page load on my Wordpress site not smooth with Chrome - wordpress

I'm running Ubuntu 11.10.
I've built a simple site using Wordpress and the Manifest theme. My site is located here: http://www.andrewpickin.com, and the Manifest theme has its homepage here: http://jimbarraud.com/manifest/
If I browse the site in Firefox (in Ubuntu) then each page loads smoothly and fast. If I browse it in Chrome (in Ubuntu) then sometimes pages take a millisecond to load, which creates a feeling that the page is flashing or jerking on load.
It's not a major issue, but I feel it should be something that can be fixed. Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe I need to modify the Manifest theme...

'Visual Composer' plugin is outputting weird image links

Morning everyone, i'm having a super weird issue with my recent wordpress migration. I moved the (working) site to another webspace and i'm slowly running out of ideas (jk, already ran out).
Issue: After the migration, the plugin Visual Composer is outputting nonsense image links to the frontend that look like this: https://i.imgur.com/7RocCmE.png instead of the uploaded images url. Result: No images are showing on the frontend.
This issue only happens when i use the single image block provided by VC itself. Inputting an image the wordpress way, inside of a text block, works.
What could be the reason for this? i'm super thankful for any advice since i'm not a programmer.
I have already tried:
Enabling wp debug, not getting any errors
Installing different versions of Visual Composer, multiple times
Reinstalling Wordpress, multiple times
disabling all plugins
completely reinstalling and reuploading everything from scratch
different php versions
As I saw in your screenshot with the src attribute of your image and it has data-src attribute also, I think that it's because the new site (or maybe the new hosting) is using lazy load which will update all images source of the site to the lazy load image for better performance.
Lazy load images mean that the image won't load at the beginning, when you start to scroll down to each section, the images of this section will be loaded. In this way, the site will be optimized and won't load many resources at the beginning.
I think you can:
Check if there is any cache plugin installed, try to deactivate this plugin.
Check with the hosting provider if there is any cache setting installed, try to deactivate this setting also.
See if the image is working in the backend or not, if it's still loaded in the backend, I'm pretty sure that it's the cache issue. If it doesn't load in the backend, I think there is something wrong with your theme source code.
Compare the hosting environment, especially the PHP version of the old and new site to see if there is any differences.

Why is the browser trying to load a /none page (with Wordpress)?

I'm building a Wordpress theme and one of the things I noticed is that the browser requests a page /none (example.com/none). I see this in the Network part of the inspector:
(This is Chrome). As you can see, the browser spends 676 ms loading it and during that time it almost doesn't do/load anything else.
In a theme check (with a WP plugin) I also encountered the absence of /none as an error.
Is this usual browser behaviour for every website or is this pure Wordpress?
And what should I do to fix it (be it WP or browser behaviour)?
Thanks a lot in advance!
This should be related to your theme files. You can have a look at the wordpress template hierarchy to find out all parts of your theme. https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/
Deactivate your theme and use a standard theme. Deactivate all plugins. This way you can make sure that it has nothing to do with your wordpress installation or plugins, but is an issue caused by your theme.
The inspector of your browser might give you the right hints where you can start your search.

Wordpress themes not working properly - no images or css

I have a strange problem with Wordpress. I needed to move the site to another domain and had issues setting everything up again. It works now, but for some reason the themes are not loading images or their CSS.
I thouhgt there is an error with the source links to the images/css, but nope. Installed fresh Wordpress on the server, even on my localhost with XAMPP, but same issue there. Currently only 1 theme is working properly. All the others, when I install them, or click on live demo when installing them from the admin panel in WP, they show only the text. No images, no CSS (at least for the text colors etc..) is being shown. Do you know what could be the reason for that? Even on a freshly installed WP it should work, right?
Thanks!
Have you tried clearing your server cache and browser cache?

Font awesome icons loading on homepage but not inner pages

So recently I migrated my site to new domain and did 301 redirects from normaldomain.co.uk to www.normaldomain.co.uk
After these changes, fontawesome icons stopped working on all inner pages, but they still work on home page.
Here is the link to the website.
Can you please help?
Thanks
open your web console / web inspector (F12 for Windows) and go to the "network" tab. Refresh the page to see if there are some errors when loading the home page. Try the same on other pages where the fontawesome fails.
The problem may be a bad linked URL.
On this example you can see an error when loading the folder /alpimacar
With this information you may still have to solve the problem but may know where's the problem
Sometimes it's happened for cache or bad links.
You may try hard refresh by pressing Shift+R

No Wordpress Styles

Recently installed Wordpress on my website and on my first time visiting the new install, I noticed that there was absolutely no styling whatsoever. I have included an image below just to show what I mean.
How would I go about fixing this? I have tried clearing my cache and all that but I doubt that would do anything since this was my first time visiting the page.
Realised it was due to the fact that I had a domain change. When I inspected the page I noticed that none of the links had been updated so I needed to do a fresh install.
