New Website Mobile Speed Already Slow

Hello!

I made a fresh website and my mobile speed rating is 83. What is the issue? Thank you

Hello,

Our theme is optimized for speed and should not significantly slow down your website. However, it’s possible that your website’s performance is affected by the content you have added. For instance, the use of too many plugins, large unoptimized images, or other resources can slow down your website.

We recommend that you remove any unnecessary plugins and install a JS & CSS optimization plugin such as WP Rocket. Our guide on how to optimize your website using our themes can be found here: https://xtemos.com/wordpress-performance-optimization-the-ultimate-guide-in-2021/.

If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Kind regards

By default before installing WP Rocket, is it normal for mobile speed to have a score around 80s? Ive only installed the theme and have not utilize any additional plugins. I would like to confirm this before I conclude its an error with my webhost.

I swapped my theme to a wordpress default theme and scored 100 for both mobile and desktop.

with Woodmart , my desktop is 99, however my mobile is still in the 80s. Any tips? I’ve already activated WP Rocket and image optimized.

Hello,

The default WordPress theme is empty and does not have enough functionality, therefore the result is 100.

1. -Largest Contentful Paint issue (https://prnt.sc/2hF_msezcigM) – This approximates when the main content of the page is visible to users, thus the site needs to be optimized in general so that the largest content element is displayed more quickly.

2. – Minimize main-thread work (https://prnt.sc/xWJ5MIMtljxF) – I suggest using the Wp Rocket to fix it, more detail is here: https://wp-rocket.me/google-core-web-vitals-wordpress/minimize-main-thread-work/

3. -Defer offscreen images (https://prnt.sc/Da5LteXzqlqE) – enable our Lazy loading functionality in Theme Settings -> Performance.

4. -Eliminate render-blocking resources (https://prnt.sc/wgnDnkaJ19FC) – you may try solutions described here https://onlinemediamasters.com/eliminate-render-blocking-resources-wordpress/

5. -Reduce unused CSS – To fix that, I suggest using the WP Rocket.

WP Rocket -> Settings -> File optimization. Enable CSS minify and combine it

Hi Luke, I’ve done most of the steps. However my speed is getting worse as I add more elements to my page. Is this normal as it’s now in the 70-80?

Hello,

Please send me a link to such a page where a lot of elements so I can check it.

And yes, in general, a lot of elements/plugins/content can affect the score.

Kind Regards

The home page, Ive shared it under anon

Hello,

1. -Image elements do not have explicit width and height (https://prnt.sc/ZqFIwXRHID0F) – enable this https://prnt.sc/N2JSyAKL1ze8 option in the WP Rocket.

2. Enable our Lazy loading in Theme Settings: https://prnt.sc/m-ryBtRBJTbk

3. Properly size images (https://prnt.sc/U_eQNdNCXvMT) – upload images from the Dashboard -> Media.

Use the “Mobile DOM optimization” option and “Separate cache for mobile devices”: https://prnt.sc/5ECv4zIEZ8fP,
https://prnt.sc/T7Pk3PcWjSHx

Also, for mobile devices, you can create a specific page by using the “Mobile version HTML block” in the settings of the page: https://prnt.sc/xHE1sn-NOGdI (also the separate cache is required)

Kind Regards
