    The site became slow, did not make no changes, except more listings got listed. Google pingdom at only 66%, showing these issues.
    1. There are 65 JavaScript files served from website. They should be combined into as few files as possible.

    https://mysite.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?actio … 1&gd_map_h=340&gd_map_w=978&gd_posttype=gd_place
    https://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js?ver=2.5.14-6684
    https://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-compliments/js/bp-compliments.js?ver=4.9.4

    2. This page makes 99 parallelizable requests to mysite.com. Increase download parallelization by distributing these requests across multiple hostnames:

    https://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-assets/images/downarrow-img.png

    Also, Leverage browser caching, Combine external CSS.
    Any of them could be solved? Am i missing something to improve the speed?
    Thanks

    I’m using a home page map on the top section and it’s slowing down my site also.
    Is it possible to use Supreme’s theme home top section “Find Local Treasures! Discover the best places to stay, eat, shop and events near you.” with Whoop? If yes, what is the widget or html code for this top section? Thank you

    Hi zyze,

    Thanks for your reply. Could you please share your Website URL so that we could check on it and see why is it loading slowly for you? Also, please try reducing the image file sizes you use as background feature image.

    Furthermore, if you wish to display the “best places to stay, eat, shop and events near you”, you can use this widget https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/widgets/#bestofwidget

    Hello,

    The Supreme Home page features several widgets/shortcodes that have had some special styles applied to them.

    It can’t be ‘transplanted’ into another theme without some customization, but you can add the widgets yourself to your home page and style theme

    Hello again,

    Google Page speed results apply to WordPress as a whole, and we have done our best to optimize GeoDirectory, but some of the recommendations from page speed are not possible. YOu can see that by running the same test on WordPress.org and comparing the results.

    Some optimization is possible with a cache plugin. Check out the recommended cache solutions here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/known-issues/#cacheplugins

    We use GD Booster and Yoast SEO plugins only. We do Not use WP Super Cache or any Cache. Furthermore, we use only those plugins, that are included or suggested by GD. In your documentation info, the WP Super Cache is not recommended with GD Booster.
    GD Booster is enabled. All the settings as advised.
    All results below is showing in red “F” on Google speed test
    Combine external JavaScript
    Parallelize downloads across hostnames
    Leverage browser caching
    Combine external CSS
    Sometimes the site is loading so slow, that it takes 5s just to log in to the site. I’m not going to enable/disable anything without your approval first, not to make things worse.
    Thanks

    Hello,

    glad to hear you have GD Booster running.

    Our best advice is to turn off plugins you aren’t using.

    As i said, there is No any other plugins activated or installed, except of those that are required with GD. Period. None. Therefor, nothing to turn off.
    Thanks

    OK then, that’s as good as it can get with GD settings, then.

    I will flag this for the developers in case they have an easy fix for you.
