My main concern is that right now, we have only your quickstart demo installed without many changes, with many of its plugins uninstalled.
Even this way, it is by far our slowest eShop (both the frontend and the administration panel) and it just can’t be published like that… Shouldn’t be running smoothly on its own since we didn’t change your configuration and tools?
Consider that we only created about 10-15 products and 8-10 categories. What will happen if we have 500 products in 30 categories later?
1. Reduce initial server response time
We contacted our web server provider and we checked together the available resources which are more than enough and we were told that there is no point on updating it. It will make no difference.
2. Avoid an excessive DOM size
We installed Async JavaScript and chose Defer excluding JQuery. If we have to input anything in the fields, please let me know. Also installed Smush for lazy loading and compressing images.
4. Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
We rather avoid that at this point for small projects. All other installations are working fine so we don’t want to use a CDN for just one of our themes
5. Serve static assets with an efficient cache policy
Can you suggest a free plugin for this job? We don’t want to spend more than the theme’s cost for this installation
