Latest templates slow

    • Hi
      I have been a fan of your work for a while and wonder why templates are turning into bloated, sloths?

      Sorry to cut through the cheese, but the latest template took almost half a minute to load the demo and I see this trend no end. Don't get me wrong, they look awesome, but looks alone is no reason to visit a website.

      Please give me a fast loading template that looks great, I know you guys are more than capable.

    • You can neither judge a book by its cover, nor judge the speed of an RT template by its homepage, which is always laden with graphics and eye candy.

      Instead, take a look at the "J! stuff" page to see how much overhead is involved with JS calls and css files, then take a look at the score in Yslow:

      demo.rockettheme.com/joomla/alerion/j-stuff

      I see an "A" rating with a score of 90...off the charts in terms of J! templates..so going to have to disagree with you this month. :)

    • ...and a lot of the CSS can be scaled back, too, as you are correct on that account—nearly 800K is a bit much, eh? :oops:

    • I'm into Stylish things that just look good and function well.

    • I cant seem to get a j3 site with leviathon to come in under 4 seconds with any page. Its the plugins so many..I know I am using shared hosting but still a bit confused as to how I can achieve a sub 1 second page load (ignoring images css etc for the moment)

      I would like to know if anyone else shares my concerns. Thanks

      Love RT and the designs but I need google to like my sites and I feel speed is a big thing.
