    • The Rocktetheme templates are unacceptable slow. Look at www.joomlapolis.com , the demo of the fast template. What a great difference. An example for the next RocketTheme template?

    • Most of the templates are pretty fast...

      A lot has to do with the customization you do to the template, images, 3rd party scripts, etc.

      Along with that, your hosting can be a major factor.

    • I compared Joomla with default template and the latest standard RT template with NO customization. The difference was 2-3 seconds. In my opinion that is slow, too slow.

    • Disable RokTwittie and it loads in 1½ second :)
    • Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

      While I might agree with you about the speed, I have found that RT templates have a lot more built-in features than the default templates. To me, the added features more than outweigh the slight increase in loading speed. I guess that it depends on what you want in a template - I need the extra features, and so I'm prepared to sacrifice a bit of loading speed. And none of my clients has ever complained, so far. :)
