Hi there,
We are having issues with performance of our website, its running very slow and the overall responsiveness isn’t good. On Google page insight we are getting a score of 7 on mobile and 25 on desktop. My initial thoughts were that it was server resources but we temporarily upgraded them to a bigger instance on AWS (16gb of ram, 8 CPUs and 400gb of ssd) and the site was no quicker. Do you have any recommendations on how we can improve the site speed and also if you recommend any plugins such as WP-Rocket?
We have used the query monitor plugin (Download here) to try and diagnose any issues and haven’t had much luck.
Any help on fixing these performance issues would be really appreciate. And we really love the Theme!
Kind regards,
James

Hi James,
Thank you for buying our theme. We hope it will meet all your expectations! 🙂
First and foremost, please check the WordPress prerequisites here:
https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/For better performance and improve security, we obviously recommend PHP 7.4+. Nevertheless, if this is not possible for you (server type, incompatibilities with plugins, etc.), we recommend at least version 5.6.X.
We use WP Engine to host all our demos. The performance of your website can also be improved, like our demos, by some additional plugins:
- WP Rocket: Improving the speed of your WordPress site
- Imagify: Shrinking your images with lowest quality loss
- Imsanity: Automatically resizing huge image uploads
You can always add more stuff to improve your page loading time but this is a pretty good start.
Please be aware that too many plugins will considerably slow down your page loading time. So, we advise to stick to the bare minimum!
Our theme offers a built-in setup wizard if you wish to import one of our demos but you can skip it and start your website without installing any plugin or importing any demo content as only two plugins (Grimlock and Kirki) are actually required to make our theme perfectly work. Not every use-case is the same and we believe that our customers should be left with the decision of what to and not to install. You can rest assured that our theme will work fine and perform better without few plugins installed.Finally, this topic might also catch your attention as one of our user shared the server configuration that has helped him to solve a similar issue:
We hope this will help! 🙂
Kind regards,
