Hi Björn

Thanks for your insight on how to speed up a website. I too have often viewed Simon Kloostra's website - great tips. I have not used JCHoptimize Pro although have heard good things but also that it can mess up an existing website. Would think its better when starting a new website?

Lynda

Download the free version of JCH optimize and try out.
There are 6 settings from low to optimum, with our old website I could not get further than average, otherwise the site was broken.
You have to try and start from the low and then upwards (on a test website of course ;-) ).
However test it together with Jotcache, then you get really high results.
The best settings of JCH are reseved for the pro version of course.

Thank you very much for sharing those tips, Björn!
I already see that it is helpful for the other users as well

Now, a little information from me:

1. I have never used Jotcache so I cannot comment on that.

2. I also love Simon Kloostra's website (JoomlaSEO.com). I learned a lot from him and I used a lot of his advises while optimizing InspireTheme.com

3. InspireTheme.com as well as all our template demos are optimized with JCHoptimize Pro. InspireTheme.com uses the "Deluxe" option (just to be save), while our demos use the "Premium" option. See the attached screenshot, it is from the Paradise demo, but it is the same in all our demos
This means that if you are not using any other 3rd party extensions, if you are using only the stuff that comes with our templates by default, then you should be able to use the "Premium" option and everything should work just fine.
However, as Björn mentioned above, configuring such "Optimization" extensions (JCH Optimize, RokBooster, etc) is basically a trial and error. It depends a lot on what extensions you are using and what assets (JS, CSS) those extensions load.

Thank you once again for sharing this information Björn

You're welcome.
Give Jotcache a try, together with JCHOptimize it's really great.
By one click it also adds everything necessary to your htaccess.
On JoomlaSEO there are articles about combining JCH and Jotcache (I only had to exclude the contact form from Jotcache, otherwise it's not working).

On our website we use JoomGallery, SH404SEF, Easybook reloaded, K2 and Fox Contact and at least right now everything is working.

Awesome!
Have a great weekend mate

Hi guys,

I, too, use JCH Optimize, but I am having some issue (mobile).
Should I exclude some files (css, js, script or styles)? Do you have any tips that you'd like to share?
Obviously, if I disable the plugin everything works.

I still have to find the optimal configuration.

Thank you very much.

Hi Claudio,

I don't know if you have made any changes, but your website looks perfectly fine on my end (on mobile)
I also see that JCH Optimize is enabled.

Apart from the above, I don't really have any advice.
You know, such optimization extensions (and their configuration) are always trial and error until you find the settings that work best.

Hello Ivo,

I have tested my domain using various online website, speed testing tool, and found that the speed score of the domain is good at the moment.
Current page size of the domain is 1.27 MB, about. Only "Google Pagespeed" have low result.
Which one is most important? However is true, they are always trial and error until ... you go crazy.

Thanks

Your page load time is much too slow, have you tried JCH Optimize?
You should get at least 80 if not much more with your website on Google pagespeed, both in desktop and mobile.

Hi, thank you for the reply

yes, I use JCH Optimize and I installed Jotcache. I'm getting good results.
Only Page Speed Insights has a low score (desktop). I'm not worried, I ask myself why is different.

Hey Claudio,

In my opinion your results are pretty good
I never knew why the different tools show different results but I don't really care.
And this is my advice for you - since you already have very good scores, just don't do anything else and enjoy life

Hi everyone,

I'm running a new Joomla 4 website, Oxygen Template, JCH Optimize is installed and I'm getting poor performance.

PageSpeedInsight:
mobile phone 37%
desktop 79%

Does anyone have experience optimizing this configuration?

Try to disable JCH Optimize and run the tests again, it is probably contraproductive with Joomla 4.
There was a discussion about this on Facebook.

The performance with JCH an without JCH is the same

Do you know where on Facebook the discussion was?

Facebook Group Joomla D-A-CH, so the german speaking group.

Thank you, I found it now there.

I have sent a ticket to JCH Optimize support to clarify that.
