Finally, the RT Templates have big size of images, scripts, css, etc.
Is it possible to use your template'customization, keep the look of your template, but optimizing some parts to reduce the size of pages / Web site ? If I take a demo site, without doing anything, it's really enormous. If I change the text and put my images, it's still enormous. Must I change all images which do the structure of your site ? Idem : JS / css files are all necessary, or can I choose some of them and keep a good presentation ?
Also keep in mind that the templates are designed with flexibility. There is a tradeoff there too. I also suggest looking at other discussions on this topic. There have been many before yours
