You have a lot of very large images on your home page. It “weighs” 10.5MB. You should look at ways to reduce that — use images no larger than absolutely needed and, perhaps, a plugin like “smush” https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/search/smush to create more optimized images.
Hello Steve,
THANK YOU for you prompt attention.
I had previously installed SMUSH but had never smushed each individual image. I just did so.
Granted, the images are weighty. That I knew but I am not certain as to the best way to lighten them. Can you please advise where I find my total (Homepage) weight that you read as 10.5 MB? If I go into each individual Homepage slideshow image, will scaling down each image lighten the load or . . . ? Or may I change the Homepage borders in Beaver Builder?
Thank you again.
Steven
I used the “network” tab in Chrome’s inspector. When you load a page, it tells you on the bottom the total data transfer necessary to render the page.
See https://cldup.com/u_UNHwGrvVr/3RFg8P.png
I’ve never used the smush-type plugins — give them a try and see if you think the images look OK.
Steve,
I’ve ‘smushed’ all images but the savings is quite insignificant as you now see in your attachment. What would you suggest to cut the weight of slideshow images?
Steven
I think they are what they are. I don’t find you site slow, BTW.
Odd, Steve. When I go to my site in Safari, the homepage requires as much as 20-30 seconds to open!
Dear Steve,
Forgive my persistence, but one more question and then I will leave you in peace . . .
With this same website’s (jewishitaly.net) page, CONTACT US, the Contact Form’s field comes up yellow. Why is that and how can I change this? This is quite strange since, only yesterday following a correspondence ad infinitum first with Ninja Forms and then with Beaver Builder (a bug they just corrected with their new version), we finally got this form to appear. Whatsmore, once upon a time when the form did actually work, this yellow did not appear. And since the color is the same as that used in my website lacornucopiaitalia.com’s background, I believe the form was simply copied and pasted from that site.
Can you please advise or can we use another form with a non-colorer background? May I send you the admin details?
Thank you.
Steven
input[type="text"]:focus, input[type="email"]:focus, input[type="url"]:focus, input[type="password"]:focus, textarea[name="mn-message"]:focus, textarea:focus {
background: #fff;
}
makes the background white when the field has focus.

Steve,
Please excuse my late response. Only a few hours ago I read your last reply. And please excuse my ignorance! Once I am into Additional CSS, where do I past the html command you have given?
Steven
There’s only one place to paste stuff under “Addtional CSS”, so paste it in there. 🙂
I am sorry but I don’t see any one place!!😩

Steve,
Ecco fatto! THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH!! I never even saw the below boxes—so bloody faint—in the Additional CSS page. An additional touch in knowing WP (even though my patience for this stuff is very thin.)
THANK YOU AGAIN. All seems to be in order now.
Steven
