Pictures/Placeholders not showing on mobile site
Hello,
I am using Xara Webdesign Premium. I put a few pix/placeholders on my mobile site. They are showing when I do Preview Webpage on my desktop and then shorten it to look like the mobile site; however, when
I upload the site and check on my mobile phone the pix aren't there. I refresh and the pix/background I want show for a second, then go away and it's back with no pix. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

Steve - I am not sure what the problem is with the variant but I have a suggestion for the site overall.
The concept of a mobile notary is pretty straight forward. I need a document notarized. You come to me to notarize the document.
You are making it much to difficult. With all your highlighted and different colored text, when I look at the home page I do not know where to look because every thing is trying to get my attention.
Focus on your service and make it as easy for me to get the information I need. If I need a notary, I don't need to read a blog. And I am not sure testimonials are important. How fast you can get to my house or place of business is important.
Simplify your message down the basics. Essentially you could accomplish everything on one simple page: Company Name, Service offered, contact information.
Just my dos centavos.
Re: Pictures/Placeholders not showing on mobile site
It's probably down to your use of pagespeed script. It's probably called on load and any subsequent change of browser width no longer calls for the image to be lazy-loaded. My advise would be to remove the lazy-load scripts. there's no real need for them on your site.
Further to that, I agree with Gary's comments.
Re: Pictures/Placeholders not showing on mobile site
Hi. How do you remove the lazy-load scripts in the Xara software? I am not computer literate with this stuff and don't really understand it.
Thanks :)
Re: Pictures/Placeholders not showing on mobile site
Iv'e no idea Steve, it's not included in Xara software. You must be loading it from somewhere or it's activated by your web host.
Anyone have any clues?

Your original spot was very useful Egg.
It is not something Xara could add as it is a Google-developed server utility; https://hostpresto.com/community/tut...le-for-apache/.
Either the OP web host (GoDaddy) did it or the OP bought in a product...

Re: Pictures/Placeholders not showing on mobile site
Thanks Acorn. I think in the OP's case this is total overkill for a very small site. SEO optimisation gone mad, even though it wasn't the OP's intention.
Re: Pictures/Placeholders not showing on mobile site
Hmm. So, my web host is siteground.us. Would I contact them to add this Pagespeed Module from Google to their server? Not sure if siteground.us has apache.?
Re: Pictures/Placeholders not showing on mobile site
Here's what the tech from Siteground says: He want's me to change filters and maybe disable Pagespeed module.
Teodor A.: Alright! Yes, indeed we use Apache for our servers
Teodor A.: It is actually a mixture between Apache and Nginx, but the core is pure Apache
Teodor A.: I can see that the PageSpeed module is already activated for your "thesandiegomobilenotary.com" domain name
eodor A.: The PageSpeed module is also enabled from the Supercacher tool in your cPanel. By default, the PageSpeed module is enabled with default Core Filters, designed to safely optimize the content of your website, without affecting the look or behavior. You can edit existing filters and add new ones from the cPanel -> Supercacher tool -> Advanced (next to PageSpeed for your domain)
Teodor A.: Still, in case it is now working well with your website, my suggestion would be to just stop using it or experiment with disabling some of the default filters as it seems like they don't work well with your website
Hope this helps. I'll try it tomorrow. Just want the pix back and maybe increase the speed time on my web site.
Re: Pictures/Placeholders not showing on mobile site
Tom, the only other thought I have is a conflict with Pagespeed and Xara's use of Variants.
If so, it is a bigger problem on Xara.
The only way to find out would be to publish the site with any Variants but get the site working first without Pagespeed.
