Hi, thinking about starting my websites. Wanna have 2 business related blogs and news website.
I'v been learning WP for almost 2 months, built my site, and it's aper to slow (( about 3 seconds per page. Yes I did use bench of plugins, like all in one seo or seo by yast, comment system from discus, google xml and analytics plugins, iTheme security, image optimizer, w3 total cache, Hide my WP (for more security), and Visual composer + add-ons for building my pages and posts. Plus I use Social share buttons, Slider, back up plugin, and gonna use BBpress and restrict content plugin and more.
So, my best load resolute is 2-4seconds per page, and 4 is too much.
I started google and found your community and Genuine Framework, google says G Frame really fast, and I believe, but would it make difference with all my plugins in use?I'v read studiopress site, they say G framework is protected, so do I need iTheme security?
They say, G Frame has nice comment system, so do I need Discus plugin? cane users logging in with Facebook to post comment?
Do your themes have built in plugins like VC, or some other system for building custom pages?
I watched Demo themes (child) and they all have the same post layout, and it's really simple, there is no masonry layouts or different blog layouts.So, what should I do? by framework or not, will it make my website faster?
And question for community, is there real help here for customizing website?
How easy to install new Child theme on the framework? Will I get G frame 3.0 and 4.0 if I buy whole package now? will i get G Framework 3 and 4 if I buy only G frame now and one Theme I Like?
What's the point of buying while theme pack if i Need only 2 themes? can I buy Second Child theme without framework? For like 50$?Thank you for your time, and really big thank you if you answered my questions 😉

But it could also be plugins that are adding to the load time. And it could also be your host is slow. Most likely, it's a combination of things.
I would install the P3 Plugin Performance Profiler (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/p3-profiler/) and run that to see if any plugins are adding significantly to the load time.
You can also use a website called http://gtmetrix.com to get some more information about where your site drags.
The Genesis Framework is very tight and can load quickly, but if your issues are caused by plugins, changing your theme may not help. And if your host is slow, the only thing that will help is migrating to a better host...
I know this is pretty general, but hopefully it'll give you some ideas of where to start...
September 30, 2014 at 2:52 pm #126349propzorsMemberThank, i used P3 plugin and that website and few more.
I have plugin with 1 second load time, and rest of them much quicker.
I'm playing with load speed second day, and this is crazy, i'v tried 3 different themes, with no content, with text and basic widgets, with text + images, and with fool load Text, Img, widget arias, and about 10 most common plugins install and activated.
Now I see, that plugins are not the issue here. For instance if clear theme with 5 text post loads for 1sec, with pictures and simple widgets it is about 2sec, and adding 10 plugins make it 2.3 which is nothing.
And yes, tests shown that Theme is important, with all the same content and plugins, different can be enormous, like 2 vs 4 seconds, which is double load time, and if your site already slow (4+ seconds per page load) it gonna freak your readers out.September 30, 2014 at 2:53 pm #126350davidzackMemberSounds like your host might be the next thing to investigate.
