Async and tiled mosaic galleries in posts

  • Hello,

    Async yields the highest results. However, I find that sometimes when my page is loaded, the tiled mosaic images (via Jetpack I think) are not always scaled. This occurs whether I use jQuery excluded or not. I test this by refreshing the page over and over as sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. It happens in Chrome, Firefox and IE. I haven’t tried any other browsers. Sometimes the problem is only on the first “fresh” load of a page and doesn’t appear on refresh.

    I have tried async with jQuery method set to Async, Defer and Exclude all with the same results.

    Defer with jsQuery set to defer appears to work ok. Defer with async doesn’t. However with defer, the results are 75% whereas with Async with jsQuery set to Async/Defer/Excluded it is 95% (or thereabouts).

    Without your plugin enabled my scores are 74% so the only speed improvement seems to be with Async but that affects the tiled mosaic posts.

    I have tried to exclude Jetpack but the problem remains. I’d obviously like to have 95% scores but not at the loss of page quality. Do you have any ideas how I could resolve this please?

    I have added a link to my page. The problem occurs on the home page. The third post (the one on the right) of the Hy-Score 800C will show the problem.

    Many thanks,
    Jimmie

    Defer with jQuery set to defer appears to work ok.

    This should be a great option for speed I’m surprised it isn’t the fastest for you. I can tell you personally that I’ve abandoned masonry layouts on my sites because of performance issues like this.

    Question:
    Do you use any lazy loading plugins?

    Question:
    I’m seeing a lot of console errors on your site do those still occur when you disable Async JavaScript?

    Thanks for the reply. I don’t use lazy loading. I do use infinity scrolling though.

    Console errors? I wouldn’t know what they are. Still a bit new to all of this. Where would I look for console errors please?

    Some more info… I had infinity scrolling enabled. Turning it off I can switch to Async/Async and it runs fine with very high scores. I’d prefer to keep the infinity scrolling but I guess I will live without it for the higher score.

    I spoke too soon. Checked in on the site this morning and the problem was still there. So it’s not infinity scrolling either.

    ?? Interesting, It looks like a lot of your performance problems are related to Pinterest or something called wpLikes. Also try installing https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/autoptimize/ by the same author as this plugin and combine and minify your css.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Those Pinterest and the like are social media “like” counters. I assume as they are can be different for each post shared that you can’t optimize those.

    Thanks for the heads up on the console errors. They are related to the Jetpack infinity scroll feature. Not a lot I can do about that unless I turn it off.
