Since I've installed Salient (October 4th, 2018), my website speed has gone much slower. I ran speed tests with Google PageSpeed, Pingdom and GTMetrix and the results used to be good with my previous theme. FYI, I've not done any other major change than switching to Salient.
Please advise what should be done to fasten the performance of the site.
I have followed your recommendation and activated the W3 Total Cache plugin + implemented your detailed guide settings.
The result: my site is either very slow, or crashes because W3 Total Cache plugin is not compatible with most of the optimization plugins I used with my previous theme (which allowed a good site performance before I installed Salient).
Now, my previous optimization settings are useless and the ones you recommended don't seem to work either. My site performance is now worth than when I used a WordPress theme from 2014.
Please provide an alternative solution, such as the optimization plugins I need to use (or not use) along with the specific settings to ensure the site performs well. Thank you.
You can use any plugins that work on your hosting environment to achieve the best results possible. The Recommendation Provided is for Generic users only.
