• Hello,

    Trying to figure out why a site from a client is running slow

    Things I tried:
    Plugins: JCH Optimize, WP Super cache, WP Image smush.
    Increasing PHP ram.
    Disabling all images
    Disabling the child theme
    Talking to my web provider

    Cant figure out whats going on.
    The site: www.cowfunding.se
    (Note: I have done all this on my test site)

    Anyone got any ideas? I haven’t designed the website myself, seems to be something fundamentally wrong here.

    Any suggestions would be very helpful! Thanks ??

  • Hello dcxs,

    Here you can see your site issue and how to fix it.

    I hope it will work for you.
    you need to Optimize images, Reduce server response time, Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content.

    Thank you!

    But I have run similar task with the Chrome extension Yslow. The plugin JCH Optimize seems the solve most JavaScript problems reported.

    I also tried removing all the images.

    So I guess whats left is to optimize the CSS. Since the other things didnt really solve my issue I guess im doubtful this will.

    But the Google PageSpeed Insights is a good one, will look further into suggestions form it.

    I notice that you are minify your css and js.

    For this issue “Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content” you need to do this:

    Typically this means move the js to the footer.

    Optimize images is the main thing to sppedup your site.

    If you’re on a cheap shared hosting plan, then it’s also possible that you might be having a “noisy neighbor.” So After you’ve tried everything you could think of and it’s still slow, you probably should consider switching to a better server.

    Providers with cheap shared hosting plan (the $5 or $8 USDs a month type) might put anywhere between 500-15000 websites on each of their server. This doesn’t mean customers, of course, just websites (because some people might have multiple websites), and many of which are probably inactive.

    In your case, you’re sharing resources with around 600-1000 other sites. If any of these site suddenly pickup traffic or run something that eats up a lot of resources, then your site would suffer.

    We don’t know for sure, of course, since only the hosting provider have solid numbers and can monitor their server’s resource allocations. But “noisy neighbor” is certainly a possibility there.
