    hello.

    we really like your theme and are very happy with the look and function of our new website http://www.SCMWA.com.

    we are getting some questions from our members about the site load speed. we used Google Pagespeed insights to analyze the site and got 40/100 for mobile and 46/100 for desktop.

    Top 3 suggested fixes include:

    1) Enable Compression

    2) Reduce Server Response Time

    3) Eliminate render-blocking Javascript and CSS in above the fold content

    Do you have any suggestions on how best to resolve these issues?

    Go to GTMetrix.com and run your URL through it. Then Install the free wordpress plugin ‘W3 Total cache’ and set it up as explained here: http://gtmetrix.com/wordpress-optimization-guide.html (you can also optimise your images with ‘WP Smush’ as explained in this link)

    Then retest your site at GTMetrix and see the improvement!

    Hi JoshMetz,

    Using something like w3tc as mentioned above or any of the caching plugins in addition to minifying your site code and optimizing your images is the best route to go.

    Regards,

    Devin
