[Resolved] Embed code in the header

[David]

I can confirm that those other scripts are now gone. So ALL ok.

[Christiano]

Thank you very much David! ☺️

Is there something else that I can do to speed up my site? My score is still very bad on First Contentful Paint, Largest Contentful Paint and Time to Interactive… 😞

THANKS! 🤗

Are you testing the staging site ?
If so – you may find that its performance is lower as some Hosts will downgrade the staging sites server performance.
Might be worth checking with them first.

[Christiano]

I asked to my host and they said that the speed is the same so I could run all my tests with no worries…

[David]

OK, so there are some improvements that can be made.
The one i highly recommend is to serve your google fonts locally:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-local-fonts/

By loading them locally you will remove any request to the Google Server which makes a big difference.

Aside from that, more optimizations could be made using a Cache/Optimization plugins. But i would focus first on fonts, and then ask your host about the following:

https://www.webpagetest.org/result/221017_BiDcS2_BMJ/1/details/#waterfall_view_step1

Look at the first request on the Waterfall report, if you click on it, it will show you more details of which you see:

DNS Lookup: 406 ms
Initial Connection: 503 ms
SSL Negotiation: 1142 ms

So thats 2 seconds for the the DNS lookup to complete, and then the server to make the connection and negoitiate the SSL.
Its not bad, but it could be quicker.

SMART! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤗

I’m definitely going to follow your steps but I have a question before starting.

In custom->typography there are only two fonts displayed (Frank Ruhl Libre and Inter). They are the default fonts of Scribe Theme I suppose…

Is there a way to be sure that my site uses only this two fonts? I’m not sure, perhaps I may have chosen a different font somewhere…

THANKS! 🤗

[David]

In that WebPageTest report, scroll down to see all the Request Headers.
There are 3 x requests: 25, 26, 27 that are being made to the fonts.gstatic domain which list the 3 font files being loaded.

1 request i for the Inter font.
2 requests for the Frank Ruhl Libre font variants.

So thats it, no other google fonts are being loaded.

Hi David, I have started all the process but I received an error message uploading .ttf files.

How can I do? Do I need to contact my host in order to upload the font files?

THANKS! 🤗

Hi Christiano,

You can try to temporarily add define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true); in your wp-config.php file through FTP. You’re hosting provider can probably assist you with this.

You should be able to upload .ttf files with this.

Hi Fernando, I have just chatted with my web host support and they said that if I’ll use FTP I could do all the work without any problem.

They have sent me a FileZilla FTP client tutorial so I am going to try. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🤞🏼

Anyway, where do I need to upload those files??? I mean in wich folder?

THANKS! 🤗

[Fernando]

I see. All uploaded files should be in /wp-content/uploads.

The wp-config.php file on the other hand can be found in the root folder. 🙂

[Christiano]

OK, thanks a lot! 🤗

I’ll try it before closing the topic. See you later… 🤞🏼

[Fernando]

Alright! Hope it goes well. 🙂

[Christiano]

I done the work but I want to be sure so I need to have some clarifications. And, anyway, I experienced some issues…

– First of all, as I do not have the file displayed in the media section, I copied the URL via FTP and modified accordingly (please look at my url in the private infos). I noticed that Leo used a http: URL, I decided to use an https: one.

– I noticed also that there are also image files… is it normal?

– Besides as I’m working on a stage site, when I will make it the default site all will be working fine?

– I was using standard Scribe fonts and I uploaded that 2 font. But my website font changed, they are not the same as before. Why?

– Could you check to see if I correctly hosted the font? If I make the correct procedure I could fix the point before this.

THANKS A LOT! 🤗

Do you have a Child Theme installed on the site ?
