    Hello, am facing an issue with website speed, when i visited your theme demo, speed was AWESOME ! :
    https://woodmart.xtemos.com/demo-sweets-bakery/demo/sweets-bakery/

    That’s why i purchased the theme, HOWEVER when i installed it on my server it was slower,
    note that my VPS is 12 vCore – 24 GB RAM ! check the difference in LOAD TIME between your installation and mine in attachment! Your is better by 2 seconds !

    note that i didn’t add any content or customize anything !!
    SO MY QUESTION IS, HOW CAN I MAKE MY THEME PERFORM LIKE YOUR DEMO

    Hello,

    Thank you for choosing our theme. Our theme is optimized for speed and should not significantly slow down your website. However, it’s possible that your website’s performance is affected by the content you have added. For instance, the use of too many plugins, large unoptimized images, or other resources can slow down your website.

    We recommend that you remove any unnecessary plugins and install a JS & CSS optimization plugin such as WP Rocket. Our guide on how to optimize your website using our themes can be found here: https://xtemos.com/wordpress-performance-optimization-the-ultimate-guide-in-2021/

    Best Regards,

    i did not add any plugin or content yet, this is fresh installation and my load time is 3 seconds,
    am aware of website optimization and wprocket, but i just want to make sure that you are using extra optimization layer on your demo ? and this causing the fast 1 second load time ??

    Hello,

    No, we don’t use any extra hidden optimization layer on our demos.

    But note that your website speed will depend on a lot of different factors and it is up to you how you optimize it. You can use fewer or smaller images, caching plugins, etc.

    Dear Aizaz, as i mentioned earlier i uploaded your theme WITHOUT TOUCHING IT, and i have mentioned the vps specs and i think they are more than enough to run a WP website.

    HOWEVER am getting a 3 seconds load time while your demo has 1 seconds, if i need caching solutions ! then your demo is misleading because i bought the theme based on the high speed of demo
    plus buying a cache plugin will cost even more !

    Hello,

    I understand your concern. A fresh installation on your own VPS will not match the demo speed automatically because performance depends on many factors outside the theme itself, such as:

    Server configuration, Database optimization, CDN usage, Image sizes, Browser caching, Server-level caching and Network latency.

    So even without adding plugins, performance will differ because each hosting environment behaves differently.
    The theme itself does not add any extra hidden optimization layer. The demo speed is simply a result of an optimized hosting setup.

    If you want, you can share your website URL and I can check and let you know what exactly is slowing it down.

    Best Regards,

    Hello,

    I have checked your site site speed using PageSpeed tool and see the following issue.

    -Network dependency tree: replace the fonts from Google to the local
    https://xtemos.com/docs-topic/how-to-upload-custom-fonts/

    – Use efficient cache lifetimes: You should cache immutable static assets for a long time, such as a year or longer, so you need to configure your server to return the Cache-Control HTTP response header:
    It should be 1year+ as in the example: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/performance/uses-long-cache-ttl/?utm_source=lighthouse&utm_medium=lr#how_to_cache_static_resources_using_http_caching

    -Improve image delivery: Make these images lighter – https://postimg.cc/GTDGgRNw , e.g., 30kb

    Website optimization is an individual process for every website. We recommend you analyze your performance with online tools like Pingdom Website Speed Test, Google Pagespeed, GTmetrix and Web page test. They will give you a lot of recommendations and tips regarding performance.

    Best Regards,
