Using the Tower theme and have it setup pretty close to the default demo of Tower. It’s flashing on load of any page, then flashes to white and loads properly.
Hello,
I see that your site loads over HTTPS. You have an insecured script (https://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js) ,whose request has been blocked, because the content must be served over HTTPS. That’s the error i get after loading you site.
However, if an HTTPS page includes HTTP content, the HTTP portion can be read or modified by attackers, even though the main page is served over HTTPS. When an HTTPS page has HTTP content, the content is called “mixed”. The Mixed Content Blocker blocks certain HTTP requests on HTTPS pages.
You should contact your host provider and secure that script.
Let us know.
Best regards!
Your site does not load in time all necessary style files. This can be caused by slow connection with server or some of the plugins installed is effecting theme scripts.
Please contact your host provider first. Do you have any caching plugin installed?
Let us know.
We figured out that it was being caused by moving the <script> text from the header to the footer, as per every SEO recommendation. Can you recommend a way to move the javascript from the header to the footer and still have the site load properly? Every SEO check tells us to move javascript below the fold, and most recommended moving it from the header to the footer. In our case, that’s what caused it not to load properly.
This is the script we had originally moved from the header to the footer:
<p>
<script src="https://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
<?php
//Generated css from options
include('includes/register/register_styles.php');
// Loaded all others styles and scripts.
?>
<?php
// Loaded all others styles and scripts.
wp_head();
?>
<script><?php echo $cl_redata['tracking_code'] ?></script>
Actually all styles should be placed in header. So when the page loads it can use all generated style’s variables. You can use other ways to boost your SEO.

Last question: Our site’s loading time slowed down a lot, just pass five seconds, when we switched to the Tower theme. It is not our host provider as we were running fast with our previous theme on the same host. Do you have any recommendations to help it speed up? This is the main reason it was recommended to us to move the script text to the footer initially. I understand why you suggest not doing it, so do you have suggestions on how to make loading time faster then?
Added information to the post above: This is coming from a recommendation from Google’s page speed test, so in speeding up our site, how do we fix js in above the fold content without moving it?
You can delete all information you are not using, such as pages/post/portfolio items. You can optimize images and use a caching plugin.
Did you read the article suggested above? This other article too, gives great advice on the matter.
