How to speed up Boss?

[ken]

So I was running Gmetrix, and it seems like my site always has 1-2 seconds in “waiting”.

I spoke with Sitepress and they checked everything out and said it looks good on their end. I have a cache installed and it’s running through a CDN. I was wondering if there were some Boss optimizations I could use to speed up the wait time? 1-2 seconds is not a bad wait, but it doesn’t seem to be loading anything during those 1-2 seconds. I’ve tried minifying it but it only messed up the theme (making things disappear). Any advice would be great!

Sometimes it takes up to 4 seconds before it processes anything.

If you got an updated version of Buddypress, you can forget about speed. It will slow down your site so much that its unbearable

Hi @ruvidan

Speed depend upon many factors
Like at your site

flowtricks.net page has 73 external Javascript scripts.
flowtricks.net page has 45 external stylesheets.
Your server have 2.0+ sec server wait time.

Boss theme have inbuilt option to use minify css and js file, it will also increase the performance .

We will also cross check what more we can do to optimize the speed. It’s already added in our task list.
