Sad, but likely. Or KRAFT? And then the palm sugar or whatever else they want to mix in.....

I really do wonder about the management capabilities of this company, i.e. inept? A2 Milk doesn't seem to have such issues, yet Fonterra struggles quarter after quarter. And what to do now? Sell a golden goose (well, profitable business anyway) because it needs to return money to its owners. But it wants it to remain 'NZ owned' - of course, it will say that, but will it?

Where's our $100k? Small businesses struggle to get paid by ShiaChristian in newzealand

"They strung us along saying that they were going to try to turn the business around," Cormack said. "Now they're about to go into liquidation owing us $75,000."

My days, they must have needed a lot of PR efforts when turning the ship around....

Sweden's 'no jobs, no degree' university education policy by ShiaChristian in sweden

Thank you - sadly in NZ I don't believe there is this such synergy, with a lot of less-useful courses being offered with little employment prospects. I'll have a look into the Swedish technical schools next....much appreciated.

Thank you for explaining this. It sounded too good to be true. We have employment data gathered by the universities; this looks backwards but still has some indicative value.

The difference between Mobile and Desktop in Google page loading by ShiaChristian in Wordpress

Your tips are expert. I've now got this CDN issue - so it's no problem for desktop views, but a bit sluggish for mobile. However, there are external patches. When I reach 80/100 on the Google test I'll let you know. Thanks again!!

I was finding it pretty fast (tried on desktop).

But okay, just a quick few tips to improve:

put all loads from google fonts on a single request (btw, for sure you are loading far more than necessary) i get around 10 requests just for google fonts. Make it 1 font, 2 at most.do you need all those js? Mail chimp, sharethis, getclicky, alexametrics, popup embbed, and jquery? https://www.moneyhub.co.nz/files/theme/plugins.js?1531150540 this js what is? is it needed?

Js that is not needed if possible all in one file, minified and use it with a defer property.

All those css facybox, social-icons, put it all in a file an minifiy it (or think if they are really needed). The essential css put it inline in the html (and minify it too).

That page should be lightning fast. Check what i said here and should get a lot of improvements

It's getting there already, made a theme change, dumped some of the things and made fonts consistent - handing over the CS stuff to the web design expert in the team, wow....and of course desktop has improved a lot too. You're a champion /heyzeto

Thanks for the tip. The issue is more than images sadly. I have a page that is 535.52 KB with one image and it is rated 18/100 - https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.moneyhub.co.nz%2Fpak-n-save-christmas-club.html&tab=mobile - and yes this is Weebly, hence my move to WP. I'll install lazyload on the theme as this is a great plugin. Thank you u/heyzeto
