    Hi guys,

    My site is extremely slow, it loads 1MB of CSS, is that really true? I have added my credentials for wp-admin.

    I have tried to change server but it didn’t help one bit, i have tried 3 servers, 2 extremely fast and dedicated, one of them normal webhosting.

    Thanks in advance

    Please, contact administrator
    for this information.

    I am wondering if removing the WPBakery Visual Composer plugin and changing the layout on the frontpage will do something for the website speed? Because right now it’s taking around 10 seconds to load, which we all know is too much 🙂

    I have optimzed the database as well and installed W3, nothing is really helping.

    Hello Eva,

    I have just updated the theme, however it doesn’t look like it made any difference to the loading speed.

    Hello,

    I’ve checked your site and it’s loading quite fast:

    Some plugins may slow site work. You can check it disabling them.

    Sorry for inconveniences.

    Looks good.

    Gtmetrix shows 1 second slower than pingdom.

    Do you have any settings guide for W3 cache working with your theme? As cart is not getting updated when cached.

    Hi, I am having the same issue. Ive tried various servers also. I then also ran a gtmetrics on your corporate demo site to compare, and the demo is also extremely, getting D and F Grades.
    I am having a major issue with this now, in that the physical memory limits are getting crushed so much that it’s causing my site to not show at all.
    Ive deactivated all plugins, still no help.
    I activated the default wordpress theme, and the site is perfect.
    Seem to be problems with the theme speed and css size.
    Can we minify the CSS? Also, I tried to add the gzip code to the htaccess file but it is not taking. Can we gzip the site?

    Any help asap would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    I have the same issue. Your theme is very slow to load (more than 17 secondes with GMetrix and like 10 secondes with PingDom!!).
    I saw that there is a lot of css and js files to load, and each on the top of the page (and not bottom, as it’s better).
    Could you please see for that ? It’s really embarassing (Nb: I have already the latest version of your theme, and I use also WP Rocket, the best plugin to make it faster, but I just win like 1 or 2 secondes and still 17 secondes to load!)

    Gmetrix results :

    Pingdom results :

    Pingdom
