My client ran a Google Test and sent my results and a couple of things came back that I don't understand or know how to fix

Leverage browser caching - other that it makes sense how do I add that?

Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content - what is this and how do I fic it?

Thanks folks
Byron

Hi Byron,
Read these.

Thanks Eric!

I have read the articles recommended by Eric (thank you!).
From that I understand that generally browser caching is by file type, and site-wide.
Can you drop to a lower level - for example specific images or specific sections of text - some images are static, but some change frequently (weekly). I have a community site where "forthcoming events" are regularly changing, but other text and images remain the same for long periods..
Within the same website some entire pages are very static and some (like the Home page) change every few days. How does one handle this?
Thank you.
Nick

Hi,

I also get the same Google Page Speed Test Results which Byron mentions.

The Leverage Browser Caching was fixed using the method in the link supplied by Eric. Thanks for that :-).

I have a question on the Render Blocking issue?

Can I delete under the folder /css :
coffeegrinder.css
coffeegrinder.min.css
wireframe-theme.css
wireframe-theme.min.css

The file remaining on the server is :
main.css

I work with RSD v1.5 and don't use any themes.

Thanks a lot.
Anne

The files you want to delete hold the basic properties for the coffeegrinder system. If you delete them, I guess your site won't work, at least not be responsive.

Mind you, you probably don't need both the uncompressed and the compressed (the .min files) versions of the files. Find out which ones are being linked to in your html file and keep those.

Thanks Inger!

Hello all,
Having similar issue in regard to "Browser Leverage Caching" WI shows it is needed so went to http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/ … r-caching/ added to my .htacess file uploaded than cleared cached reloaded and than did WI check site again and STILL show that I need the "Browser Leverage Caching" ??? Should I have used Page Speed Leverage text that Eric showed above instead of the CC ?
