Ask a Question

After I create a page using Nicepage, the page source includes the entire animate.css -http://daneden.me/animate
this makes up lines 30 - 14289 of the html source.

This seems like overkill to me! I understand you're using certain functions of animate, but it's causing unnecessary bloat.

And it's not minified which affects page load time and SEO.

Please fix.

Hi Marcus,

Thank you for your reply.
We will take your remarks into account and we want to assure you, that our developers are constantly working on optimizing the generated HTML/CSS code but there are some technical difficulties to make it as small and clean as manually created code.

Hi Elena,
I appreciate that getting page load times fast is difficult. The good news is this one should be very easy to fix.
Audit the animate code and create an "animate-lite" library which only has the parts Nicepage actually uses. Minify it and drop it in where the old one was.

I was impressed your developers elected to include the library in the header instead of linking to it - this would certainly improve load times, and backs up what you're saying about your developers being serious about speed.

I have several other speed related concerns with nicepage and will create separate posts for each of them.

Hi Marcus,

This behavior is typical for cases when you're using Nicepage content with not Nicepage theme. In this case, all CSS is located in the page source because usually, CMS content does not have its own CSS files. But we'll investigate how we can improve this part in the future.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.
