    First off, if this question doesn’t belong in this forum, please forgive. When I run GTmetrix on my site one of the items I need to fix is “defer parsing of JavaScript”. I have no idea how to do this. I’m also told to optimize images. One of these images is “scanlines1.png” this is theme specific so how do I optimize it?
    On PageSpeed Insights I’m told to fix “Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content”. I need some kind of help with this.
    Thanks for your time!

    No worries about the question….perhaps repost it in the regular support forums. But, while I am here, the scanlines1.png should not require optimizing as the image is very very small, like 2px by 2px in size. But the derring of javascript can be done by using plugins. Word of caution though, sometimes some scripts need to run at the top of the page and some scripts cannot be combined into one file. Depends on many factors so you will need to explore what works.

    There are a lot of tutorials online and posts in the forums at WordPres, so what you can do is search with this keyword group:

    “defer javascript wordpress”

    An error error I had been constantly seeing at https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/ was as follows:

    Leverage browser caching for the following cacheable resources:

    https://coastestate.net/…t/themes/longevity/images/scanlines1.png (expiration not specified)

    I have been using W3 Total Cache, which per the release notes for version 0.9.5.2 was to address this error. However, it continues even after the update and purging all caches.

    Not to mention, my menu will no longer display on mobile devices, and appears to be missing on smaller displays such as laptops.

    @jksennish….best to post yours as a new topic, as I am sure the forum moderators will catch this. But with regards to the W3 Total Cache, if they were aware of that issue but not fixed, best to take that one to their support. As for the menu disappearing on smaller displays, when you repost your topic, please provide a link to your site and I will check this out.
