• hi
    my website is getfuneralplan.co.uk and is built using the betheme. When you go to the site the form loads before the rest of the background image ( its only 184k) and it looks weird. Would anybody have any idea why this is please and how to fix it
    any help is much appreciated
    thanks in advance

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply.
    No its still the same. I think the theme must load lots of javascript etc later than the form is shown, its only slight but doesn’t look right

    when i run a speedtest with https://tools.pingdom.com and look at the individual file requests at the bottom there is always an initial wait sometimes over 2 seconds , any idea what this initial wait is ?
    when i run this test on other sites of mine which don’t use this theme this wait is less than 0.5 seconds, sometimes milliseconds

    many thanks

    I see, I think I understand now. I thought image was pushing form down, but it’s just delayed in loading.

    You’re using Revolution Slider plugin to display that section with background image and form. It looks like image is delayed with some animation to fade in. That’s what causes the form to appear right away while image in the background loads.

    Try to go through Revolution Slider settings and disable any transitions and/or animations you can find. You’ll be able to load image right away. I would recommend using Visual Composer (which you’re using already) to create that section, and eliminate the need for a slider plugin and assets being loaded if you’re not using it for additional slides.

    It wouldn’t hurt to optimize image to reduce file size, so overall the entire page loads faster. If you haven’t optimized it yet, try a free tool like:

    Or, if you want to optimize more images on your site. A free plugin like Smushit.

    Hi
    Thanks for your valued reply, i will check the revslider settings . I already use smushit and the image is optimised to 191K so thats all i can do. My hosting also had issues with server overload which is now resolved so my site is a bit quicker now but the image still slightly loads after the form.
    If / When i solve this i will post the resolution
    Thanks again and all the best
