Help with site performance needed
Permalink
Hi I've got a travel website site with a lot of pages nearly 2000 I think with more to be added. My site runs slow with the setup I've. I don't know if it's the theme, navigation or I have or some other underlying issue. I'm think it could be the navigation, I use auto navigation. Can somebody help please have money waiting for the right person.www.www.traveltoeasterneurope.com...

I agree with pixelmargin that it looks like a slow host. Lots of 'waiting' when I look at your pages through tools.pingdom.com
Apart from upgrading your hosting if it's not already on something decent, my first suggestion would be to update your site to the latest 5.6 version you can (obviously after a good backup).
I'm pretty certain there were some extra speed increases with 5.6.3+

Yes I also suggest that you first update the version to 5.6.3. And then check, if not then contact to your hosting server.
HI,
Enable cache of your site
Dashboard ->System & Settings->Optimization->Cache & Speed settings
Thanks

You get just bad advices, let a professional look at it! Just ignore the upgrade advice 5.6.2.1 is really good!
5numb3rs... While I agree with you that the upgrade is unlikely to speed up the site, it's always good advice to have a site as up-to-date as possible especially when upgrading takes about 30 seconds to do. I don't think this is the place to insult other, reputable volunteers in an effort to secure the fee.
Hey gang,
Just to chime in, I had Korvin look at this quickly yesterday and our 5
minute take is the theme is being inefficient building navs.
There's a big ol' mega menu slider thing, and with 2000+ pages its just
making things crawl.
You can tell this is the problem because when I copied a page and changed
the theme to plain yogurt, it's fast:
http://www.traveltoeasterneurope.com/index.php?cID(53...
I can almost guarantee you what's going on is this theme loads multiple
auto-nav trees (thus parsing your whole site's sitemap) for each page load.
Rebuilding those navs to be static, content blocks, or even auto-navs
configured to bring back part of the tree and not the whole tree would
likely do the job.
Upgrades and caching layers are all good advice, but this guy is beyond
that.
Hope that helps. This should be an easy win in a few hours of auto-nav
clean up and "hey cant we use a stack instead of 4 autonavs here" type
consulting.

This is the jobs board. Just react/pm when you want the job!
