Like the member in this post – https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/speed-addiction/ – I have moved the dynamic GD map off home page to improve page speed. I am still getting slowed down by google maps javascript though. Can I use the code suggested in that thread in my case? And if so, where do I put it? (the other red speed-bumps are the subject of a separate ticket).

I haven’t tested it, but this should work only in the home page:
```
function _my_dequeue_script() {
	if ( is_home() ) {
 wp_dequeue_script( 'geodirectory-googlemap-script' ); 
}}
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', '_my_dequeue_script', 100 );
```
Thanks

Thanks Paolo, I will give it a try – I assume in functions.php?

Hello, although I put in the code I am not sure this is resolved – check out the pingdom results:
https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/cNOOvT/http://loopyfood.net

I am aware there are one or two other speed issues, that I am working on – although I am also hoping to get a response on my other ticket about the top problem flagged (minimise request size), which appears to be a gd-booster issue 🙂

Thanks,

Adrian

Everythign was correct except u used is_home() instead of is_front_page(), yes its very confusing but is_home() refers to your blog page homepage… 🙂

That’s great – thanks Stiofan.

Now I just need to figure if I can use something similar to stop facebook taking chunk of my load-time (without turning off social share for the rest of the site!)

Cheers,
Adrian
