the menus are huge!

cheers

ok i also have an issue with the ‘Show Sidebar’ link in mobile, i have Filter Everything Pro widgets here but the close overlay layer is on top of everything, when i change the z index you can close the slide out panel, see image

I’ve already followed all the suggested steps, but two issues remain unresolved:

Menu CSS not applying on first load

When accessing category pages (e.g. clicking Cuban Cigar), the menu fails to apply the custom CSS styles on the initial load.

This happens across all browsers.

It’s not a cache issue — it seems the CSS is either loading too late or not at all, unlike on the landing page where it works reliably.

Slider Revolution blocking page load

The slides are very small in file size and fully optimised, so they should load almost instantly.

However, the entire page stalls until all the slides have finished loading. Nothing else renders until the slider completes, which makes the page feel extremely slow.

The issue doesn’t appear to be asset weight, but rather the way the slider is initialising and blocking the page rendering process.

Here is the CSS I’ve applied for reference:

.wd-nav[class*=”wd-style-underline”] .nav-link-text {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
padding-block: 1px;
line-height: 1.2;
font-weight: 500;
}

.wd-nav > li > a {
position: relative;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
min-height: 0px;
padding: var(–nav-pd);
text-transform: uppercase;
font-weight: 600;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 1.4;
text-decoration: none;
color: var(–nav-color);
background-color: var(–nav-bg);
box-shadow: var(–nav-shadow);
border: var(–nav-border);
border-radius: var(–nav-radius);
}

.wd-nav-product-cat:not(.wd-nav-mobile) > li > a {
padding-block: 5px;
font-size: 16px;
}

Could you please investigate why:

The menu styles don’t consistently apply on category pages, and

Slider Revolution is blocking the entire page from rendering until all slides are fully loaded?

It feels like a render-blocking/initialisation problem rather than a caching or optimisation issue. Any insight or fixes would be hugely appreciated.

Best regards,

ive added this seems to have fixed it:

.vc_col-has-fill > .vc_column-inner, .vc_row-has-fill + .vc_row-full-width + .vc_row > .vc_column_container > .vc_column-inner, .vc_row-has-fill + .vc_row > .vc_column_container > .vc_column-inner, .vc_row-has-fill > .vc_column_container > .vc_column-inner {
padding-top: 0px;
}

.wpb_button, .wpb_content_element, ul.wpb_thumbnails-fluid > li {
margin-bottom: 0px;
}

ignore the padding issue found it in the menu perameters

i added the border, that wasn’t the issue!? it was the spacing anyway ive fixed it now so it deosnt matter
