I have tested the following and perhaps you would benefit from this...
I placed the following my child theme functions.php because
1. I do not use the Audio/Video player i.e. disabled mediaelementplayer
2. I assumed fitvids is to do with videos, but I use a custom plugin for videos so I disabled - fitvids.js
3. I do not use the slider disabled - flexslider.js
4. Also removed (related to poitn 1) the css
This is 4 javascript request less, which may help with performance.
// Theme Scripts
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'pinboard_deregister_javascript', 100 );
function pinboard_deregister_javascript()
{
wp_deregister_script( 'mediaelementplayer' );
wp_deregister_script ('fitvids');
wp_deregister_script ('flexslider');
}
function pinboard_deregister_styles()
{
wp_deregister_style( 'mediaelementplayer' );
}
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'pinboard_deregister_styles', 100 );
Can anybody tell me what fitvids does?
Let me know if this works for you?
Also if you have other suggestions in this regard
