Using Templates from Site Library supposed to be slower?
4 replies · Started by Kumi on February 20, 2020
Could be a local issue but I'm using Uno (FLint Skin) and my scores on pagespeed are actually poor.
20 mobile/ 65 Desktop
If using only GP (no template from site libary), scores are great 75 mobile / 98 on desktop.
Is this normal?
I am using autoptimize and have followed this: https://generatepress.com/fastest-wordpress-theme/
Any advice would be appreciated
Hi there,
your Sites performance can be effected by many factors - the main difference between the vanilla GP and the Imported Site will be the content that is loaded.
I would suggest running a GT Metrix report on the site - it will provide more insight to the things that can be improved.
Also to note the PageSpeed Insights report is really brutal on mobile speed - once some real world data has been collected you will see an improvement.
Thank you for your reply.
I must agree with your statement about pagespeed.
On Gmetrix, the scores are better A for pagespeed score and B for Yahoo.
The main problem seems to be Leverage Browser Caching... I am caching with autoptimize aren't I?
Here are the problematic resources:

HOw do I fix these?
Thank you again!
Most of those likely can't be removed, unfortunately. You'd have to ask Elementor about their ones.
The only GP one in there is our icon font. You can remove that one by using SVG icons (Customize > General).
Hi
I had the same experience with
https://......./wp-content/plugins/elementor/assets/lib/font-awesome/webfonts/fa-regular-400.woff2
https://......./wp-content/plugins/elementor/assets/lib/font-awesome/webfonts/fa-solid-900.woff2
at PageSpeed Insights
I added a new Element - type: hook, wp_head, entire site - with this content
<link rel="preload" href="https://mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/elementor/assets/lib/font-awesome/webfonts/fa-regular-400.woff2" as="font" crossorigin="anonymous">
<link rel="preload" href="https://mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/elementor/assets/lib/font-awesome/webfonts/fa-solid-900.woff2" as="font" crossorigin="anonymous">
Exchange "mydomain.com" with your domain name.
It seems to work
