[Support request] Speed issue in website: https://staging.gartersandco.com.au

[Christine]

Hi I am designing a wordpress website using generatepress pro and I am really afraid that without having much data the website score is very bad.
I have used autooptimize plugin to minify css,js and html. Also tried wp-rocket. I am Using elementor Pro page builder.

Even though doing this all i am not going beyond 30 on mobile and 70 on desktop.

Please let me know is there any way to improve the speed till 90+?

Also how can we get rid of fontawesome?

Looking forward!

Hi there,

You have a lot of render-blocking resources, which definitely doesn’t help your score.

I’m seeing at least 8 stylesheets from Elementor, and Font Awesome is also being added by Elementor.

Autoptimize should help deal with a lot of these (but it’s still a ton of CSS). It doesn’t look like it’s activated anymore – can you check?

I have deactivated it because David from your support told me to deactivate it during development.
Shall I activate?

[Tom]

Yes please, that way we can see what else can be done to optimize 🙂
