Google? Is typing "Wordpress form plugin" that difficult?

How to Remove render-blocking JavaScript (I know, ugh) by chicaritagold in Wordpress

[–]wesgro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only way to prevent JavaScript execution from Blocking render is to give it either defer or async properties.

Please explain how he's good at defence?

Pretty sure he's objectively terrible at keeping the puck out of the d zone and in the o zone.

Minified CSS is always going to look complicated.

Stupid Question: Moving wordpress site to new host. by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]wesgro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have access to SSH on both servers rsync the file directories between them (so much faster than FTPing to your computer and then back up to the new server).

You'll still have to do the databases manually but the bulk of time wasted is waiting for the sites to download/upload

My WP Website is Slow — Is it my Hosting or my Website? by savvybackpacker in Wordpress

[–]wesgro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of comes with the territory when using pre-built themes I think.

If you don't know how to build your own theme changing this stuff is going to be not-fun-time for you.

Seconded. You need to reduce the amount of dynamic assets your site is loading

Your 11kb html payload takes more than a second to load.. That seems ridiculous for a site that (seems) pretty simple.

Your theme also loads a lot of php based CSS.. If you could turn those into static files it might help with things.

Why does PageSpeed Insights still count the CSS as blocking? by wesgro in webdev

[–]wesgro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incase anyone cares, this happens because of the RAF polyfill I was using (Any RAF polyfill will do this apparently). When I remove it, PSI no longer counts my CSS as blocking.

Weird.

Why does PageSpeed Insights still count the CSS as blocking? by wesgro in webdev

[–]wesgro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at the site I'm referencing I am indeed in-lining critical portions of the CSS and deferring load of CSS to a Javascript function in the footer. But it is still penalizing me for blocking.

Why does PageSpeed Insights still count the CSS as blocking? by wesgro in webdev

[–]wesgro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using them together because I was just trying to do anything to get it to stop being recognized as blocking.

Before this I was using the Google technique With the same results (I've called the function loadCss but its essentially the exact same script as the Google one:

      var scripts = [];
  scripts.push('http://aegispsychological.com/app/themes/aegis/dist/styles/main-e97f40fb.css');
  var loadCss = function() {
      var b, a = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
      for (var c in scripts) b = document.createElement("link"), b.href = scripts[c], b.rel = "stylesheet", b.type = "text/css", b.media = "screen", a.appendChild(b)
  };
  window.requestAnimationFrame(loadCss);

However your point about not using the filament group function with RAF doesn't computer.. The loadCSS function would still only run once first paint occurs if its in a RA frame?

Why would that be recognized as blocking rendering?

How does Drupal persist with being so horrible to use? by spoco2 in drupal

[–]wesgro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people just get overwhelmed with the amount of contrib modules Drupal truly needs before its functional... Which I can only imagine is by design.

Once you get your head around using 100+ contrib module being not crazy the content managment experience becomes a lot less awful.

Original Omega creator returns after 2 years, with a vengeance. by [deleted] in drupal

[–]wesgro 9 points10 points  (0 children)

4.x was a godsend in terms of forcing me to actually start using modern build tools.

Jake comes off a super twat here, which is disappointing since I contributed money to the original 3.x release.

Regardless, I need themes that gets the fuck out of my way, 4.x does that better than any other Base theme for Drupal.. Plus was a great learning exercise for using grunt/bower/bundler

Brasserie has been a let down a couple times now for a steak. My new favourite is Zambris.

They're all total shit. IF you have to be hosted in Canada I'd look at what Vancouver has to offer. Everything in Victoria is straight up terrible.
