Bg-body.gif slowing down page loads

[TheNHA]

Hello

I was testing site speed and this file just kept showing up sometimes doubling my page load times by itself. The asset would return a 404 page and when I found the file on the back end it opened to show a small white square.

What is the purpose of this file and can it be deleted/replaced without damage to the theme?

I deleted the file and tested page speeds and it cut them in half. I haven’t found anything broken on the site yet.

I noticed the same and added the following to the child’s theme CSS:

COPY CODE

body {
	background-image: none !important;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

This overrides the CSS calling it, so the next theme update won’t replace it on the site.

I don’t see any difference, not sure why the file is called?
Cheers

Hi, that image if used by default for the boxed layout for the body background and we did an extra check so it won’t be generated in the dynamic.css if the side layout is wide.
