Speeding up website

    Hello everyone

    I have been given this information to do in order to speed up website but I was wondering what are the resulting consequences of selecting these options?

    WP Admin > Divi > Theme Options > Builder > Advanced > Static CSS File Generation


    WP Admin > Divi > Theme Options > Minify And Combine Javascript Files / CSS Files

    Also I have attached a screenshot of a cache plug-in that I don't know what options to turn on

    Those are meant to speed up the loading of your site. After enabling those options, make sure to check your site & see if everything loaded fine.
    You may just enable all those options & similarly check your site & see if everything loaded fine. They should speed up your site even more.

    I just wanted to created a new topic similar to this but then I found this one by chance. So I hope it is fine to add my stuff here as well since it is pretty much the same.

    I redesigned my entire website using divi. Before this I used the plugin autoptimize in order to speed up the page. It worked absolutely fine and I didn't get any complains about loading issuey by SEO tools anymore.

    But when having divi and autoptimize activated at the same time my images aren't loaded anymore. Deactivating autoptimize gives my back my images on the one hand, but a slower page and complaints of higher number of used CSS and JS files on the other hand.

    All settings mentioned above like
    WP Admin > Divi > Theme Options > Builder > Advanced > Static CSS File Generation
    WP Admin > Divi > Theme Options > Minify And Combine Javascript Files / CSS Files
    are activated.

    So what is the right way to use divi and CSS and JS optimisation at the same time in order to not get any issues shown by SEO checkers?

    Thanks!

    When activating Autoptimize, you may try to disable all default Divi optimization options & see if it works.

    If not, you may try the below code in your child theme functions.php:

    They also suggested that Jetpack lazy load image might be the culprit as well: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/autoptimize-missing-pictures/
    **There's solution in the link as well.
