The background module slows down the dynamics of the entire store

Hi there,

We haven’t received similar reports from other users, so this might need a closer look.

Do you have a staging site where we can log in and investigate further?

Hi there,

the GeneratePress backgrounds module simply writes CSS for you. For example this is the CSS it wrote for you sites body background image:

body {
    background-image: url('https://taniapestka.pl/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/bgc-mj6.svg');
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    background-size: 100% auto;
    background-position: 0 140px;
}

Its not something we can improve or change, as its simply CSS
And it’s not the background itself that is directly at fault here.

The issue you’re seeing is a Layout issue.
When the browser has to redraw the screen to show hover animations or zooms it has to consider all layers of the page. The more complex the page and the more images involved and the larger those image files are, the greater the time it can take to relayout the page. As the background image is part of the parent ( body ) container and as is over 6mb in size it’s adding a lot of overhead to that process.

I would recommend not using the background image on those pages especially if its attached to the body.
For example add the background image to the hero Container Block on the home page instead.
