Tips to Improve Website Performance

Here are some recommended practices to optimize your website's performance:

  • Hosting: Opt for an SSD-based VPS over shared hosting for better resources.
  • PHP & MySQL: Ensure you're running PHP 7.4 or newer and MySQL 5.6 or higher. Contact your hosting provider for updates.
  • Caching: Use a reliable cache plugin like WP Fastest Cache. Test your site thoroughly after configuration.
  • Speed Optimization: Enhance loading times with plugins like Flying Pages.
  • Image Optimization: Compress images with a plugin like Imagify.
  • CDN: Use a CDN service to deliver content faster and more efficiently.

RealHomes Specific Cache Configurations

When configuring cache for RealHomes, keep these points in mind:

  • JavaScript Files: Do not combine JavaScript files; RealHomes loads scripts dynamically based on various settings, which can lead to errors if combined.
  • Cookies: RealHomes uses cookies like realhomes_current_currency. Ensure your cache plugin excludes pages using these cookies, or ask your hosting provider to handle this if using managed hosting like WPEngine.

Using a Child Theme

To ensure smooth updates of the parent theme, we strongly recommend using a child theme. The main theme package (rh-main-package.zip) downloaded from ThemeForest includes a ready-to-use child theme (realhomes-child.zip).

Updating the Theme

RealHomes supports auto-updates within the WordPress dashboard. If you're updating from an older version, refer to this knowledge base article for detailed instructions.
