I have followed the intructions given here: https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/better-wordpress-minify-bwp-settings
…for my site (listing URL privately), but YSlow still only gives the site a grade C overall.
I’m concerned about this:
Grade F on Make fewer HTTP requests
This page has 23 external Javascript scripts. Try combining them into one.
This page has 9 external stylesheets. Try combining them into one.I have BWS installed and configured as you suggested, and the site is on WPEngine with CDN and caching enabled.
Can you please advise how to improve the speed?
Many thanks,
Russ
Yeah, it kinda sucks. It’s such a great theme in so many ways, but the developers behind it developed it in a way that makes it near impossible to improve upon the page speed. I’ve been using it for a couple of years and every post regarding page speed is basically met with crickets or half ass workarounds that don’t address the issue.
Hi
@russayres if you can give a look into your page source you will see that probably all theme related javascripts and css files were packed and minified but please understand that there are other plugins that might load their javascripts and css in ways that the BWP Minify plugin can’t interpret in order to compress them. This things are absolutely not related to the theme because each plugin was built to work in different ways and our theme doesn’t interfere in no way with them. I also recommend you to deactivate any plugins that you might have activated but you’re not using or needing them.
@bkozlowski I don’t see you having any tickets in a couple of years regarding any speed issues, this is the worst and most common mistake that most of the users make, thinking all things that goes wrong into their wordpress sites are related to the theme, forgetting that a theme is mostly focused on design, very small/light features and ui/ux and the more complex components or features are added by additional plugins, making each plugin author responsible of the optimisation of their own code.I invite you to a quick test which will make a lot of light regarding this subject, temporary deactivate all your plugins ( excluding K-Elements and Visual Composer ) and then you can see how the theme truly performs by her own.
Also it’s absolutely normal for a wordpress site to get heavier once you add more and more features to it.
If you can give me more specific details of your issues I’ll try to help you as much as possible.
Looking forward.
