• Hey everyone!

    I get this when i test my website at gtmetrix.com

    RECOMMENDATION GRADE TYPE PRIORITY
    Make fewer HTTP requests F (0) Content High

    Compress components with gzip F (0) Server High

    Add Expires headers F (23) Server High

    I have been looking everywhere. But I don′t know how to fix this. I have W3 total cache installed. Should I still have theese “problems” when I have that installed? Is there a plugin to fix this? Any code? What to do?

    Many thanks

  • No, install wordpress plugin that does that for you ,as long as you use multisite,see:
    https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/bwp-google-xml-sitemaps/
    else consider, which doesn’t support multi-site, but I guess it has a beta version that does.Check it too:
    https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/

    Have you seen your performance on firebug or not yet?

    I will check the xml plugin in a second.

    I have. But first I want to fix a DNS or CDN. What do you have to say about this?

    They are two different things,
    DNS is Domain Names Server responsible for managing domains.
    CDN is Content Delivery Network, responsible for making parallel downloads, thus reduce loading times.
    The priority is for fixing the DNS issues of course, but am not sure what was the messsage you got.
    Anyway, with firebug open, load your pages, additionally, you can add YSlow and Google Page Speed inside firebug too, serving as a one place for your seo effors.
    Forgive me, Mr.Bennet, if I am not answering your promptly, that’s because am too busy,but will make my best to answer all your inquiries.
    Good luck.
    Regards

    1. So a DNS is not interesting atm for me?

    2. I think I will go and get this CDN: https://www.maxcdn.com
    It works with w3 total cache and good with wordpress.

    3. What do we hope to achieve with firebug? At the moment i′m most interested in google, and I have a page speed of 94-96%. And Yslow is not interesting atm.

    4. Can I make the social buttoms to load faster?

    I appreciate every second that you help me. No worries!

    You seem to have gzip disabled for javascript files. You can force it by adding this line into .htaccess:
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript

    Also you have a logo image being scaled down in the browser. It’s better if you resize the image itself to the same size as you use it in the theme.

    It must boost your YSlow rating quite alot.

    Yes, it works with them all, but maxcdn is quite expensive, check out rackspace, there are very well known. You have another good and free option that’s,you can do it, on a sub-domain of yours for free, all you have to do is create for example, a sub domain like media.tr?nasmart.se in your cpanel, and add this sub-domain as your cdn in the w3tc settings, try it and save your money, the difference will be in milliseconds that the humans don’t notice. It will do the same function, it’s written in the help FAQ of w3tc.
    Regards.

    No, please tell me what was the DNS suggestion to you, DNS is very important. In the meanwhile, just because i like active and persistent people. Check this out:
    https://tools.dynamicdrive.com/imageoptimizer/index.php
    This website optimizes your images before you upload them to your library without substantial sacrifice of quality.try it out, i use it with every image i publish, it’s easy you submit an image, the website compresses and optimizes it, and then you download the new optimized, and then upload it to your website, it’s available as a software to download for free, where you can optimize complete folders in an instant.

    “triamazikamno”

    I have added the code. Is that all that had to be done?

    Also you have a logo image being scaled down in the browser. It’s better if you resize the image itself to the same size as you use it in the theme.

    I have done nothing to this. I noticed that the size was wierd when i tried to add it. Where does this change?

    The code didn’t seem to work. Can you post your .htaccess?

    Regarding the logo, just resize the image to 458×155 and specify ‘width=”458″ height=”155″‘ in the <img tag>

    To: Nihad Nagi

    I have done a subdomain called Media.tr?nasmart.se

    “How do I use an Origin Pull (Mirror) CDN?”

    Is it this question in the FAQ that I should follow to make it as my CDN?

    I have been using smush.it. Is https://tools.dynamicdrive.com/imageoptimizer/index.php better?

    [.htaccess file moderated as per the Forum Rules. The maximum number of lines of code that you can post in these forums is ten lines. Please use the pastebin]

    And now to the logo. What about this:

    <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $get_logo_image; ?>" width="440" height="155" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" class="logoimg" /></a>

    Is that good?

    No, you have to actually resize the image itself first. Use any image editor

    And now to a <h1> and <h2> title question.

    Is it best to have the first title in <h1> and the rest in <h2>, and the subtitle to the <h2> in <h3>, <h4>… etc? Or is it best to have everyone in <h1> and than subtitle in <h2>?
