Home Page Load Speed

[Mike Gutmaker]

Hello.

For Banquet Hall/Celebration Hall theme I would like some advice to increase page load speed. Analysis in chrome dev tools says I need to defer offscreen images. So I installed smush and the lazy loader is causing problems with the slider images so I had to turn it back off. Any advice?

My site is

Home

What is the recommended total image data size of all images on the home page? What are the recommended sizes of images to import into the theme?
Thank you.

Hi,

Kindly use compressjpeg.com or tinypng.com to reduce sizes and compress all your images and reupload them.

Lastly kindly use WP Fastest Cache plugin and ask hosting to have Zend Op Cache and PHP Server cache applied to your site or if they have NGINX available get them to use that.

With all the above steps i am sure your site will be faster. Theme is just part of the entire WordPress website ecosystem and our themes are coded to be faster.

Rest are all generic points i mentioned here.

Regards,
Chris
