Thanks pankajsharma. I do not think this will cut it. I can change the image but what I want is to just have no image. It slows down the download time. I am trying to optimize so the site will load faster.

need to closer look into the css for removing it permanently 🙂
or you can add this code in by creating the custom.css file in template/custom.css

body, .fixel-grid, #fixel-placeholder {
background-image: none;
}

@ekaup can you PM me the admin credentials of your site .

To which background image are you referring?

If you are referring to the grey pattern background surrounding the main content area of your site,
here is what you can try . . . .

If you haven’t done so already, create a new file called “custom.css” within file path –> /templates/ja_fixel/css

Within that new file, place the following CSS rule:


body, .fixel-grid, #fixel-placeholder {
background-image: none;

}

SAVE CHANGES – CLEAR CACHE – REFRESH PAGE

You should now only be left with a grey background color – which is merely a CSS color hex code and not an actual image.

Does this help ??

HI @ekaup
As i can see the slow loading of your site is not only coming from the background gray image , Also there are some images (large size ) makes the page heavy and some external javascripts .
I saw you are using an old version of T3 framwork plugin.
I recommand you to update it .
In the updates version you can edit the php/css and .less file from the template options as well as you can compress the java script files .
here is the an report of your site home page .

You can decrease the page size/load time by the updated t3 .
I also request you to use compressed jpg images to decrease the page size .
here are some online image compression tool
1. link
2. link
Please take a backup of your site before updating the T3 plugin or doing any custom changes .

Hope it helps

Thanks Tom. This helps. It cuts the downloald time from 7.56 sec to 4.09. I still have a long download time though. Would like to cut it down more.
This css file is taking a long time: css-bcc50.css don´t know what this one does.
Should I replace all the png images with jpeg or something else?
Thanks so much Tom. You are always on the spot 🙂

Halidor . . . . to better identify that particular CSS file/rule, temporarily set “Optimize CSS” to “No/Off” within your Template Manager–General settings . . . and then look again.

(I assume you’re using an online web development tool – such as FIREBUG – to identify CSS within your site – yes??)

Hey pankajsharma, thanks for your time. I know the images are taking a long time to download.
There is a problem when I try to update the T3. “Unknown Archive type
Update path does not exist”. Do you know what could be the problem?
Cheers
