Low Speed Index (GSC) since Update

    Hi,

    I am using your plugin since I began my blog in 2021. And I didnt changed the plugins I used in that time. All was fine everytime.

    But unfortunatly since the last update I have an problem with the speed index on mobile devices. Google gives me an Speed index of 4.5s and before the update I had 2-2.5s and a good result. On desktop all is fine I get everywhere green results in maximum 0.5s.

    I tested changing the options I am using (which had good results since 2021 as I wrote). But I couldnt get it better.

    It seems that something makes the website not loading fast. I have no big images, all is compressed and sized down. Further there are no images above the fold in the content. Only little images for the header. The content is mainly text above the fold.

    I am minifying CSS, Javascript and Caching the website (every 24 hours because I am using adrotate plugin for different ads). But google tells me the LPC is not good, and it is mainly text. Hmm? And than I always get the information rendering is blocked by the minified css (header).

    I tried to go to the minifying option of CSS and exclude /wp-content/cache/wpo-minify/* folder. First I tried to exclude the mentioned files. But every day the cache is refreshed the filenames are different. But that didnt helped.

    For mee it seems that my blog can not load the minified css as fast, so that it blocks rendering and delivering the content.

    Do you have any idea what I can further do?

    Kind Regards

    @vupdraft , @wpmansour yes all my servers can handle http/2.

    I tested further now and couldnt solve the results shown. On my way finding the issue I tried to change some layout options (only a few menue links, no images in the header, no fancy fonts – instead systemfonts, local hosted, and I deleted the few third party request I used before). For this I used my notebook because its better to see on it. And I tested after that with my notebook in pagespeed insights. Same results in firefox, chrome, opera as well: After clearing the cache for some time I get best results! Some minutes later the performance is bad and stays so.

    Now I upgraded one server to the best possible option. Same here, nothing changed. My provider told me the performance of this Server is great. The only option to get more performance would be an server which would cost 200 Euro/month. Sorry that is no option for me for testing it ??

    I have no Idea what to do next. The support for neve theme said that its nothing on the theme code. There on all test instances best results in speed. And Neve Pro is super light. Indeed: As Google shows me, the complete website has only 100kb on the homesite. Little bit more on /blog/ because of some images (not above the fold), but with 200kb a very good result. Singe posts have around 120-150kb. Nothing which should cause an problem, even not for older mobile devices, isnt it? By the way google tells me server response within 30-50ms.

    Any ideas what to do now?

    For your Information: First I deactivated all Minification or Merging (HTML as well) and now I deactivated WP Optimize completely for additional troubleshooting. Without the active Plugin I had the same problems with SpeedIndex stayed at 4.5s.

    Google mentioned rendering blocking css and js, but indeed it was the third party code of VGWort (1×1 pixel image which is used for tracking purpose). After deactivating WP Optimize and deleting all caches I tried again, with the same problem. Without the picture of VGWort I had good results. (1.6s) Directly and 30 Minutes later too. Thank you for your help, I will contact VGWort and look what I can do now.
