Hello,

You are talking about the overall website performance and speed and its importance. You are absolutely right and we don’t disagree with all the points related to general website optimizations. But we are only theme developers and can’t be responsible for the whole performance of your website. We are still opened to help you with all the issues directly related to our theme. So let’s discuss them if any. As for the issues:

– Dom ready is 1.5s – we have tested your optimized product page and its loading time is 600-800ms (we tested 10-15 times). And it is when the cache is disabled. Here is a screenshot – https://prnt.sc/uy85qk
With cache – 300ms. Screenshot – https://prnt.sc/uy85yc

– the one I already mentioned about the search field – sorry, what search field issue do you mean?

– bootstrap – we use bootstrap for our grid only and it doesn’t have any issues and works very fast. There is no issue with that.

– theme css – could you please point us some concrete parts in the code that you think can affect your website speed? We already explained all the reported issues.

And still, you should minify and combine all CSS and JS files using WP Rocket or its alternatives. CDN service will really improve the loading time as well.

And yes, we compared our theme with almost all mentioned themes with a similar number of content. They load almost at the same speed. The difference may be in +-15% but not more. Of course, there are some extremely light themes without any extra features so they may have less CSS and JS. You can choose them for your project if you prefer.

Kind Regards
