Hello, I’ve had this template installed on a site for some time and I notice when opening it’s a bit slow, sometimes gets stuck with endless loading. It happens on only on article items that are 5 deep in from main categories. example: parent category> category>2 category>3 category>4 category>5

example: http://www.israeltourismconsultants.com/Travel/Destinations/Israel/Christian-Tours/Footsteps-of-Jesus-Holy-Land-Israel-Tour/overview

I’m using latest 3.5.1 however I have had this issue from install. I use sh404SEF and currently using On – Progressive cache, however have tried with conservative, as well as OFF. I also have all system cache enabled.

I first thought it could be the sh404 component however same thing happens when I disable it. Did I maybe go to deep with categories? has this affected performance or have you heard that this affects speed?

Help is very much appreciated, jc

Hi JC,

In my opinion, how deep the category is will not relate much to the performance here. There are several reasons such as:

• Is your host is good enough?
• The connection between your host and social network: Youtube, Disqus,… if this connection is not good, it may slow down site.
• Optimised CSS/ JS file : you can enable this option via template manager

You can try with one of these tools mentioned in our blog post for further checking: https://www.joomlart.com/blog/news-updates/tools-and-tips-to-check-joomla-site-speed-and-improve-performance

Hope this helps.

Hi

Kindly check whether these images persist or not and check where you use these images on your site and change to correct path.

Hello, yes the do persist on all pages, and I’m not using these images, folder path also doesn’t exist. Not sure what is creating them.

As I can see from the sources, these files come from a 3rd party plugin on your site called ‘scripturelinks’.

Could you please check this plugin? and see which files of this plg call those images.

Thanks yes, that was the plugin creating the 404 links. I played around with a couple of settings and have that cleared. I’m also trying out cloudflare.com, free service, and hope it will also help improve.
