If this is the wrong outlet for my question, my sincere apologies. I'm trying to improve my load times, I'm using a masonry plugin (WP Canvas - Gallery) for my galleries. They currently use the full high res image even when in the grid. It makes my load times terrible. If there is a way to change that it'd be great!
Also if anyone knows a way to use the lazy load within this system that would also be great!
my site can be found here.
I did a Pingdom Website Speed Test and the load time was ok at 3 sec. I like Fancybox as a versatile tool with many functions and options. You can read more about it and see examples here. There is also a Fancybox WordPress Plugin. Hope this helps.

I am running a light wordpress installation, with a light theme (neve). I am running a CDN (cloudflare), I am making most optimizations that I can think of with some room around images and custom code stripping.
However I am not even close for my pages and even if I test AMP pages which are stripped down I don't get a passing score which concerns me. Can anyone help me out, for example 1 of my blog post pages:
Amp report:

In both cases my main thread processing is too much and too much JS - short of that I don't see a lot of savings. Most the JS comes from ads which I don't understand why they are blocking in this case.
I have checked your both reports, the man issue is with Javascript. As your website has developed in WordPress use some 3rd party plugin like WProcket and perfmatters to reduce unused Javascript. Your page DOM size, it is created when you have too many sections in your page. Try to reduce those sections to reduce the page size, minimize the gap between paragraphs.
Adjust the images size and try to use WEBP format of images. Also check the compatibility of third party plugins with you WordPress version which you have installed.
I'm using the slider revolution plugin in my site
I tried to speed up my site but becuse of slider revolution the score is aroung 60 in gtmetrix
asked several times from the auhotrs and they did noting for...
I'm using Litespeed webserver and Litespeed cache plugin and it was configured
the them is astra and already was minified and have exellent speed but when the slider is avtivate , the speed is going down
All metrics of speed are fine but slider revolution croupt the others and coulden't find the good solution for.
Thanks
we have a tutorial covering the typical issues: https://www.sliderrevolution.com/tutorials/optimizing-load-speed-and-performance/
If you need more advanced help (since the litespeed plugin is not covered directly in there) one of our experts would have to take a look into your installation to understand what is going on more deeply. Please raise a ticket at https://support.sliderrevolution.com in that case, thanks!
Great thread. Worked like a charm! I spent hours of work and research looking for the files that housed the "script" tags (ie: header.php)and lost my mind till I found this thread... its a simple setting but sometimes its just about knowing where the settings are. Awsome!
My WordPress website takes a lot of time to load pages, a problem that many of us face. I used GT metrix to check my WordPress page and then checked my website waterfall.
One thing I saw taking more than half time of my page is an image which is not uploaded in my website.
check this image of gt metrix waterfall:
I checked it, and I found this is an image which I have not used in my entire webpage. Also I could not find where is this image used.
Same thing happens in different pages that has different images to it.
I deleted one image from my media but now when I check the GT metrix waterfall I get a 404 error code which means its still trying to load that image and I cannot find it.
This is a theme which I had purchased and its not a popular theme like divi or ocean and hence could not contact the support.
How to check where a particular image is used in my webpage using
the media library (can I do that?)
How to find out and remove this image? Or at least is there a way where I can delete the image from the library and hence my webpage should not look for this image wasting its time instead of getting a 404 code
Your problem is quite common indeed, for your specific case i can suggest by starting to search the image name in both code + DB, it MUST be somewhere.
If you cannot find it inside your stuff there's only one answer left: there's some JS third party script that is loading that for you, but in this case i seriously dubt it would be in the same domain as your site.
Using the media library there's not much you can understand, if you are VERY lucky it will have a message like "attached to" but that thing cover like 10% of the cases, most of the time the image ARE used but are not attached to anything like a post, so the media library won't tell you anything
I've had this happen before a few times, too. Isn't it frustrating!? If you could provide a URL, I (and others, I'm sure) would be happy to take a look and try to figure out what's going on. :)
I have website and i have lots of images on home page.
Almost 60 images in row and i have almost 5 rows of carousel.
But all this image comes from remote website feed so i cant optimize them and the occupy lots of size
when i test my website in gt matrix it shows me 26mb of page so it is obvious it will take
much loading time.I have applied lazy loading images,how ever the speed is very slow
What steps should i take to speed up this kind of page?I dont want to use any plugin because they brake website some times
Upon showing images from another server makes the site slow, because that server may be slow.
So better you try to get those images from your server if possible, else you can try using
plugins like wp-supercache
Minify all your JS and CSS files
For better page speed and avoid these error you should try following things.
Enable Compression from Cpanel
You are using Wordpress so use any of the cache plugin.
Use header expiry using httaccess or page header.
minimize you scripts (css,js).
Use compressed images (jpegtran,pngout).
If your image is casing issue try to use CDN for images.
This will help you to improve page speed.
Crop the images using timthumb. There is wordpress plugins for timthumb probably. Check in wordpress directory as well as it's use. Once images size is reduced, Page would be loaded fast. Additionally, follow the #Jobin Jose's comment, will help you to optimize the speed. Moreover, use WP Super Cache plugins.
I'm using the video module on Drupal and it works pretty well.
I would like to manually update thumbnails of my videos instead of automatically generate them. Is that possible ?
thanks
Looks tough, there's a recent issue of someone complaining about this at http://drupal.org/node/670054 but there is a setting in the config (under automatic video thumbnailing), look at http://video.heidisoft.com/content/configuring-video-module
It'll be a lot of frustrating tweaks to get that to work, so sorry to say that no you can't manually update thumbnails using this module.
