Hi there,
I am testing out this theme for my website, http://www.disabledveterans.org. The site itself is just a blog for me. Nothing fancy. I host using WP Engine and have the DNS routed through Cloudflare using the free version. It presently loads under 1 second most of the time.
What are the top load times you have seen with this theme? I tried testing some of the showcase sites using Newspaper on Pingdom but the speeds were generally not below 2 seconds.
Lots of factors; speed of test connection, number of images, site optimization, mix of CDN, or custom server (10mb, 100mb or 1GB connection), https with or without http/2 support, mod_pagespeed, etc.
Speed of “theme” not relevant in context of “speed of optimized site using theme.”
Just a comment, I don’t work here 🙂
Thanks Chris. I’m a brass tacks kind of guy. What are the fastest speeds people have seen assuming optimization?
Hello,
As Chris suggests, it;s a very personal thing. Under the right circumstances people got even 100/100 on google page speed: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/score-100100-pagespeed-with-newspaper-wordpress-theme/
Thank you!
