Site slow: how to reduce the number of requests and Javascript codes?

When I access the homepage, the home page makes 104 requests each time.
It is too much. The load time of the homepage is 8.1 seconds, even under Cloudflare CDN!

How can I reduce the number of requests?
Any other optimisation?

Hello,

Please deactivate all the plugins not related to the theme and switch the parent theme, check the issue.

Try to combine the files with the WP Rocket plugin. Cloudflare CDN does not decrease the number of the request.

Best Regards

Thank you for your help.
I use Asset Optimizer and disable JS and CSS, if it is not on each page, where it is not necessary.
– Does the theme need Jetpack for anything? Can I remove it completely?
– Does the Basel theme need MailChimp on all pages, or only on the Chechout (I am not using subscribe to newsletter)?
– What is this JS for:
Handle: basel-autocomplete
Handle: basel-threesixty // can I disable it on the page if I am not using a 360 view?
Handle: basel-justified-gallery // can I disable it on the page if I am not using a gallery?
Handle: basel-magnific-popup // can I disable it on the page if I am not using the popup?
Handle: basel-countdown

Hello,

Please add the provided code to the functions.php of the child theme:

function basel_disable_js_libs() {
	wp_deregister_script('basel-autocomplete' );
	wp_dequeue_script( 'basel-autocomplete' );
	wp_deregister_script('basel-threesixty' );
	wp_dequeue_script( 'basel-threesixty' );
	wp_deregister_script('basel-justified-gallery' );
	wp_dequeue_script( 'basel-justified-gallery' );
	wp_deregister_script('basel-magnific-popup' );
	wp_dequeue_script( 'basel-magnific-popup' );
	wp_deregister_script('basel-countdown' );
	wp_dequeue_script( 'basel-countdown' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'basel_disable_js_libs', 10200 );

Alternatively, you can combine JS files and all the libraries would be combined in one file.

Thank you!

Can you please respond to my question about JetPack:
– Does the theme need Jetpack for anything? Can I remove it completely?

Hello,

The Jetpack is not needed for the theme, it is often attached to Woocommerce, you can delete it completely.

Best Regards

re Jetpack – thank you, will wipe it out.
which pages need MailChimp plugins? I understand that it is needed for WooCommerce checkout.

Hello,

This is the subscription plugin, you can also delete it if you do not use it.

Best Regards
