Hi there,

Can you review my theme and see if there is anything I can do to speed it up? I reached out to Just Host (my hosting company) and they are saying it’s a theme issue. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to us! I hope you’re doing well.

Did your hosting company give any precisions on their appreciation? What plan are you on for that company?

Best,
Juan.

I’m just using a basic plan economy https://justhost.com. If i turn off your theme it speeds up. Is there anything I can do to optimize your theme?

Hi,

Thank you for the follow-up.

It looks like the plan is a bit limited. Although you can try the following to optimize:

For Flatbase, we recommend having all your options for Images, CSS and JavaScript turned on in Theme Settings > Performance.

For page cache, we recommend W3 Total Cache (https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/), since it’s been largely tested with our themes.

Whatever it is the plugin you’re using for page cache, we recommend turning off all its file minification options for HTML, CSS and JS, and use Autoptimize instead: https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/. Here is a screenshot with our recommended configuration for Autoptimize: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l621ucr6mlpuepk/Screen%20Shot%202017-06-28%20at%2014.53.49-fullpage.png?dl=0&raw=1.

Also, you may want to take a look at this article about website performance and optimization: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wordpress-performance-speed/. It has a lot of useful information that can be relevant to your site.

Best,
Juan.
