BeTheme very slow to load - Running out of options need assistance please!
This is the first time I'm using BeTheme but I'm currently experiencing massive load times (~11.2s for the page to load!). This obviously turns people away before the content loads.
I’ve done the following to try and reduce the time but it’s still too high and hasn’t helped:
- Using Cloudflare
- Added W3 Total Cache (minified content) – This is also the only extra plugin used outside BeTheme suggested ones.
- Copied styles from the header into style-static.css and turned on Static CSS.
- Reduced picture sizes and quality
I’m still getting extremely poor load times, do you have any other suggestions?

server has a huge impact as well on how fast the site loads. If you look at https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/bksOHA/http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/ you see that BeTheme with only W3 Total Cache and good hosting loads about 1 second what is extremely good result. So we really have no idea what might be the reason of your slow loading.
Can you confirm where in the ftp directory I would find the style-static.css as I updated this via the Edit option in WP. Maybe I should check to make sure it updated correctly (waiting 11 seconds for a website to load isn't satisfactory).
Thanks for your help.
