I have been using woodmart theme for a little over a year now and there is no doubt that it has a nice looking design. However, it has been getting slower and slower.
I tested pretty much every scenario from installing it to a different server to use every cache plugin, image optimization, and so on. I tested both Demo URLs from shoptimizer theme and woodmart theme in gtmetrix.com and googlespeed insights.
The Grades for both themes are there and there is a huge difference, despite both having images and so on.
I furthermore installed shoptimizer and moved all my products there. Much to my surprise, the speed is strikingly fast and the tests from gtmetrix and google are way better than before.
I wish they can come up with a solution other than their usual reply of “your website have a lot of images or try disabling all plugins” and so on.
Waiting for a solution
