The prompts
Prompt 1
I want to improve the performance of my WordPress website that uses the Divi Theme. My primary concerns are slow loading times and a high bounce rate. Analyze common performance bottlenecks in Divi websites, considering factors like image optimization, excessive CSS/JS, server response time, and caching. Provide a prioritized list of actionable recommendations I can implement to significantly improve my website's speed and overall user experience. Be specific, and include example plugins or techniques.
Prompt 2
Based on your previous assessment of Divi performance bottlenecks, let's focus on reducing the impact of CSS and JavaScript. Identify specific Divi modules or settings that contribute to excessive CSS/JS loading. Suggest alternative approaches or plugins that can minimize this overhead. For example, can I defer loading of certain scripts, or consolidate CSS files? Are there specific modules known for adding unnecessary bloat? Provide step-by-step instructions for implementing these optimizations within the Divi Theme settings or using recommended plugins, targeting a measurable reduction in page load time.
