Wordpress LScache Plugin: Jumpy first load
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Report#: VYOSAQRO Hi I have a problem. When the site is loading it looks like im getting a stale page that doenst look that good, then it goes to a white screen and then it loads the page well. How can i remove, or at least reduce, this jumpiness from my website? The page I need help with: https://omelhordonatal.pt/ Hi, The stale-like page you see is the guest mode load. The way it works, the guest mode appears for a fraction of a second and then gets refreshed to the non-guest mode and your normal page loads. The reason why you see a blank screen at the end of the guest mode is because somehow your site loads that way. If you run your site with /?LSCWP_CTRL=before_optm, youll see it always loads on a blank screen first and then quickly gets to the normal display. This query string makes your site bypass LSCache completely. Or, you can simply disable Guest Mode and see the blank screen is still there. Regards. Hi @besmarques, You page has some errors even withou Litespeed: ????????????? Image missing: https://omelhordonatal.pt/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/1920?1080.webp ????????????? And some error on your Google Ads (more than one tag on page): Uncaught L? message: adsbygoogle.push() error: Only one AdSense head tag supported per page. The second tag is ignored., name: TagError, pbr: true, stack: TagError: adsbygoogle.push() error: Only one AdSen?sbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6227214031330775:246:4 VM900 adsbygoogle.js:64 This can cause FOUC (Flash Of Unstyled Content ? CSS ). If I was you I fix these first. Then Try to test Litespeed without UCSS options, Load CSS Asynchronously and and Guest mode. If all was ok, try to enable these option one by one. That iamge has been a really hard fought battle but im still losing. That was a image that was changed on the homepage but it never stops trying to load that webp. The ads i need to check, because ad sense tells me to repeat the code for every space that i want to show a ad but then i get those errors. Hi, im getting a stale page that doenst look that good what do you mean by stale in this context ? could you please do me a screenshot or screen recording ? Best regards, So, its the guest mode page. it looks messed up https://gyazo.com/cab54a0a41f00a0cf75a0c0645ab6316 and this is the website fully loaded https://gyazo.com/178a5c84867640d06a6f448ebcca34db there is also a white screen in beetween but someone pointed that it wasnt related to the cache About WebP image: dont use it directly, WordPress and site editors dont fully support yet. Instead ase a jpeg/png file then use Litespeed to convert and serve in webp format. About adsbygoogle: I dont know how you implement this headers, but inputting or calling adclient and adslot in all blocks will make a javascript call in every block. Ads will not work. Try to use a plugin to handle that or if youre using, try another one. Then looking at the page code I can see your site is using Pixel, Google Ads, Google Adsense, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar (this one slows every site to knees) and a lot of plugins anchored to Jquery. Thats not a good pratice and will kill your SERP/SEO results. Your Ads, analytics dont are even reliable in that way. And you are using Astra Theme, I never see in my life this theme have a so slow loading. My hint to you: disable Litespeed plugin, fix all these problems that I pointed, and the start to optimize again? your console errors are growing. The WEBP is not directed inserted, its generated by litespeed. The adsense problem i think i already solved. Dont see how my console errors are evolving since they are less than yesterday but i will recheck again. Yes, hotjar will be turned off soon I found what was making that white screen. It was google optimize. Hi, https://gyazo.com/cab54a0a41f00a0cf75a0c0645ab6316 https://gyazo.com/178a5c84867640d06a6f448ebcca34db this is most likely due to UCSS generator didnt pick up the elements and styles properly, please try use the UCSS whitelist to include that background element Best regards,
