Soliloquy not using CSS Sprite?

    I’m giving Soliloquy Lite v2.5.0.7 a go because it’s marketed as fast (and it is generally working well – thank you) but I was surprised to see my GT Metrix PageSpeed score rated as F because the various Soliloquy control button images used within the plugin are separate and have not been combined into a single CSS sprite. Are there any plans to implement this?

  • Hi @renpub ??

    We are always working on making improvements to the plugin and I will certainly forward this to the dev to make sure they are aware. More than likely, they already have it on the list, but I’ll make sure to send this to them so they are aware of the feedback!

    Is there anything else I can help with?

    That’s it thanks. It’s relatively trivial to implement for a relatively big speed rating win. Customers love benchmarks and when they see an F in theirs I am left to explain to them it’s not a crucial issue.

    I want to add my voice to this request – because I love the plugin except for the way it affects the page-speed insights. And it is difficult to explain this to a client, as renpub says.

    We just replaced a Revolution Slider with a Soliloquy Slider and it is light years faster. We had to drop a few animations, but worth it.

    That being said, to get further performance improvements, the following images do need to be switched out with sprites:

    * /wp-content/plugins/soliloquy/assets/css/images/circle-hover.png
    * /wp-content/plugins/soliloquy/assets/css/images/circle.png
    * /wp-content/plugins/soliloquy/assets/css/images/left.png
    * /wp-content/plugins/soliloquy/assets/css/images/preloader.gif
    * /wp-content/plugins/soliloquy/assets/css/images/right.png

    I thought this might not matter with HTTP/2, but it does:

    Hi @milican ??

    Actually we have this into the developer to complete this task already. There’s not ETA on when it will be but he is aware of it! ??

    Thanks and if we can help with anything else – please don’t hesitate to let us know!

    Have a great day!
