Hello,
I’ve created my WP website using the Jevelin theme, but the performance is terrible, especially on mobile.
Google’s PageSpeed Insights is rating it 40/100 (in the worst category) and is recommending a few things to improve performance.
A lot of these are theme related (eg: “switch to a more efficient theme”) and it is also recommending I remove unused javascript and CSS (a lot of which is from Jevelin).
Is there anything that Jevelin can do regarding increasing the performance of my website?
I’m just looking for guidance as to what Jevelin-theme-specific things I can do in order to make my website usable.
Thanks,
IarlaHi there,
First, we recommend installing a plugin like Autoptimize to minify and compile all CSS/JS files.
Then you should install a page caching plugin like WP Super Cache to improve loading overall loadings speeds.
Let us know if those changes help!

Thanks for the help, I’ve fixed the problems by removing some unused JS.
Hi,
Two other questions regarding increasing the performance:
- In order to minimise Layout Shifts, I need to add a height and width attribute to the image in the header/nav bar, but I can’t find any options to do this in the WPBakery Page Builder.
- How do I add tags directly to images? I want to add ‘loading=”lazy”‘ but can’t figure out any way to add custom HTML directly to some image tags.
Thanks,
Iarla
Also, the site logo in my WPBakery Header does not have the alt-text in the image tag, even though I’ve added alt text to the media in WordPress. This issue is not present for any other images on the site, only in the header.
Thanks,
Iarla
Please note my domain has been updated, see the private information field for the new domain.
That is great!
About your questions:
- For the Layout Shifts, we can create a custom CSS which will set your header image width and height.
- For the lazy tags, we usually use performance plugins that add this functionality (like this one).
- Do you have the latest theme version installed? If yes we will need to create an update to fix that (alt tags for the header image)

Hi,
Apologies for the late reply, thank you for your advice.
I do have the latest theme installed, but the alt text for the image is not displaying in the header logo.
Also, how can I add alt-text for an icon that’s also a link (such as the social media buttons in the footer)? PageSpeed Insights is complaining that “Link text (and alternative text for images, when used as links)” is missing for the icons.
I can’t find any option for it in the page builder.
Updated log-in information is in the private field below if you need it.
Thanks,

Hi there,
We just created a beta version, which should fix the header missing alt issue:
Let us know if that works! 🙂
Regarding the social media icons we don’t use images there (only icon font), so it seems that the alt tag isn’t really needed.
Best regards,

Thanks very much, that’s working perfectly now!
One last issue, when I’m using the built-in animation feature of WPBakery Page Builder:
If I use a fade-in animation, the content briefly appears before turning invisible and then fading in.
This can be seen with the buttons at the end of emeraldsustain.com/about
The text of that page is using custom animations, but the buttons use the default WPBakery.
Any idea what could be causing this? I’ve noticed it in a couple of other places on my site too.
Thanks,
Iarla
That is great! 🙂
We added custom CSS code (in the theme settings), can you please test it now?
Works perfectly, thanks very much!
You are welcome! 🙂
