"Pagelines Compiled CSS" is taking a second just "waiting" and is almost 200k in size? That's huge for a CSS file, no?

Did you try adding the code from the other post you commented in?

[lakersalex]

no what does it do?!

[Simon_P]

Its tells the framework to use a file instead of a dynamic url for the css, so its written to an actual css file which can be cached by the browser/cdn/isp/moonbase whatever.

As you suggested, I added this line of code to

Is there something else going on?

Your server might not be compatible, enable debug mode under the advanced tab

[lakersalex]

debug enabled.

[Simon_P]

No reason there why it shouldn't work, where did you add the define line?

[lakersalex]

in wp-config.php at the bottom of the file.

[Simon_P]

ok, right at the bottom? Below the do not edit below this line?

[lakersalex]

looking closely now.

Here's the bottom of the wp-config.php file:


/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

I had originally pasted the code below these lines. now I just pasted the line above the line that reads


/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

[Simon_P]

Yes its working now

[lakersalex]

thanks, the css file is still nearly 200k. Is that normal?

[Simon_P]

200k is fine. Its loaded once and stored, thats the idea.

[lakersalex]

i see. tests now range between 3 and 6 seconds now. it is faster for sure. anything else I could be doing? I checked the box to Enable CSS minification
