Home page too slow.

Hello i just updated the Woodmart core plugin from the plugin area and i noticed that the loading of the home page takes too long.
i cant figure out a way of solving this.

Hello,

Could you please check how it works with some default WordPress themes like TwentyTwenty or WooCommerce Storefront to understand is it our theme issue or not?

Regards

Hello. It works just fine with the default themes. I tested it with GTMETRIX too. I really dont know what to do. Please check the attached image.

But the GTmetrix reports says that you need to reduce your images size on the home page. And the page size is 3.8MB so probably your images are not optimized before uploading too.

Oh ok thanks. what about the Javascript part though?

We fix JS loading issue using the WP Rocket plugin on our demo. It optimizes and combines them all to improve their loading time.

Hmm its not free plugin i see. Do you have a free one to suggest?

You can try to use some free plugin like WP Total Cache or Super Cache but they are difficult to configure and may have some conflict with other plugins installed. But in general, our theme is fully compatible with them too.

Hello again,
So i figured out the problem is the product images. What in your opinion is the best filesize and dimensions for a product image.

Read our documentation about image sizes here https://xtemos.com/docs/woodmart/faq-guides/image-size-content-alignment-product-grid/

OK SO I deleted every product on my site and images too. Home page loads in 2 seconds. I uploaded 120 products. Now page loads in 12 seconds. When i change theme homepage loads in 3-4 seconds. Can you check it with admin credentials?

What exactly should we check?

You should check why your theme causes this much delay on the page. As you can see on the screenshot attached the page is 1.47 mb and loads in 7.2 sec.

Your real website loading time is around 1second and you need to check the time with Google chrome inspector https://gyazo.com/7743c7b8d97ea62e27d483e3a63ebe54

Is there a way to enable a preloader?

I enabled again the product tabs and the page loads in 7+ seconds. This is insane. Images are optimized.

Hello,

Could you please disable all plugins that are not related to our theme and provide us your admin access so we can check it?

Thank you in advance

Hello, I deactivated all plugins that are not related to your theme and wrote the admin credentials in the private area.
Thanks in advance!

Please, send us your FTP access as well.

Its a managed server. I dont have FTP access. Can i ask the hosting providers for something?

We have changed the size for WooCommerce images and now it seems to work without delay when images are displayed on the page. Please, check from your side.

I cant imagine why this is happening but it works. Images look blurry too though. That is the previous ticket i posted. Is there a way of not showing blurry images and not delaying the site?
Thanks a million times!

Yes, you can enable it in Theme Settings -> Performance -> Preloader.

Hello again. Is there a way of not displaying blurry images and not delaying the site at the same time?

Sorry, but your question is not quite clear. Could you please provide some screenshots for a better explanation?

So on friday you changed some settings about how images are diplayed and you fixed the delay of the site. The problem is that images appear blurry now. You can check the attached screenshot or use the admin credentials to check it on your own.
Thanks in advance

Try to increase images sizes in Appearance -> Customize -> WooCommerce -> Product images.

Nothing happens. Can you please tell me what dimensions are the product images in the demo so i bulk crop every product image.

Try a few values like 400, 500, 600, and see if the quality improves.
