In forum: Virtue ThemeIn reply to: Website Speed Test
July 5, 2015 at 5:01 pm #48027Hey,
So in my experience 95% of site speed comes down to the quality of server you are using. That is the best place to start. If your using a low end, low price hosting then tempering your expectations for what you can get is necessary (although there is certainly things that you can do to help).Also speed test sites like pingdom and google page speed are really helpful but they should still be considered a tool. Run any major site like amazon through them and you will see a pretty low grade. So it’s important to note that the most important figure when checking a site is total load time. That is the think you want to focus on. I’ve seen many situations where I could get a better grade but the actual load time increased.
Now lets looks at your site and go through some suggestions.
Here is what I see: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/eqO1te/stonecircle.ie
First thing is the redirects. Your losing about 1.5 secs do to url redirects from stonecircle.ie to http://mindfulnessmeditationbooks.com/ to http://www.mindfulnessmeditationbooks.com/
So whatever domain you are making the primary that is the one you want to focus on getting your clicks through and that is a good one to do the testing on.
So I updated the pingdom: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/B0L8U/http://www.mindfulnessmeditationbooks.com/
Ok. Now your load time is around 3.9 sec.
Images
Your page size is good 1mb. This is where images come in. We recommend uploading larger images for good quality results in that you don’t want to have a 300×300 image filling a 1200x500px area. It stretches and looks bad. But that doesn’t mean uploading something like a 6000×6000 image.The biggest thing with images is to make sure the image resolution is 72ppi and is a compressed jpeg. The theme will resize most of your images for whats needed so when you upload a 1200x1200px image and it’s used in a 300px space the theme will create an image just for that place. (that is why we say upload larger images) but in the end those images still need to be uploaded as jpgs with the right ppi and image compression.
Your site being 1mb shows that this isn’t an issue. But in places where it makes the biggest differences is like in the revolution or Kadence Slider. Those images are uses as is so you want to make sure you upload the right size for what your doing. When it comes to things like post and galleries the theme does most of the resizing.
Caching
The next important point is caching. WordPress is a php based program of sorts which means it runs on a server and kicks out the html code once it’s ran through all the code. That html is what the browser reads. What caching does is copies that html and saves it so that the next person to view the site can see the html right way without the server having to run all the php code. This can help speed especially on low end servers.In my experience the best plugin I’ve used for this is WP rocket http://wp-rocket.me/ it’s premium though so comes at a cost.
For a great free plugin you can use w3 total cache. The only real downside of this is it’s more complex and harder to get set up perfect but it’s a very powerful plugin. Every server is a little different so there isn’t any perfect do this option but in general I suggest turning on page caching, minify auto, and browser caching. The others are good things to test with but you need to take the time to test with those settings like database caching.
Minify
Next thing is minify the two plugins above do this for you but basically it just means they clump some/all your css files together and some/all your javascript files together so instead of 20 different files you end up with like 5. This can help with page speed.For you I suggest either one of those plugins they would make a big impact on your site.
Now I should go and write a blog post about all this.
Hope that helps,
Ben

July 2, 2015 at 3:07 pm #47811The theme picks up the script. It’s the same script for everyone minus the tracking id, which you inputed. Your set. give it a day or two for caches to clear and data to be added.
BenIn forum: Virtue ThemeIn reply to: Need your help for a few more style changes
Make sure you cache is cleared.
In your custom css try changing this:
.select2-container-multi .select2-choices { background: #252525; }To this:
.select2-container-multi .select2-choices { background: #252525 !important; }I’m not seeing this in your css:
.select2-drop.select2-drop-above.select2-drop-active { border-top: 0; }Did you add it?
As for the arrows, try adding this css:
.select2-container .select2-choice .select2-arrow b { background: #fff; }Hannah

July 1, 2015 at 11:36 pm #47714Lets start with the different size images.. see how this image is not at least 1140px wide: http://www.susielehman.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/red-after.jpg – it’s 900px.
But you have your slider set to 1140px wide. The images need to be at least that wide for the height crop to work.
The second. I’m seeing the site fine on mobile without errors? have you cleared the cache on your mobile device? What device are you using?

In forum: Virtue ThemeJuly 1, 2015 at 1:51 pm #47667I can tell from the output code that you are either editing the theme or using a child theme to edit the theme. For me to trouble shoot you must put the original code back. Once you do clear your cache and post back here.

remove the child theme and clear your w3 total cache.

Hey,
I recommend using this plugin- https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/
I’m not seeing any errors on the backend of your site. Where are you getting the 508 errors? Did you ask your host about that?Hannah
