home page is too slow

My homepage is about 1MB but it takes about 8seconds to for open it. I installed total cache but it's still too slow. What could be the problem?

Weird that all pages except homepage work okay. My provider said servers work fine. Looks like homepage issue. But I'm not sure.

Haha. Sorry. I found the cause of problem. Caching was disabled for authenticated users. When I log off, page loads immediately.

Great to hear that the issue is solved, make sure that you've optimized your slider images.

Looks like they all loaded when homepage loads. Not before show slide. Right?

BTW, how can I replace this slider to one of slider plugins?

If you want to replace the slider, you have to edit template.frontpage.php file and change the content of this container:

Code: Select all

<div id="gk-header-mod">


Can I use shortcodes here? I am using this plugin: https://www.kadencethemes.com/slider-comparisons/

It can be used as text widget with shortcode [cadence_slider_pro id="1"] but how to put this into your php template?

Try to use do_shortcode function:

Code: Select all

echo do_shortcode( '[cadence_slider_pro id="1"]' );
