Problem with new blogs site speed, content not visible until scrolling

[Davit1985]

Hi everyone.

I just added a blog to my site, and today uploaded a new post. But here is my problem:

1st content is not visible until i scroll down. then it appears in like 2-3 second or so. I checked the google page speed Mobile 73, desktop 86 seems to be not great but ok in my opinion.

Can someone please look into it and help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Please don't judge the article it is not done yet. Once i noticed the problem i decided to find the solutions before continuing:)

thanks in advance

Hi there

It looks like the server time to get the document is what's taking so long.

I would go through Google's Interpret Site Speed resource and go through their tips there.

When you look at your PageSpeed Insights report, you will notice they give your pointers and resources on how to fix issues. I recommend starting there.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi Patrick I completely agree that it seems to be the server response time, but how do I fix that? My site uses ipage for the server and the rest of the site has no server response time error. Also I am confused about the scrolling issue. Even Google page speed shows a snapshot of the page that is empty( no content). I am not sure where to find the answers.

Hi there

Take a look at the Fetch As Google tool. It will give you a snapshot of how Google sees the content on your site. You can learn more about the tool and how to diagnose your results here.

It also seems that iPage has a SuperBoost plan, but if it's an issue with the way your site is laid out, Google will tell you that and you may not have to look into such a thing.

Hope this helps!

Hi there,

Are you able to temporarily disable the 'Who we are' sidebar widget and confirm that the content of the page reappears without scrolling? Troubleshooting could then be targeted specifically towards this widget.

Of course, if my hunch is wrong and it's not the sidebar widget just disable and re-enable widgets one by one until you find the culprit  

Good luck!

Hi Chris, I just disabled the widget you suggested and nothing changed.But I like how you think.  I also deactivated some plug ins as well and nothing. I guess i will have to get another theme maybe that will solve the problem.

Ah, that's a shame.... Was worth a go.
The thing I hate about Wordpress is that the most unlikely plug-in's or themes can cause unexpected issues. At the same time however it's great that it's so easy to temporarily switch things around without losing any work or vast amounts of time in order to try to pinpoint the cause of the issue.

Sorry I haven't been of any help but, again, goodluck!

Switched the theme, problem solved. Thanks everyone
