see on your site you have a CTA and some blurb images that load / doesn't load randomly on Chrome and IE. I find the loading to be totally random, and since they load sometimes the CSS and everything is there, it's just not called properly.

It looks like it's a theme issue in combination with a SiteSpeed issue. Divi is a great theme but it renders code in a different way than many other themes, so it may be possible that the combination is not good.

I did a quick search on Elegant Themes support regarding issues with Divi and managed hosting like WPengine and similar, but I could not find anything. I am not sure what SiteSpeed is built on so it's not that easy to start a support ticket with Elegant Themes, but you could try a general question there regarding Divi and issues with managed hosting.

I know there were issues like this with SiteSpeed when it was in beta at the beginning of this year. Therefore I did not activate it and since I forgot all about the functionality.

Aweber connection fixed, problem was here but guys sorted it for me. Maybe send a ticket could be a change made here.

Thank you very much for the reply and also for the test. Please kep me updated when you have seen how your site works with site speed in a day or so. Really appreciate your help.

Good you got it solved. Problem for me is that site suppport is not willing to look at it and say I should contact the theme provider.

For some reason, I sense that SiteSupport is not too happy about 'heavy' premium themes like Divi.
Open a support ticket with Elegant Themes and see what they have to say.

Ok. I will try that. Thanks again

I hear ya I had to go back to them after elegant themes found no fault with my website and all the plugins had been disabled. Saying that I know the guys were really busy with Black Friday weekend may get a better response now we are over that.

Just spent the evening getting my bloom email forms updated and setting up my list. Hopefully all set up now to start collecting emails again. Let us know how you get on.

If no improvement send me a PM and we will discuss tactics. I'm sure Alan would be able to assist also.

Thanks Mark. Will keep in touch.

My site is rendering OK with SiteSpeed enabled. But numbers are lower on Google than here

Hmm... Interesting. Thanks for keeping me updated.

It is css and javascript render issue google site speed test is showing. An issue on many WP sites, but when WA site speed was first introduced it removed that issue but now it is there again.

I am having this same issues, among other things, and they are enabled in my General settings.
