Hi all,
I am currently having issues with a site that I have recently been developing www.touchtight.com . We use Roksprocket for many of our images, yet our loading time is very slow indeed (10-15 seconds). Many users are dropping off as a result and we just need to identify what is the best way to reduce page loading speed, do we delete all Roksprockets and replace with standard images in layout (lots of work) or other alternative.
Yes it is image heavy, but we have compressed what are small images down to size. I have enabled gzip compressed cache and using conservative cache etc. I have read about installing rokbooster, but have also read this has broken sites. My developer has created overrides for templates and we are using gantry 5 and have modified extensions to fit into what is required on the site and so I do not want to go fishing to change many things (code/back end wise), as i know i will break something. Dev is off for 2 weeks so seeking help.
If anybody could please have a look at the site and recommend suggestions for reducing speed, as this is having a real impact on users.
Thanks again,
Leon

P.S I have looked through some of teh pages on here and found suggestions on Rokbooster and so need to confirm what people think is best.

- I think the problem are the images you have over 12MB of images on the site... try add all those trough this: tinypng.com/ and let me know then how it goes ...

Thanks for this Damir,
I have many images that I am not using at the moment, so they are just in the background in media on Joomla. Will these impact on the site or is it just the images that are published on the site (displayed front end?)
Could you also let me know what the best way to do this might be? Do I need to locate all images I have used excess of 200 on my own Mac, delete old images from site and upload new after running through 'tinypng'.
Sorry for what might be basic questions.
Leon

- First make a backup of the images! Then download only the ones you are using and go trough tinypng and then just upload them back up and override them ... and that's it!

Thanks Damir,
Sounds simple enough. Is there an easy way to download all images onto computer, at least then I don't need to search on Mac. Not using local host, using host cpanel access.
I've done an akeeba backup, at the moment I am finding name of images in media manager, then locating this through searching on mac, uploading to tinypng which sorts images out and then deleting each image instance and replacing with new image.
Is there maybe an easy way to see which images have been published and which are not. I have hundreds of images in many different folders, many are older images and so it will be difficult to identify those not being used.
Thanks again,
Leon.
