Hello
How can I stop the white flash on page load when viewing in chrome. See link below...
Needs to be more like this...
Hi there,
Not sure what you mean by white flashes but I don't think I'm seeing them:

GP definitely doesn't do that to your site so if you are still having trouble then try #1 here:

Can you see the way the page header loads, you get a flash when click through the pages.
I still don't think I'm seeing it from my end:

I'll ask someone else to take a look though :)
Hi there,
i see that the site header loads ok, the hero image and content takes a while to render.
This looks to be related to:
a. File size of background image is large.
b. No optimization so style sheets are blocking the rendering of the page.
c. The wow.js that is used for animations is running before the content is loaded - each animation step requires a re-render so will impact peformance.
Would suggest, reduce background image sizes, use Autoptimize to minify and combine style sheets and then if the problem still persists disable the animations.
Thanks David, I'll try this.
