Good morning,

today gdmap is not working, would it be on the home page or in listings…
tried to swap it to open street maps and that one will only display events

the only thing i changed yesterday was for loading time, installed browser caching with .htaccess
but it worked fine for the rest of the day

could you please have a look? i’m out of ideas…

Thanks in advance,
Pat

Can it be because I moved all js to the footer?

But it worked yesterday…

Hi Pat,

Are you using any plugin related to “pagespeed” or enabled any pagespeed settings from server side?
This breaks the JavaScript files and results in a JS errors.

JS file with pagespeed url: https://www.toutwaterloo.be/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js,qver=1.12.4.pagespeed.jm.pPCPAKkkss.js
JS file without pagespeed url: https://www.toutwaterloo.be/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.12.4

Also it showing Google Map Invalid Key error: “Google Maps API warning: InvalidKey https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#invalid-key”

Please correct these things and let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,

i used a code in htaccess to place all js in footer whick broke the map, removed it
restored htaccess to previous version

the map is back

but then how to combine external javascript and reduce loading time?

Thanks for your help, i’m a bi surprised because when “installed” the map was loading…maybe it took some time to be replicated…

Thanks,
Pat

Thanks for letting us know.

You can use either “GD Booster” or “WP Super Cache” caching plugin to reduce load time. Both are fully compatible with GeoDirectory.

GD Booster: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/gd-booster-add-on-overview/
WP Super Cache: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/useful-plugins/#super-cache

Thanks Kiran,

i tested both solutions, and being afraid of f***ing things up again i came back to GD Booster

when testing with pingdom tools i got this to resolve :
f
0 Parallelize downloads across hostnames
f
5 Combine external JavaScript
e
51 Combine external CSS
c
76 Serve static content from a cookieless domain
c
77 Remove query strings from static resources

Would you have any hint on how to get this with green lights? We really need specialists help here, Geodirectory and Google Maps being a little heavy to load and it really becomes an issue…

AND i dont want to keep crashing my site twice per week 🙂

Thanks a lot for your help,
Pat

Hi Pat,

what kind of server is hosting your website? The only thing that can significantly improve a website performance, is a server upgrade.

Caching plugins do what high octane gasoline does, they bring a car to reach its top performances.

That said, if the car normal speed is 120 km/h, you can’t expect to ride at 300km/h, just because you filled it with high octane gas.

Same goes with caching plugins.

I hope this helps.

Let us know,

Thanks
