|
|
Hi Everyone, my self-hosted WordPress website lanceblairvo.com was running slow and I poked around and found out that the theme didn't have very good support. Its page builder a was out of date since November 2019!
So I went with a new, faster theme. It seems to be about 50% quicker but still isn't lightning fast. I'd appreciate it if you gave it a look and a critique. Thanks in advance.
And yes, the blog is active. I still blog! _________________ Skype: globalvoiceover

Hi Lance - I just gave your new site a test run; there's a lag time of about 3-4 seconds, nothing major. Your new WP site looks fantastic! ![Smile](images/smiles/smile.gif) _________________ "What was that? An exhibition? We need emotional content." - Bruce Lee, Enter The Dragon |

Thanks Bruce and Todd, good to know. Glad you like it.
It's the Astra Theme for anyone wondering. They have great templates for it but I have it built with the simple block setup I made.
Found a lag contributor! Tools were telling me that Vimeo was causing a lag but I didn't believe it. So I now removed the one Vimeo video from my home page carousel and that sped it up about 25%!
Here's a dandy speed tool from Google, btw:
