site performance.

  • Hi,

    I wish to improve site performance.

    1)I read about replacing dynamic resources that are not indispensables, for static ones, in header and footer, improving load time with less calls to de DB.
    There was an example, but human header is coded different, and I don’t know what to change and what html put in that place. What could be the dawn side of doing this?

    2) I’m using w3 total cache, some body could suggest what should be the best configuration for human theme. I loos the styles with the minifying part of the w3 total cache in other theme.

    Thank’s in advance

  • Hi arlinaite.

    1) Here’s some information from the theme documentation:

    Advanced: The dynamic styles will be added directly to the head of your theme. This is according to WordPress best practices, but if you do not want it printed out there, simply inspect the code of your page with the styling options set. Copy the CSS from head into your child theme’s style.css file or this theme’s custom.css (which you need to enable), and disable dynamic styling.

    One downside might be that, if you want to change the dynamic styles, you may need to re-enable them and go through the same process of copying them to your custom css.

    2) I don’t know that there is a “recommended” or “best” configuration for this, or any other, particular theme. There are many posts and articles online discussing how to configure W3TC, or you might check on the W3TC support forum. If you have a specific configuration question you could post that in a separate topic and see if any of the other users here have any input. I don’t use W3TC so can’t provide much advice.

    Hi bdbrown
    Thank’s but
    1)I don’t want an unresponsive site. If those are the only dynamic calls to DB from the header I don’t want to change them.
    2) Some themes have problems with the minifying part, but if:
    “I don’t know that there is a “recommended” or “best” configuration for this, or any other, particular theme. “
    Must be that hueman don’t have this problem.

    1) The best way to evaluate your site is to use one of the online performance test sites. They will run various tests and provide recommendations to improve performance. Here are a couple of the popular sites:

    https://tools.pingdom.com/
    https://www.webpagetest.org/
    https://gtmetrix.com/

    2) Another option is to use a plugin like Autoptimize to do your minimization instead of using the options in W3TC.
