Plugin did the job BUT it broke website

Hi @yieldway,

For starters, an URL will help us tremendensouly in assisting us 🙂

My best guess right now is that you have a caching system in place as well and you haven’t cleared the cache even after you’ve disabled SBP.

Please post your URL here and maybe a screenshot with the issue so we can see what’s going on 🙂

Thanks,
Cristian.

@yieldway -I see you’re also using JetPack’s Photon CDN to serve images.

Could we do the following two tests:

1. Disable JetPack but keep SBP enabled with your previous settings
2. Make sure in SBP, under “Still need more speed”, the “Load CSS asynchronously” isn’t ticked (while keeping JetPack active).

Also, could I get a screenshot of all the settings you currently have in SBP enabled?

We’ll get to the bottom of this 🙂

Thanks,
Cristian.

@yieldway – let’s give this one more try:

– please go into “Exclude scripts from being moved to footer”

– first input, write: jquery-core
– second input, write: <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js’ defer=’defer’></script>

Click on save & let’s see if this fixes it 🙂 What I’m currently seeing is SBP is moving all of your scripts into the footer, including jQuery but there’s a bunch of other scripts that rely on jQuery that are (wrongfully!) outputting inline code into the header.

Your settings should look like in the following screenshot:

@yieldway –

1st thing we have to do is go ahead and clear the stuff we entered from my previous message. I’ve just checked your site’s source and for whatever reason, it didn’t end up working properly. Basically, the script source wasn’t pasted properly (although on my test site it worked absolutely fine).

Next thing, could you go ahead and disable LazyLoad CSS & Defer JavaScript?

I’ll look into buying a Divi license and testing this as you’re surely not the first one to report this issue.

Thanks,
Cristian.

@yieldway – the only way to make this work OOB is if I can get my hands on a Divi license and test the c*ap out of it 🙂

Divi adds a lot of inlined styles/scripts that will break functionality with Speed Booster Pack.

Also, there’s the issue that jQuery has been moved to the footer while it should remain in your site’s header.

Right now, I’m seeing this in your site’s source code: https://gyazo.com/f49f5894cc6105e034dee2d8c569fc5f

The script path is wrongfully formatted, as it should be loading form Google’s CDN, in case you haven’t disabled “Load JS from CDN”.

I’m afraid the only way to get this back to working perfectly is if you uncheck “load all scripts to footer” which will greatly decrease your site’s speed and bring it back to basically the initial stage where SBP wasn’t installed.

I’ll look into making jQuery remain in the site’s header if unless specified otherwise, since most “popular” themes & plugins nowadays don’t adhere to WordPress coding standards and break compatibility with other plugins (such as SBP).

What you could do though, as a final test, is uncheck “load all scripts to footer” and check back “load from google libraries”. This will essentially move all your scripts back to the header, including jQuery (and PageSpeed Insights will throw an alert that your scripts are render blocking) but you will have a couple of your assets served from Google’s CDN which is faster.

Not ideal, but there’s so much I can do right now since I don’t own a Divi license to test this with.

Thanks for all the time you’ve put into this Diana. It’ll help me update SBP and add even more smart functionality so stuff like this doesn’t happen anymore.

Thanks,
Cristian.
