Im a big fan of the PAge Builder format. Ive brought several demo sites online and its been very quick.
Howver one thing I would like to do is improve my page loading. One thing it seems to be linked to is blocking on Google Page Insights.
Most of the css they are referencing are vantage of PB widgets like buttons etc… I use a caching plugin, and noticed an improvement, but is there any way to improve? When I took a control out, I picked up speed, so clearly it is tied to this.
Totally understand functionality sometimes over-rides performance, but looking for as good a mobile experience as possible.
Your page has 9 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.
None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.
Hi. Please try downloading this ZIP:
https://siteorigin.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/siteorigin-panels.1.5.4.zip
To install you’ll need to delete Page Builder, then install the plugin via Plugins > Add New: Upload Plugin. Once installed head to Settings > SiteOrigin Page Builder and ensure the Inline CSS checkbox is checked.
Should help things out a lot. 1.5.4 is meant to be pushed live soon.
I did what you said. I see a “better number” on page Insights, but it still has the 9 blocking files. I dont know if my host just had less traffic etc… and so I got a better number or nothing really changed?
Hold on… I emptied the caches and things definitely changed. Only 2 blocking things and the number went up to 75 mobile/90 desktop. My bad. Thanks for the quick fix!
Super, glad that was able to help. Sorry for the hassle. That version should be officially pushed live very soon.
All the best.
