    Can you briefly explain the GENERAL > PERFORMANCE settings in Kadence (free)?

    I found some documentation on your site but it did not explain what “SCROLL TO ID” or why we would want to “ENABLE LIGHTBOX”, “LOAD GOOGLE FONTS LOCALLY” or “ENABLE CSS PRELOAD”. I did some Googling on these items but was not able to determine if they should be on or off so your thoughts on this would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Hi @calgarytech,
    Thanks for reaching out! Good questions! I hope I can help clarify a bit…

    Scroll to ID – this enables a smooth scroll when using anchor links, rather than an abrupt jump.

    Enable lightbox – this is for your images and determines whether or not they open in a lightbox when clicked. Some users prefer to use plugins that have their own lightbox functionality. The ability to turn this feature off keeps the theme lightbox and plugin lightbox from conflicting.

    Load Google Fonts Locally- this essentially means that you have the font files on your own server. Whereas with Google fonts or any other thrid party, you’re only including the fonts by linking to an external asset.

    Enable CSS Preload – this preloads your css and should improve your loading times.

    Hope this is helpful!

    Best,
    Hannah

    A note about preloading css. If you are using an optimization plugin like wp rocket or autoptimize then it’s likely better to leave this off since those plugins will compile your css into new files.

    @britner Please consider adding this comment below the CSS preload checkbox, I did not know it until now, and used to preload the css along with autoptimize
