Wordpress hosting

jamesbil

Hi all,
I currently use wordpress for my website along with woocommerce.
My hosting provider recently advised upgrading to wordpress hosting package.
All he could tell me really is the availability of Litespeed Caching for WordPress hosting plans.
is it worth paying extra for? I read somewhere about doing it with plugins?
Any advice welcome
Thanks
James

Oh yeah, a link to the site would be good too.

jamesbil

thats disabled at jamesbillingsfurniture.com

daymobrew

It looks like the url in Settings/General has http instead of https.
Change that (it will log you out when you Save) and it'll be a good step towards not needing Really Simple SSL.

I'm heading out for a walk but will check when I get back.

http://jamesbillingsfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/cropped-untitled-7-1.png is loaded over http.
Is this your logo?
Fixing it is probably as simple as setting it as the logo again.
(You may have to upload it again).

This was on the home page. All the other pages seemed fine.

jamesbil

ok, really simple ssl is disabled and I updated the address to https in settings/general
however i'm still getting a not secure message in the address bar, no padlock symbol

jamesbil

also not showing product images or homepage logo. If really simple ssl is on its all ok

jamesbil

ive switched it back on in case I get any visitors

jamesbil

So as far as I can work out auto optimise and w3 total cache are messing things up.
When they are activated my homepage logo disappears as do all my product images in "store"

Think I've fixed the ssl issue. Looked at my cpanel details, address wass http: so I changed it to https:

Go here and follow step 6 onwards to properly setup your ssl and then check for any mixed content and how to fix it.

Have you tried activating one at a time?
Is it possible that those plugins have cached stuff from before you made the Site Address change?

I have tried one at a time.
And yes they did cache before I made the address change.

Is the SSL all sorted now?

only because I turned on really simple ssl
I have mixed content without it.

Even after you cleared the Autoptimize and W3 Total Cache caches?

The .htaccess code should help. I use it on my sites:

IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://jamesbillingsfurniture.com/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>

I tried adding that but my site wouldn't work with it. If I did it right.
I went to cpanel/filemanager/my site then right click and edit to add it.

Did you go through this?

As far as I could, tho now I think I was looking at the wrong .htaccess file.
Should it be the one in public html?

Step 7 (really simple ssl works.)

daymobrew

jamesbil wrote: »

Yes, the one in public_html. The one with the WordPress rules:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Thanks,
So I guess disable really simple ssl plugin, then do this?

jamesbil

Like this?
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://jamesbillingsfurniture.com/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

jamesbil

Ok that seems to be working, with no mixed content issues!

Now I need to improve minify and expires headers

jamesbil

In the waterfall tab of gtmetrix this file is very slow to load
https://jamesbillingsfurniture.com/?wc-ajax=get_refreshed_fragments

any ideas?

Graham

Rodolfo Melogli has a good overview of get_refreshed_fragments here:

That explains it well thanks. Ill leave it enabled for now.

Do you think I should use a cdn now?

Graham

I would at this point, you can still refine again later if you need to.

jamesbil

Ok, something strange going on.

Cleared my browser cache. My website now says not secure. If I add the code to the .htaccess file it still says not secure and my logo disappears as do all product images in /store.
Checked it in chrome and ms edge

M.T.D

This image is being served as http

other versions of your logo that do not seem appear on the page are

jamesbil

Thanks,
I'm having trouble finding that. In media all my logos url start with https
