hi guys
We were initially very impressed with Woopress – but it was always a bit slow. I did post about this months ago asking when you Caching/Performance plugin you recommend to use with Woopress – you couldn’t recommend anything. Since then I have discovered from many experts that it is virtually impossible to run any site, especially an Ecommerce site on WordPress without a plugin such as W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache etc.
So we have been testing the site to see what makes it run faster. We stripped the site back to only the plugins that Woopress came with. No better, infact, without W3 Cache, much, much worse.
So we tested with WordPress Standard theme and the site is faster again. I appreciate you having a good look into this. At the moment we are considering having to change theme.
My server is good, a high spec VPS with SSD. All PHP settings correct.
