When viewing my site on an iPad, it takes forever to upload.

It gets stuck after Dr. Phil.

And on the author page
http://gabriella.global/author/

It gets stuck after the first YouTube embed. Any suggestions for how to make it an easier scrolling experience for the iPad and iPhone? Thanks.

I am using a child theme of X Version v 4.4.2.

Hi there,

Please update your theme and follow this KB article https://community.theme.co/kb/performance to improve your site performance.

Hope it helps.

Hi, there.

I see that you recommend using W3 Total Cache. However, when I tried installing it, I got the following error message. See attached image.

Can you suggest an alternative caching plugin that works in a similar way to speed up a site’s performance? Thanks.

Hi there,

Thanks for updating the thread! This error message seems to be unique to your site. You may need to check with your hosting to see caching plugin or solutions works with their setup. Let us know how that goes. Hope this helps – thanks!

Thanks for your reply. I have a question about your instructions in that link above regarding the Gzip compression. When I add in the following code: `<IfModule mod_deflate.c>

# Force compression for mangled headers.
# http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2010/12/pushing-beyond-gzipping
<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
SetEnvIfNoCase ^(Accept-EncodXng|X-cept-Encoding|X{15}|~{15}|-{15})$ ^((gzip|deflate)\s*,?\s*)+|[X~-]{4,13}$ HAVE_Accept-Encoding
RequestHeader append Accept-Encoding “gzip,deflate” env=HAVE_Accept-Encoding
</IfModule>
</IfModule>

# Compress all output labeled with one of the following MIME-types
# (for Apache versions below 2.3.7, you don’t need to enable mod_filter
# and can remove the <IfModule mod_filter.c> and </IfModule> lines
# as AddOutputFilterByType is still in the core directives).
<IfModule mod_filter.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/atom+xml \
application/javascript \
application/json \
application/ld+json \
application/rss+xml \
application/vnd.ms-fontobject \
application/x-font-ttf \
application/x-web-app-manifest+json \
application/xhtml+xml \
application/xml \
font/opentype \
image/svg+xml \
image/x-icon \
text/css \
text/html \
text/plain \
text/x-component \
text/xml
</IfModule>

</IfModule>`

Should I replace what I already have in my .htaccess file?

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Or is there a way I should be combining the two?

[Paul R]

Hi,

You can add the code after this line

# END WordPress

Thanks

Thank you!
