Slider revolution weaken site speed a lot

I used slider revolution to insert a title only in the header of my website https://tarekrabaa.com/ar/
I am shocked by the amount of deterioration this plugin caused to my website.
Almost i lost 10 points on GTmetrix.
I deactivated the plugin and compared how the speed increased again.

Regarding the GT Metrix issue you are pointing out. Seems this is something cause by the plugins.
The revolution slider hasn’t developed by our team and its only comes with our theme for free to your customers. We will surely point out this issue to the plugins developers and will get back to you if they have any possible solution for this. Mean while you can check the plugin documentation https://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/slider-revolution-documentation/

Thanks

The problem i mention hereabove was solved using Javascript optimizer but this plugin causes another problem when editing the content using pro editor. I need to stop the plugin everytime i need to edit

Hi There,

In that case, we recommend turning off the plugin while editing.

Would you plz tell me how to do it manually without plugin?
This revolutional Slider plugin has plenty of speed problems and parallel loading. For just using it in the header to add responsive text only it causes plenty of delay in my website
I cancelled THE SLIDE FROM SLIDER REVOLUTION because it is not considering the importance of speed in Website

Hi there,

I suggest that you turn on the jQuery No Conflict and move the Javascript files of the Revolution Slider to the footer using the guide below:

https://www.themepunch.com/faq/troubleshooting-tips-for-5-0/

Also, there are general performance boost practices that I suggest you take a look:

Now, regarding the plugin that you use please consider that Cornerstone and the theme CSS and Javascript files are all minified out of the box. It seems that the plugin you use tries to minify those assets and that is why a double minification happens and it stops the theme and the Cornerstone to work properly.

If you want to use the optimization plugins you need to exclude the assets of the theme and the Cornerstone.

You can find the assets of the Cornerstone in this folder: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/x/wp-content/plugins/cornerstone/assets/dist/

Thank you.
