Loading time

Does anybody else have an issue with the loading time of this theme? Also once loaded, going to different tabs is fast but going back to home takes about 13 secs. Any suggestions?

 

I just called in my hosting provider and they run a test on www.pricechiropractic.org. The agent said the slow loading time is concentrated on the homepage and is not a hosting issue. I am not a programmer so I really hope you guys can help me with this problem. When you pull up the site it takes 13-15 secs. Once you're in other pages are fast loading except when looping back to home. Your help is very valuable to me and i'm looking forward for your reply. Thank you very much.

 

sorry for posting again. I saw under general discussions somebody gave this code for a different theme to speed up loading time.

.flexslider .slides > li:first-child {
display: list-item!important;
}
How will the codes be for my theme? Sorry I'm not a programmer so I need help figuring it up. Thanks!

 

Hi if you dont get any answers here, ask this guy for assistance and say curlybless recommended you, Its on fiverr and costs $5 but he is really good at resolving issues, I use him a lot and always resolveshttp://www.fiverr.com/atiqbd4ever ...can you post a response on here if you do get it sorted as I am building a quick site which is a little slow but I only have one image on slider http://manandtransitvanlondon.co.uk/

 

Hi sangermike
As i can see the main reason for longer load time is js and images. Your site is 3MB according to http://tools.pindom.com
To decrease the size of js use https://wordpress.org/plugins/bwp-minify/ it will minify all the js files and decrease the load time.
To decrease the size of images, use some image compressor software or for png images you can use http://tinypng.com

You can add your own CSS in Custom CSS which can be found under:
Dashboard >> Appearance >> Theme Options >> Custom CSS

Hope it may help you.
Thanks

I resized down my images and used size format as recommended by what I see on the theme. There are larger images like the separators and social icons etc (not on WP media-im sure in file manager) but these are all inherent to the theme, as well as the jquery and css. Are there others using this theme who experience slow load time. And if you have corrected it, kindly share what other (non-programmer) steps I can figure out. Thanks! very frustrated.

 

Hello,
Generally websites contains sliders they take little more loading time as compare to static website or non sliders site. Files regarding to slider and jQuery takes time to upload and process.
We are trying to resolve this type of issues .We update it soon.
Thanks & Regards

I'm making another website using your photomaker theme which has more galleries in it. That doesn't seem to slow down the website compared to the simplicity of the smartbooking layout. Thanks anyway.
