    To Whom It May Concern,

    Would appreciate your help as my website is loading very slowly.

    This is unlikely due to the hosting as I have other websites running perfectly fine.

    Kindly assess & advise.

    Best Regards,
    Alvin

    Hey ethanalvin!

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    The site loads fine when I checked it but testing the site on speed test tool shows that you need to compresses some of the images. Usually minimizing the image file sizes and number of plugins that you install will greatly improve the performance. These are the things that you can do to optimize the website speed and page load courtesy of the wordpress community:

    1. Optimize all images with AI/Photoshop before uploading to server ‘save as web safe’ jpg
    2. Once all images are on the website optimize with ewww optimizer plugin twice 1hr 10mins apart.
    3. Install wp-smushit run once to remove jpeg extra data, then uninstall.
    4. Use BWP minify plugin to minify scripts and stylesheets.
    5. Install WP-Super cache, select all recommended settings.
    6. Logout your website, visit every page at least once to create super cache files.
    7. Join Cloudflare setup your website on their CDN, Choose options: Full CDN Optimisation save then activate purge files. once done log out.
    8. Have a cup of coffee.
    9. Visit your site after 20 minutes or so.
    10. Don’t forget to smile.

    Cheers!

    Hi Ismael,

    Apologies for the late reply!

    I really appreciate this detailed guide! Thank you so much!

    Could you also advise why is there a “yellow flash (theme color)” whenever I navigate to another page (during page load)?

    Please advise.

    Thanks for all your help!

    Regards,
    Alvin

    Hey!

    Mind providing a screenshot of the issue? Try changing the background color of the html document:

    html {
background-color: #ffffff;
}

    Cheers!

    Hey Ismael,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Haha it’s pretty hard to capture the yellow flashes.
    Hmmm it seems that the flashes come out at random.
    Alright I’ll try changing the background color & let you know if the problem still persists.

    Thanks for all your help!

    Best Regards,
    Alvin

    Hey!

    The code Ismael posted should work. You can also try adding !important rule to force it

    html {
background-color: #ffffff !important;
}

    Please try it and then let us know

    Cheers!
