    You are correct, my fix is global, and it works by getting rid of the .gif file.

    @creativechris

    Please note that like Mr. Rajan kindly highlighted, the fix I provided would remove the grey background from all of your pages. If you’d like to keep the background but just fix the incorrect order on that particular page, then Mr. Rajan’s fix is a lot more appropriate.

    Hello @creativechris

    Your problem is a background image being loaded in the CSS for the “body” element

    The following is the CSS for that element from your page

    
body {
    background: #f5f5f5 url(images/main_bg.gif) top center repeat-x;
    color: #494949;
    font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 13px;
}

    If you want to remove the grey background box, you have to delete

    url(images/main_bg.gif) top center repeat-x

    Just make sure that you keep the : at the end of the line

    The end result should look like this:

    
body {
    background: #f5f5f5;
    color: #494949;
    font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 13px;
}

    @snowbelly

    That’s very good news!

    I am glad you figured it out ??

    @snowbelly

    Thank you for the update,

    Next, I would suggest that you take a look at the sever log.

    Hello @donniezazen

    The short answer is no

    The themes on WP.com are released by the staff @ WP.com

    You cannot upload / edit themes beyond what is available in the default WP.com customization menus.

    Hello @dante8399

    Please verify that the cause is not a typo?

    The height of the old image is 621px

    The height of the updated image is 261px

    I suspect a typo?

    Hello @snowbelly

    To rule out file integrity, please re-upload the wp-includes and wp-admin folders from your latest working backup via FTP.

    Your website data will not be affected – unless you saved something in those folders which is unlikely.

    You’re Welcome and good luck

    1- Noted on the redirect

    2- You reduce the number of requests by reducing the number of times on a page ( 1 image file = 1 request / 1 font file = 1 request / 1 CSS file =1 Request) So, try to reduce the things you don’t really need and combine the rest into as few items as you can.

    3- You’re Welcome.

    4- Start with removing any plugins you don’t really need. After that you can try to remove any layout js or replace the ones you can with CSS layout instead, Like CSS menus…etc
    After that you will have fewer js files and then you can just inline them in HTML instead of having them as separate files.

    @matingholami

    Gtmetrix is actually correct. Your page loads in about 4 seconds for me.

    Try clearing local cache in your browser.

    Hello @matingholami

    1- You URL has a redirect. Redirects affect performance and it’s good practice to avoid them whenever possible.

    2- You have a total of 66 requests. This means that for your page to load, a browser has to download 66 separate items.

    3- You have multiple CSS files. it’s good practice to join up all of your CSS into one file. IT’s even better if you reduce all the CSS to the bare minimum and then just add it all inline at near the very top of your <head> section.

    4- You have almost 20 separate Java scripts files on the page. Think of theses as tiny programs that you are asking every visitor to download. Downloading 20 separate scripts causes a delay because for the most part, when a browser encounters a script, it stops downloading the rest of the page until the script is executed. – if you want even more performance gain, eliminate all the js files you don’t need, then combine the ones you have left, then add all of them to the footer of the page. That way, the page will load everything, and then the browser will worry about js when the visitor is busy enjoying your content.

    Hope this helps.

    Hello @jennmccoy

    This is really none of my business, however, I would seriously advise against hosting your own videos.

    it’s much better to upload the video to a video uploading service such as Youtube and then embed the video on your webpage.

    It will make your page load faster and tremendously reduce the load on your server.

    Hello @ofzoe

    The problem you’re having is because you most likely had a regular http website and then you upgraded to https (cloudflare?)

    When you do that, all the of attachments are still linked with http links, in order to fix that there a fewthings you can do,

    1- Turn on Automatic HTTPS Rewrites Under the Crypto tab in Cloudflare settings ; or

    2- Manualy edit the links and change http to https ; or

    3- Install a plugin to fix mixed content.

    Hope this works.

    Hello @geonomist

    1 – Check out the following from Moz.com

    Meta descriptions are HTML attributes that provide concise explanations of the contents of web pages. Meta descriptions are commonly used on search engine result pages (SERPs) to display preview snippets for a given page.

    In a nutshell, you put the description you want google to display under your website’s name when people see it in search results.

    Here’s a link to the rest the MOZ article on Meta Description.

    —–

    2- To specify a specific description tag for each page you need to add the following “tag” to the header of that page:

    <meta name="description" content="you put your description stuff here">

    There are two ways to add a tag like this and have it be page specific, you can either do it manually – which is a bunch of work and is really an inefficient way of doing it if you have many pages – or you can use a plugin.

    When it comes to plugins, there are two types you can use in this case,

    1- SEO specific: Like Yoast SEO

    2- General Function Like: Per Page add to Head

    The first one gives you a box which you can fill up under the post text in the editor. Then it generates the tag for the page automatically

    The second one just gives you an empty box in the same location – within the post editor – and you can put anything in there. It will not modify your input in any way shape or form. So you have to put the tag in the correct format for it to function. This means you have to put something like this

    <meta name="description" content="you put your description stuff here">

    Hope that helps.

    Hello again @grzesiekg

    It looks like the issue comes from a script that your website loads from a “suspicious” website.

    The script loads from the following website

    h t t p : //b u i l d a d v i c e . c o m

    The location of the script is at the bottom of the <head> section right before the </head> tag.

    ***(The internet is full of tutorials on how to do this if you read the text below and cannot understand or cannot follow – I am not very good at explaining things but I will try )**

    From the admin panel, Select Appearance >> Editor >>

    Then you need to look at the right hand side panel. The files you see are some the ones WordPress uses to construct your pages.

    Now the file you want to look at is called (head.php)

    Open that file and search (using Control + F)

    The term you want to search for is ” </head> ” without quote marks

    once you find </head> look above it and see if you can find a <script> tag that contains anything similar to this

    <script> src=” h t t p ://b u i l d a d v i c e . c o m / g e t i n f o q l c t 5 7 / h e a d / x m x b q k w l . p h p ? i d = 1 1 5 9 4 4 3 ” > </script>

    If you find it, don’t do anything… just leave it and post an update here so we can determine the next step.
