Hey guys,
first of all i want to say, that i really like your theme.
Today was the first time i used it by myself and not as part of a Team.
I Setup new WordPress 4.3.1, installed your Theme, choose a good startingpoint ( Import: Small Business – Flat Demo), imported the Demo Content
customized it a bit (very little) as i recognized at the first Preview that the speed of the page increased to a non useable/previewable state.
The page needs now more than 2 Minutes to load.
Backend works fast, and if i change to twenty fifteen-Theme everything works fine, and fast.
i need urgent Feedback, because maybe i have to use an other theme very fast for this client project!
THX, *w
Hey beyondthestatic!
Your site loaded for me 3.9 seconds which is okay. You have 1MB worth of images on your homepage. They should be optimized (cropped / scaled down) for web.
You can also further optimize your site by installing a caching plugin and minifying your CSS / JS. A good plugin for this is the BWP Minify plugin, https://wordpress.org/plugins/bwp-minify/.
I recommend this tool, https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/?hl=en, for checking your page speed. It will give you suggestions on what to do.
