Thanks to Kirby and a few tweaks we got it blazingly fast, which ultimately shows both in high interactions and good conversions.
as @sdoering , I would also like to see a demo of the panel, or at least screenshots, including the available blocks, etc.
I am looking for themes that can be used as a base from where to build relatively simple standard websites, unlike other more specific sites that we start from scratch.
The latin right now is placeholder text, hoping to have the better writeups by tomorrow.
Any advice on how I could optimize the images? They’re set to resize to 1400px wide, and also have lazy-load attributes on them, using the lozad.js plugin.
You also have a bunch of commented out code on that page, with alot of images in. As far as i know browsers still parse that, even though its not displayed. If its old, delete it.
In addition to exporting those JEPGs at 80%, (if you’re on a mac) try an app like https://imageoptim.com/ or - if you’re not on a mac - one of these alternatives: ImageOptim alternatives for Windows and Linux. I took your ‘01-cover-1440x.png’ with 1.2mb and was able to downsize it to 53kb at a very respectable outcome.
I like the simple design and your works are also superb But you really need to fix your image size problem - the website is unusable in this state. Good suggestions from @jimbobrjames or @tojai about the tools mentioned. Me personally like the imageoptim app on mac - its a true lifesaver. For Web Images most times i use jpg exported from Photoshop at 60-70% quality.
Hi! We’ve just launched our website proudly supported by Kirby: https://pavilion.bezalel.ac.il/en
It’s an academic student-run project of a temporary pavilion in the city center of Jerusalem, sponsored by the Bezalel academy.
The website is in three languages – English, Hebrew and Arabic – and Kirby helped us achieve that and manage it seamlessly. Absolute pleasure. Thanks!
Nice site, i like projects like that.
Just to let you know there’s a bug: The video in the header just plays for about one fraction of a second and stops, tested on Chrome and Firefox. Reload (for example Strg + R) has no effect besides the video now acts like a still image. If I switch browser tabs and return to that site without reloading the video just runs fine.
But you really need to fix your image size problem - the website is unusable in this state. Good suggestions from
