Enigma theme slowness, even after index.php fix

  • I recently installed Enigma and found it to be just what I needed design-wise, but was surprised to see how sluggish it was. Reviewing the boards I noted some help that the designer supplied some time ago regarding some code that you can place into the theme’s index.php file, and that seemed to help some.

    But the site still loads slowly, and is almost unusable on mobile.

    Has anyone else out there had any more luck speeding things up? I saw one place where someone installed a plugin to assist, but I was trying to limit the additional plugins I am using. One exception is Jetpack’s Photon, which I tried but haven’t honesty seen any impact from.

    I’ve seen mostly good reviews of support, so I emailed the designer, but haven’t heard back yet. Hoping some folks have some tips.

  • Hi..

    Please follow this LINK .

    And set any one font for theme.

    Let’s know further assistance.

    Thanks.

    Okay, I followed the link; but not sure where to specify the one theme font and prevent the others, especially if only for the child theme I’ve set up.
    Also, in the page analysis from pingdom.com there is a long “/css?family=Rock+Salt….” path item that gets a ‘403 Forbidden’ status, which can’t be good…
    (I do want to chiefly use ‘Open Sans’ as the theme font, so don’t need Roboto, Raleway, Courgette.) So do I possibly edit a (non-child-theme) file that could get overwritten by a future theme update?
    Just would like a little more detail on the potential speed increase.
    Thanks,
    Keith

    Hi..

    Please go to Admin Dashboard >> Appearance >> Customize >> Theme Options >> Typography settings.

    Now set only one font for theme.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the advice, but even though I already did this, I still see the fonts loading when I view page source. I’m not using Roboto or Raleway, but they still appear as webfont requests for each page.
    After some pingdom analysis, it seems that each page load comes in at over 1MB, which seems like too much to me. Some optimization must help — and the pages are not that heavy with large images (they are quite compressed).
    Thanks for responding.

    Hi..

    Please remove that font, which are not using in your font link.

    Let’s know further assistance.

    Thanks.
