Upload Speed: comparing free Customizr to Customizr Pro

    Hi all,
    I’m new to wordpress and I must say that it is very very slow for the page to upload! I have never had this issue. I have been used to using Rapidweaver, but changed to wordpress..

    My question (I have only woocommerce plugins, so it’s not a too-many-plugins problem) is if there is a different in upload/opening webpage if it’s the Free customiser versus the paid Customizr Pro? If there’s a massive difference, for that reason alone, I’d rather upgrade.

    I am building an e-commerce site with my site, and frankly it’s so slow, that I’m wondering if Wordpess is the way to go, and if themes make a difference?
    I have optimised my images too.

    Any tips and advice is much appreciated.

    Hi Jenny,

    If you have installed many third-party plugins then try disabling them as they make the site slow. It’s also recommended compressing your images before uploading to your site. Always make sure you are uploading images as a minimum in size as possible. For compression, you can use a plugin WP Smush It.
    To further improve it, try using a good caching plugin like WP super cache. 

    Thank you!

    Hi Jenny,

    By using webpagetest.org to test your http://www.jennyeleni.com site, it appears that the link to the REST API (link to api.w.org) needs 3 to 5 seconds.

    I have the same problem on my site https://artemis-smb.fr.

    I don’t know why this access is so slow !!!

    It seems feasable to disable it : https://wp-mix.com/wordpress-disable-rest-api-header-links/

    Hi @thorgisl,

    Thank you for this!
    Was pretty straight forward.
    Not sure if it’s made much difference in my page load speed though..

    I have issues with some images not appearing/responsive. Maybe some conflict there. I”ll post on a different thread for that!

    Many thank anyway for your help! Maybe it’s shaved off a second or two. 🙂

    Hi @emranemranx,

    thank you for your reply. Honestly I do not have many plugins. The main ones are for Woocommerce – that is Woocommerce and the Stripe plugin for Woocommerce. I had Smash it plugin and suddenly my site was soooo slow it was ridiculous. So, I deleted that and optimise (to my best ability.) the images myself. I have Cloudflare and W3 Total Cache and recently Swift Performance Lite. Seemed to be ok…until..

    But, with images, it’s really confusing. I’ve looked on some recommendation on how to optimise them, and the help sites say to put the images at the maximum size (once you click inspect elements on the image)! I am confused. I’ve made all my images the size the theme’s maximum is. But, now my product images are screwing it all up. http://www.jennyeleni.com/shop –> they are not responsive and disappear when viewed on a smartphone device. I’m happy to post this bit on another thread. 🙂

    Thanks again for your input and advice.
    I don’t have loads of plugins nor loads of images, but my site is way too slow. I don’t get it!
