    Hello,

    I started to speed optimize my blog today to score better at Google search results. Using their tool I discovered that the “Sidebar” variant scores 0/100 while the other variants of the theme score about 80/100

    https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2F8theme.com%2Fdemo%2Fwoopress%2Fsidebar%2F&tab=desktop

    I purchased the theme because of the Sidebar option. The cart is not working correctly as I posted before.
    Discovering now that the option that I like scores awfully is s huge disappointment!

    I really hope there is a solution for this

    Hello,

    As you can see you’re using images with very big size. See screeenshot: http://prntscr.com/aieses
    You need to reduce them to increase the site speed.

    Also you can speed up the site following the suggestions from these articles:

    Hello Robert,

    Thank you for your reply. Yet my question is not how to make my blog faster.

    I need to know why Sidebar option is scoring so much worse compared to other variants of Woopress
    &
    how to fix this.

    The official demo of Sidebar option is scoring 0/100
    While others have like 80/100

    Nobody likes the idea of Google seeing his blog as 0/100

    The official demo of Sidebar option is scoring 0/100

    This is true because our demo also uses images of the big size.
    If you try to reduce the size of images you will see that the points will be increase.
