Thank you, I do use Yoast SEO but I will look at your link 🙂

I am so sorry I thought I replied to this!

Oh I see, that is a shame but yeah the experience gained I guess is certainly the postive to focus on!

Yes you are exactly right changing that has sorted it thank you!

I believe my site is now as perfect as ever and so I launched the social media a few hours ago (not told family or friends yet so no real followers haha). I registered yesterday mornign for google search console. However I am very concerned, my site pages seem to be buried so far down that they will never be clicked on, and it seems my meta description is not used on many of the search results….. Perhaps over time google will better crawl my site and it automatically updates? Or maybe I need to do something…. Somewhat anticlimactic launching but having no page views hahaha.,

Ahh I see ahhaha, well thats good to know, and does it take long to register like a week before I’m on google search, also will I then appear on bing and yahoo too?

Exciting. Right ill do google search engine today then 🙂 kinda scary being this close to completion after 10 hour days for months haha. thanks so much for your continued help throughout this journey bc workz 🙂

I have messaged optimole, they have said they couldn’t see any issues but I have now sent them screenshots so we will see what they suggest.

Damnit, I feel like its to do with Autoptimization plugin, but idk, basically when you click on my product on the shop page and scroll through the gallery images 50% of the time it will be blurry (mostly happens on mobile and its random when and which product it happens to). I have tried unchecking each box in autoptimization individually and clearing all cache and yet the issue persists….. not sure what has happened here…. I would love your advice thank you

So my site speed is still too slow. I think I need rendering to improve and I believe best way is with autoptomize, so I need to allow css optimization but when I do that I think it stops my additional css from working.

Can I get around this by hitting the exclude CSS button and entering all my additional css? This is the additional css

li.product .product-thumb-wrap::before {
    display: none !important;
}
.custom_item_img_link::before{
    content: " ";
	position: absolute;
	height: 100%;
	width: 100%;
	background: #fa6161;
    -webkit-transition: 0.4s ease-in-out;
    -moz-transition: 0.4s ease-in-out;
    -o-transition: 0.4s ease-in-out;
    transition: 0.4s ease-in-out;
    opacity: 0;
}
li.product:hover .custom_item_img_link::before {
    opacity: 0.8;
}
.custom_item_img_link::before {
    background: unset;
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 768px){
  .woocommerce .products.columns-4 li.product .card-product,
  .woocommerce .products.columns-3 li.product .card-product {
     width: 100%;
  }
 .woocommerce ul.products.columns-4 li.product,
 .woocommerce ul.products.columns-3 li.product {
    width: 100%;
  }
}
.woocommerce div.product div.images img {
    width: 100%;

Do I enter it all like that or it does say to enter commas between each CSS does that mean I should put commas between like each chunk? I will also untick the minify excluded CSS box, and hopefully I should have a faster site that still works as intended?

Thank you 🙂

I will now start looking up how to appear on google

Thats very interesting about the https, so what exactly will this help with? Is it sometimes people access my site through something other then https and it creates a slower page load time? I will deffo look into this thank you!

Amazing thank you so much! I have sorted it with your help woop woop. Basically. for each product I have 3 or 4 images what I do is find those images in my files, go onto photopea to convert it from png to jpg then I save it then I go onto kapwing to crop it to the right aspect ratio, and save it and then i go to tinyurl to shrink the file size to between 26-180kb, I have done 7 products as of writing this and intend to finish the rest today (its speeding up my site too as some image files where 5,000+kb). I had to disable autoptimization css otherwise my css code didn’t load properly, so I still have crappy rendering times but I will work on it somehow haha.

Tp plugins got back to me and send that hestia may not have the hooks required for a shop with images on the front page…. I am not sure whether to contact hestia and ask them about it….. id love to get my products on the shop page. I should probs try it without the tp plugin cos I think that would work, but I am too scared to disable it as soo much has been altered around it lol. we will see.

Thanks so much again!

Thanks for your reply to the previous question. I do wonder though, what is the correct aspect ratio? because I love the size (most) images appear on my shop page, but that’s a plugin making them that size or wp or something, so I’m not sure what the aspect ratio is that I want. and I cant go back and check the images or edit them in WordPress. Basically if we can figure out the desirable aspect ratio, I could go and edit all 60 images and then reupload them. (I will have to look up how to change aspect ratio or what it even is haha).
