Forminator and Gtmetrix

Hi @manuarmand

I hope you’re well today!

I’ve run both these pages through GTMetrix (the homepage) and the test one got F while the online one got E – with not as big difference in various measured factors.

I don’t actually see any Forminator form on the test site (which is getting worse score). On the live site, I see one on homepage and it doesn’t look to complex.

To make sure then: it’s not about the form itself but you have to disable entire plugin to get better score, right?

The major issue reported by GTMetrix in both cases seems to be very long server response time and while very complex forms can affect this, the plugin itself – with no form loaded on page or a more “standard” form – shouldn’t be causing any such delays so it seems there might be some “resource issue” happening or a conflict.

Can you please check and let me know:

– what is the PHP version powering your site currently?
– what’s the value of PHP “memory_limit” setting
– and what’s the current value of WordPress “WP_MEMORY_LIMIT”

(you can check it all in “Info” tab on “Tools -> Site Health” page inside your site)

– is there any caching active on site/server?

Kind regards,
Adam

Hi @manuarmand

Thank you for the information,

I checked both sites but as Adam said the difference is from F to E https://gtmetrix.com/compare/OZagmGOo/vFejSxTQ

However, there is a Big TFFB on your website which slow down the website load time, could you please please:

– Double check the performance plugin, make sure the LiteSpeed caching plugin is installed and configured.
– If you don’t use any caching plugin the WPMU DEV Hummingbird can help https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/hummingbird-performance/
– Go to Forminator > Form > Behaviour and make sure it is not set to “Prevent page caching” if so, disable this option but enable the Load from Ajax instead.

https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#behavior-forms

Let us know the result you got.

Fantastic !
I have followed your last advice (Go to Forminator > Form > Behaviour and make sure it is not set to “Prevent page caching” if so, disable this option but enable the Load from Ajax instead.) and I have a beautifull B now :))))
Thank you so much for your great work.
Would you have a documentation with the best settings for Forminator ?
Have a great day !

Hello @manuarmand !

Great to hear that! ??

Would you have a documentation with the best settings for Forminator ?

We don’t have a specific article in this case as there’s really no single correct answer here – it all depends on the specific site/server/theme/other plugins installed on the site etc. Quite a few variables.

We do have extensive documentation on Forminator as shared by my colleague earlier.

Warm regards,
Pawel

Hello @manuarmand ,

We haven’t heard from you for several days now, so it looks like you don’t have more questions for us.

Feel free to re-open this ticket if needed.

Kind regards
Kasia
