Rev Slider causing my site and WP admin to be very slow

fontboymedia · November 2014

Hi guys,

I have noticed on other themes that the revolution slider has caused both the site and WP admin section to run very slow - this is the case with my site which as 4 slides, but accessing any of the admin area and website itself is proving very slow indeed now that I have activated the rev slider.

Can anybody help? The site is still in development. http://www.caravaninthelakes.co.uk/

Regards,

Wes

Hi Singcat,

The Homepage is still only using the existing Hotel demo content, with 4 slides that are about 450k each (is this too big??).

Hope someone can help.

Thanks,

Wes

I have forgotten I have the Under Construction setting enabled which is why you can't see it, I can give support my credentials to look at further.

Thanks,

Wes

@fantboymedia As @singcat wrote your website is loading and loading. So if revolution slider does not work quick you should think about better hosting because we don't understand what we can do in this case. If revolution is slow on your website it means your server is not able to handle this plugin properly.

As I had the construction page active, he would not have got to the site, I have turned it off now so you should see the site. It's also the admin area that is struggling too.

Ok but what should we see? At this moment we don't see anything wrong on your website.

it's taking over 12 seconds to load, I am trying to minify / compress, but it breaks the rendering - what plugin will work with the theme?

Maybe the problem is with style-colors.php and style.php files? If this is what you mean, then transform them into static css instead of dynamic. We explained everything at http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/documentation/#static-css

Except that we don't have any other suggestions.

thanks, the wp minify has worked now that I have removed the Hide My WP plugin and this has reduced it just 5 seconds, will try your tip once I have finished - cheers.

You're welcome!
