    Hi, some days ago I asked you about your recommendation on how to build my feature blog posts so that the loading is faster and the overall structure is better. You recommend Elementor over WPPage builder, so today I tried to recreate the same blog posts with Elementor... but unfortunately, I got gaian C from GT Metrix. I know I have many images, but they are actually optimized for web.

    Any recommendation on what can I do to improve the score and in order to have faster loading? (example: https://lillagreen.com/haritha-villas-the-most-luxury-villas-in-south-sri-lanka/)

    Thank you so much! The homepage was always something like B... the blog posts are the problem...

    What did you do exactly for the performance?

    I use LiteSpeed Cache (also for the lazy load) also for and MEM Object Cache (from A2 hosting), and Turbo cache on the server level (A2 hosting) - if you have any recommendations or ideas on how to load faster without completely reducing the quality of the images and everything, please let me know..

    What is really annoying now is when I load a post, the first image is loading super slow and all the others are faster loaded than the first one - isn't it supposed to be the other way round with lazy load? Thank you!

    2. I've config the pagespeed optimization by following the document on this link: https://soledad.pencidesign.net/soledad-document/#speed-optimization

    You are the best! Thank you soooo much for your time and support!

    One only thing - it takes a long time for the images to pop up and sometimes it looks like there is nothing loading after the text. Is there a way to show that image is loading so that people do not leave the website while waiting on a blank page position (I can not really explain it)?

    Anyway, right now it is much better than it was before your optimization! Thank you again!

    BTW: Do you have an affiliate program for Penci Themese and products? We would love to recommend them and your service..

    Have a great day!

    hi, after testing, I noticed that top bar is loading super slow (maybe it is part of the lazy load)  how can I exclude it from this loading rule, as it should be loading fast? Thank you!

    It is the top bar section - I sent you 2 screenshots. The fully loaded top bar appears after a few moments... but it is important that the top bar /main bar/logo /  is loading as first.

    Another thing - it takes a long time for the images to pop up and sometimes it looks like there is nothing loading after the text. Is there a way to show that image is loading (frame, loading sign..) so that people do not leave the website while waiting on a blank page position (I can not really explain it)


    Thank you!

    Hi,

    The problem is that the speed optimization has delayed all the JS library and icon fonts until the user interactive with your site.

    If you want all the elements displayed immediately, please go to Appearance → Customize → Speed Optimization: disable all the optimize on these sections.

    Regards,
    PenciDesign.

    So there is no way I can set that the top bar icons should be loaded first/faster? Thank you

    Hi,

    Please go to Appearance → Customize → Speed Optimization → Optimize CSS: turn on the "Disable Delay Icon Fonts" option.
