Hi,
I just changed to the Publication Pro templates. All of the site went from having a GTmetrix grade A to grade E.
I did not change anything on the site other than the theme templates. What seems to be the issue?

I had AdSense on the previous theme and it was running perfectly.
Hello @kmos!
You need to take into account:
External factors: server speed, if you are using CDN or not, the external resources loaded by your website like ads, fonts, tracking scripts like Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, Twitter analytics, Hotjar and so on.
Internal factors: the number of elements on the page, image size, image formats, if you are using mobile optimized layouts, console errors.
Our developers are working a lot to improve the page speed in every update.
As a suggestion, disable the lazy load animation. Other starting points to improve your website page speed are here:
