I read to load third party script efficiently one needs: 

"Load the script using the async or defer attribute to avoid blocking document parsing."

Please advise how I can use one of these attributes to reduce (Google Tag Manger) blocking time.  Where I can add this code.

I agree. I will leave it at that. Thank you for the help and your patients. A true professional support team and a top level theme. 

Also, the recent June 20th Google update is reversing back march 2024 updates, now back to favoring larger inst. Its better to keep this project as a hobby :) I'm not creating anymore content. More than 40 of my number one posts have been superseded by low shallow, few lines content, from sites probably with 1000s of backlinks. I had close to 30 snippets number one articles its all gone with this update while I was fixing Google's speed performance. 

I changed all fonts to system fonts. I added back tag manger as i read if you remove it then it will effect monetization. 

Please refer to attached image, Core Web Vitals Assessment is still showing FAILED status for individual posts and for both mobile and desktop. I don't see anything else can be reduced apart from tag manger. 

Yes. Please how can I use system font and remove custom fonts.

The issue is with the rendering time of post's excerpt content. How do we reduce this rendering time?

Kindly advise. 

I have attached images to show the recent performance for (individual page) and the traffic drop from the 17th June. There is still a critical issue with the Core Web Vitals to result in such a drop in performance. As an alternative check to GA the hosting analytics is showing 30% drop since the 17th June.  

What I don't understand is how a highly designed theme and top of the line hosting company and best support in the world, its not possible to pass average scores for the Core Web Vital settings. Surly, google didn't set a high bar for CW Vitals and they provided a benchmark settings which is achievable. 

Even the image sizes I use are bare minimum I didn't even think it was possible to have such small file size. 

I cant put more effort, spend money and time using this theme unless the foundation is solid. Same with construction engineering if you don't have a solid foundation there is no point of continuing and putting a building on top. 

>>>>>> This is the response from the Hosting company: 

"Redis object caching is available for 100 USD per month, but if I'm seeing poor browser rendering scores even when the entire page is already served from a page cache, to me that means that Redis is really not going to be your solution here. Redis is more intended for speeding up PHP execution, but your scores are similar regardless of whether the page is cached or not an your average PHP response time (this is for requests that are not served from the page cache) is pretty good at about 0.5 seconds."

"Based on everything I'm seeing here I'm not seeing any issues from our side and it's mainly down to the browser taking too long to render the page, which is a function of the HTML and JavaScript used on the website, which is all code that is executed by the browser, not the server."

Kinsta provides with their plan. 

Edge Caching: Edge Caching stores your page cache in any of Cloudflare's 260+ point-of-presence (PoP) locations worldwide, increasing performance and website speed by up to 40%.

Server Cache: Cache makes your site load faster by storing site data. Clear it to make sure your site shows the most recent version.

*** Free CDN with the plan 100 GB /month I have only used 60MB. 

I will add the code. Thank you. And im planning to contact hosting support for the caching you recommended. Note I'm with Kinsta hosting.

I researched and got this response from AI:

"Kinsta already includes server-level caching in their hosting plans, so likely won't need to install Memcached or APC. Kinsta utilizes a combination of technologies, including Nginx fast_cgi_cache and Redis object caching, to optimize WordPress performance.
If you are experiencing specific performance issues or have been advised by Kinsta support to explore additional caching options, you could inquire about enabling Redis object caching on your plan. However, it is generally unnecessary for most WordPress sites hosted with Kinsta."

Thank you for the professional help and support. I will wait for the numbers to average out. 

My content is very high quality as I'm a civil engineer and I'm writing a bout topics I have expertise.Also, writing about countries I visited and lived there.

 I had more than half my articles reaching number one beating sites with high authority.

But for the past 4 days all my number one articles have fallen and I have only 20 number ones. My traffic dropped 80%. All my hard work is gone in four days. 

you mentioned item 3 the theme comes with the delay feature. But earlier you mentioned the JS delay is not working for single posts. I'm confused now if the theme comes with delayed JS feature than this is a good thing. WHY it's not working for single posts. Please advise what is the solution. As I want to resolve this issue my site is been hit hard due to this. 

Please elaborate more to clarify item 2. I don't understand what I need to do after adding the code foe item 1.

Thank you 

Or I go for option 3: I subscribe to the premium option of W3 Total Cache I see they have the feature of delaying JS. Its expensive as my site is not making any money cents per day. Its more than $140 Canadian dollar. I have worked very hard for this site five months of day and night work. 

I don't know what to do which of the three options to choose? I only trust your advice. 

Thank you so much. This improved the score a lot. But its still showing Core Web Vitals Assessment FAILED for both Mobile and desktop. 

please refer to attached image. This is the response I got from AI. Is this a solution that wont break my site? 

How can I delay the GA code? Is there a way to set the delay. 

My site performance is showing these error messages. Refer to attached image. What can I do to improve the performance, I have only the necessary min plugins and all images been downsized. I don't know what else to do. Please advise what can I do. 

Thank you very much you are the best! 

Hopefully other users can benefit from this thread. 

Kindly recommend a plugin works with the theme for changing images to WebP format. Its mentioned in the literature it could reduce image size by up to 50% and could boost Performance. 

I see W3 Total Cache offering with the pro plan, WebP convertor among other increased pro features. 

What to do to increase performance?

P.s I need to keep google-analytics to monitor what people are reading.  

Its already turned on Delay Google Ads.

Shall I remove anything from this list?

You are an angel....thank you and god bless. 

They replied to your recommendation W3 Total Cache the following: 

"You can use that one on our platform, however, I would not recommend using an additional layer of cache but you can use it for the other functionalities"

I installed the W3 Total Cache and I see there is instructions how to setup in the documentation. I followed it. This excellent you have covered this in the documentation,.

Please help do we need any of the pro features: Remove unused CSS/JS, Preload Requests, Delay Scripts. 

The host provided an article for any of the theme users here, may want to read. https://kinsta.com/blog/w3-total-cache/

Dear Support, I have changed host and I moved my site from Hotsinger to Kinsta. New host don't allow LightSpeed cache, I have noticed drop in performance. I wrote to the support they mentioned to use https://wp-rocket.me/ and they asked me to check with theme developer.

Please see attached images. 

Kindly advise if this is a good caching plugin and its compatible with the theme.

If you are familiar with Kinsta hosting platform do you have any recommendations or suggestions as to what needs to be installed to enhance performance of this theme. 

Thank you so much.
