Hi,

Since the last update I installed I found out that the header loading time is really long.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm losing visitors because of the long loading time.

I figured out it had noting to do with the background movie because when I change that to just images (like the demo on this website) there is no difference in loading time.

Who can help me?

Kind regards

Hi,

Try to edit StoreFront/js/gk.scripts.js file and change the line (350):
Code: Select all
}, 400);

and decrease the value.
Try also decrease the value from line 445

Thank you for replying.

I changed it to 50 and 100 but nothing changes.
The funny thing is that the first time the page is loading it takes a really long time to load the header.
The second and so on time you visit the website its fast.

Hopefully there is another way.

Thanks again for working on a solution.

Hi,

Yes, the first time is usually longer, because next time most elements (images, movie etc.) are cached by your browser.

Generally, your website weight is 45 MB :)

so it's not possible to load it faster.
