Website Is Loading Slow

Infact i have created on page rule on cloudflare also which has below options activated on
1. Rocket loader
2. Browser Cache TTL – set for 8 days
3. Cache Level – Cache Everything
4. Edge Cache TTL – 7 Days
5. Cache Deception Armor
6. Origin Cache Control

you have _a lot_ of plugins that serve the same or similar purpose (speeding up a site), which can actually slow your site down.

(1-3 + page rules on cloudflare overlap for page caching/ 1-3 and 5-6 overlap for CSS/ JS optimization)

make some tough choices, deactivate the others and work from that ??

Hey Thanks A lot!

I m little dumb on all this, i will eternally thankful to you if you can suggest more specifically.

Which all plugins should i deactivate and which all settings i should remove from page rule.

I (but I’m biased) would go for AO + a simple page caching plugin (e.g. KeyCDN cache enabler) or (if you’re willing to spend some money) a premium caching plugin such as WP Rocket (see “optimize more”-tab in Autoptimize) + optionally Cloudflare page caching. I have no experience with the latter, but this page might be helpful?

Good luck & have fun optimizing!

You definitely have too many plugins which are slowing down your site and overlap in features. You only need a couple plugins for an optimized site. Caching, and image optimization are important to have plus make sure your host is using compression and your site should be optimized (excluding an optimized theme and fast web host).

The site took about 5 seconds to load the first time I tested but the second time it was closer to 3. Not sure if you made some optimizations while I was testing or something else.

Whats your suggestion @wurpe ?
Which all plugins you recommend me to use (freeones) ?
Please specify.

Also please help me that what should i use to make my mobile responsive and equally fast as desktop users ?

To be honest I haven’t used any of those plugins in such a long time I really can’t recommend which ones are best. I’m sure all of those are good. You can’t go wrong with Autoptimize and WP Super Cache or KeyCDN cache enabler. I’m a huge LSCache fanboy since it does pretty much everything and is super fast but cache only works if your host has LiteSpeed Web Server.

I haven’t heard of any mobile-specific speed optimization (other than having a separate mobile version which is totally unnecessary). CDN, compression, and, caching will help with mobile experience. Using HTTP/2 will help as well. You can try AMP if you have a lot of blog articles.

The same issue happened again, I think there might be some sort of misconfiguration with the cache because it’s not showing the page as cached each time I visit (on and off). This time your site took 11 seconds to load on my first test (https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/065fC/https://www.palbrosinfotainment.ml) second test was quicker but it seemed to use cache on that one. Take a look at the Pingdom test, you can see which files are taking the longest to load plus some other factors to improve.

is there any free plug in for image optimization ?

if you don’t have too many images, then the free tier of shortpixel (100 images/ month) might be enough? if you go via the “optimize more” tab in Autoptimize you even get some extra ??

Tried but my site has more images and its free plan gets exhausted in middle of optimization only. Anything else that you can suggest.

One more thing as per your recommendation which one i should use for caching – WP super cache, Wp fastest cache or W3 total cache

use some others (disabling all but one) that also have a free plan (e.g. the tinypng one is great as well)? B-)

all work, but most people have problems getting W3TC working perfectly (it’s huge). if you use AO then you’ll have to disable minification in W3TC or WPFC if you use. I use WPSC myself (it has no minification).

Thanks A a lot!

There’s one more problem i don’t know what is wrong with my website some times pingdom shows 3 seconds as the load time and some times shows 9 seconds with same settings.

Is there anything that i can do about it?

Whatever i do , google page speed tool show 99 in mobile and keep showing 20/21 in desktop. I am not understanding it, i have tried everything but desktop rating doesn’t improve at all.
