* well, the questions is what media-value the other plugins (and theme) were loaded with in this specific case, so we’d need [@wasanajones](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wasanajones/) to share a URL 🙂 * Plugin Author [Robin W](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robin-w/) * (@robin-w) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slow-loading-46/#post-9613021) * great – thanks * Thread Starter [wasanajones](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wasanajones/) * (@wasanajones) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slow-loading-46/#post-9614883) * Hello – * I really appreciate the attention to this. * It just so happens the site is just about ready to promote so I can share the URL.. * [https://bikingpress.com](https://bikingpress.com) * GTMetrix with bbp style pack disabled [https://gtmetrix.com/reports/bikingpress.com/xxWZ40Um](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/bikingpress.com/xxWZ40Um) ( when you see how many plugins and images the site has 1.5 second page load is kinda impressive – thanks largely to autoptimize (plug for the plugin) * GTMetrix with bbp style pack enabled [https://gtmetrix.com/reports/bikingpress.com/ArA1Puul](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/bikingpress.com/ArA1Puul) * bbp style pack also deserves some praise too, the forums are just ugly without it so it is worth figuring this out… * it also occurred to me that I could set it up so that bbp style pack doesn’t load unless forum pages. I’ve played with different ways of doing that but not sure what would be best idea. * of course getting bbp style pack and autopimize playing together is best resolution * Thanks * [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slow-loading-46/#post-9615001) * I’m trying to see your site un-optimized by adding `?ao_noptimize=1` to the URL, but your page cache seems to disregard querystring paramaters [@wasanajones](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wasanajones/), could you (briefly) change that? * Thread Starter [wasanajones](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wasanajones/) * (@wasanajones) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slow-loading-46/#post-9615046) * please try now, I had Remove Query Strings From Static Resources plugin enabled * I’ve cleared autoptimize, cloudflare, and supercache caches * cloudflare on development mode * thanks * [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slow-loading-46/#post-9615098) * no, no dice, [https://bikingpress.com/?ao_noptimize=1](https://bikingpress.com/?ao_noptimize=1) still showing autoptimized HTML. can you check the * > Don’t cache pages with GET parameters.
