    I love the theme in terms of features, but wow! this is a very slow performing theme. I’ve already heard complaints from many users.

    It performs very poorly on google page speed tests, pingdom and gtmetrix tests.

    Here’s what I’ve tried to do to increase the performance a little bit so atleast the site can be used.
    -Installed smush plugin for image optimization
    -Installed hummingbird plugin for caching and asset optimization
    -Various tests continue to suggest moving CSS “inline”. So I did that using the hummingbird asset optimization. Some menu icons on pages are starting to show up a little weird.
    -Some tests also suggested moving some .js files “to the footer”. I did that for only a few files

    Cera development team, please do something. This is not a normal performance. There is a lot of pontential for speed and performance in the theme.
    Can you review please and suggest if you are already aware.

    Thanks

    Hi @incovadeadmin,

    Thank you for reaching out!

    We use WP Engine to host all our demos (https://wpengine.com/). The performance of your website can also be improved, like our demos, by WP Rocket (https://wp-rocket.me/). Finally, we usually also recommend Imagify (https://imagify.io/), to shrink your images with lowest quality loss. But unfortunately, you have already made several improvements yourself that are very similar…

    For better performance and improve security, we also recommend PHP 7.3+. Nevertheless, if this is not possible for you (server type, incompatibilities with plugins, etc.), we recommend at least version 5.6.X. 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. Several of our demos have a lot of plugins activated to showcase what’s possible our product but we advise to stick to the bare minimum!

    Yes, you can test our demos against some online performance tools but that doesn’t exclude the influence of plugins -and the number of queries they’re throwing- from the results. If you really wish to see which plugins are the most responsible for slowing down your website, I suggest that you take install and activate P3 Plugin Performance Profiler from GoDaddy.com:

    P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler)

    Its results will show you charts with for the performance of each activated plugin. Finally, if curious to test Cera against online tools and really know the performance of our theme WITHOUT all those plugins activated, please feel free to use the following demo:
    https://theme-unit-test.cera-theme.com/

    You will see that the page loading times are significantly faster.

    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,
