Hello Devs,
We had optimized website a lot but still we found it takes lot of time while loading site. If we come from google to website it teaks lot time to load around 12 sec also opening categories page it took around 10 secs. Only product pages are fast.
We are currently using WP Super Cache as our hosting supported told us this will works better with their server and also using cloudflare with it.
The GTmetrix says 4-5 sec but the browser telling us different story. Please watch the video given in private content.
Before creating this thread We had gone thru your post where you had mentioned best optimization settings
https://www.8theme.com/topic/fixing-pagespeed-issues-once-and-for-all-could-apply-to-all-8themes-themes/#post-141010
But it just improved page speed score and reduced number of req but load time increased to 34 sec O.o
the both report comparison are also given below, The first with Super cache which takes 4 sec and the second is W3 which takes 34 sec but while viewing waterfall we found that with w3 31.32 sec is initial waiting time but why????
Please suggest us better solution so we can take load time under 3 sec in real world not just on paper.
Also we have one more issue on Categories page we are showing 40 products per page but we want to give option so people can select 40,80 or all products but when we enable this from theme option and change from 40 to 80 then page will never reload again and gives cloudflare 520 error so please suggest one solution for this also.
