Title: Website Review Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Website Review * [Matthew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kidsguide/) * (@kidsguide) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/) * Please take a look at my website and give me any advice that you think best. * [http://www.northgateministry.com/](http://www.northgateministry.com/) * Thanks Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 19 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/page/2/?output_format=md) * [JohnPope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnpope/) * (@johnpope) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/#post-5342495) * The very first thing you need to do is to make the filesize of your background image smaller. * It is currently 4.9MB which is massive and makes the whole site very very slow to load. * Thread Starter [Matthew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kidsguide/) * (@kidsguide) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/#post-5342537) * I just made it a little smaller. If I make it too small then it doesn’t completely cover the background of the website. * Any other suggestions? * [JohnPope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnpope/) * (@johnpope) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/#post-5342574) * Sorry Matthew, you misunderstand what I meant. I didn’t mean to make the image smaller in terms of size, but to reduce the file size. * Currently you are using a png file which could be massively reduced in file size. * I have just opened the image file in an image editor, exported it as a .jpg and then used smush.it (an image compression service) and I have reduced the file size from 4.9MB to 633KB, which is just over 8 times smaller. * You could do the same thing, or if you would like then I can email you the reduced size file if you let me know where to send it. * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/#post-5342575) * I know you’re both cool people but we can’t do email on these forums. Thanks. * [spitza23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spitza23/) * (@spitza23) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/#post-5342578) * The slider transitions are very laggy, suppose that`s because of the large bg picture. Like JohnPope said, you should decrease the image file size, there are plenty of image compression tools online. * Thread Starter [Matthew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kidsguide/) * (@kidsguide) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/#post-5342591) * [@andrew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrew/): good to note. * [@johnpope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnpope/): I will try that out and get back to you once I am done doing it. Thanks! * [@spitza23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spitza23/): That is most likely a problem with the background. I will get that fixed. * Thread Starter [Matthew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kidsguide/) * (@kidsguide) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/#post-5342593) * Just changed the image to make it way smaller. Have a look. * [janboulas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/janboulas/) * (@janboulas) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/#post-5342646) * One thing I would suggest is use CSS to make the background image take up 100% of your browser. Currently, it gets cut off on a cinema display. * Thread Starter [Matthew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kidsguide/) * (@kidsguide) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/#post-5342647) * What sort of CSS code would I use? * [spitza23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spitza23/) * (@spitza23) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/#post-5342692) * background-size:cover applied on the body tag * Thread Starter [Matthew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kidsguide/) * (@kidsguide) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/#post-5342697) * Like this? * ``` body { background-size: cover; } ``` * Thread Starter [Matthew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kidsguide/) * (@kidsguide) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/#post-5342698) * Just tried that code above and it worked. Thanks * [BritishTraveler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/britishtraveler/) * (@britishtraveler) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/#post-5342704) * Why there is another Tab for Home just above slider? * Thread Starter [Matthew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kidsguide/) * (@kidsguide) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/#post-5342709) * I should remove that title above it on the home page. Will do. * Thread Starter [Matthew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kidsguide/) * (@kidsguide) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-review-3/#post-5342710) * Just removed the title using the Hide Title plugin. * Anything else?
