Updated Settings
New Steps 5 & 6: Following the 1st week of testing with the above settings, the speeds were ridiculously slow. From a close review, it looks as though there were clashes, so I’ve turned off a number of features:
- Minify CSS
- Combine CSS
- Combine JS
- Gzip
- Disable Emojis
Steps 7 & 8: The final step is to clear the cache by clicking the Delete Cache sub-menu, then the Delete Cache button.
