Hi Guys,
Does anyone have any times on getting a good score with page insights using OC3.0.3.6 and Journal3?
I've seen plugins that might help but none look to be compatible with Journal3
Journal is not supported on Opencart.com . Contact the extension developers to resolve these issues.Jane Blonde wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 11:51 pmHi Guys,

One could always create a Posting in the commercial Forum Sections,
if one looks for a Custom Job, regardless of the Theme or Extensions
used, to make a 'non Journal' Extension work with such Themes.

The best thing you can do is dump Journal and switch to a proper CSS only theme like: https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... n_id=36706Jane Blonde wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 11:51 pmDoes anyone have any times on getting a good score with page insights using OC3.0.3.6 and Journal3?

Nice simple theme, not sure I can convince my client on a complete theme rebuild though.paulfeakins wrote: ↑Wed Nov 11, 2020 7:05 pmThe best thing you can do is dump Journal and switch to a proper CSS only theme...
Well David, you could check on the online Test Sites, what still can be done,
to peak an OC Site to it's best. Should not be so hard, even I was able to,
and I'm really not a Dev!

Well, by comparing that giant 2'897 Liner Journal Page Source
with my compressed 7 Liner Page Source, it's relatively fast. 
But one could at least compress that Code, to make it a little more
efficient, by use of one of the Extensions available:
https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... load_id=36
https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... load_id=36

@IP_CAM that's very impressive scores, far better than I'm getting. I've already contacted Journal who are looking at it for me, if they can replicate those GT Metrix I'll be very happy.
Well, it might also depend on the Theme used, I just took a random one, to
make the Test. And it most likely also depends on additional Mods used. But
even more important are 'category'-related Tests, that's, what really counts
for Visitors.
Also be aware, that image-compression is a major factor, besides of compressing
the Code Source. I had at first to re-compress the large Banners again, I use on the
Site Front Page, to get it up from 93 to 100 percent again, because I probably cleared
out Image Cache by accident, and forgot, to take care of that again....
Compress the 'OC-cached' images as well as the OC-Originals, to get it done best.

This is a very good Tool for that, one can even upload bulkloads of images, to get 'em
done at once. And using xx.PNG images seems to make that easier, compared with
xx.JPG Images, they're loosing more on quality, as I found out.
https://www.picdiet.com/ (compress JPG's)
https://jpg2png.com/ (transform JPG's to PNG's)
Just don't forget, that ALL Images would have to be re-linked again, if they
have been 'renamed' from xxx.jpg to xxx.png, by all logics ...
In addition to those two fine tools, to optimize all your Scripts and Styles:
https://jscompress.com/
https://csscompressor.com/
And if you ever have to work again on compressed files, some nice tools
exist, to make 'em readable again:

Good Luck, Ernie
