Java Script Files Size

Hello,

we currently have a problem with the total size of the Java Script files:
In general we use the standard plugins provided by BE Theme. To minimize the javascript size we have already disabled the unused Pugin Layer Slider and use a Cache Plugin (WP-Rocket) to minimize and compress the file. Nevertheless we have a total of over 800 KByte of Java Script (compressed 225 KByte). Currently we still use the Revolution Slider, but we are also thinking about doing without it. Are there more plugins to reduce the size of the theme... can we do without jQuery for example? We do not use any animations. 

Another question I have with the mfn-icons.woff which probably provide the icons. Can I permanently remove them from the theme to reduce the page size? If so, how or can I remove them without having to follow the steps for each update?

If you have further hints to reduce the size of the theme, we would be very happy about it. We already use the be theme on four pages. 

Optimizations should be done for the following page https://www.bestattungen-meister.de/

Best regards

    Hello,
    We strongly suggest not to delete any of the betheme's files, because they are really necessary to make the theme work well.
    What we can suggest, is to use some kind of minify plugin and that's all, the 800KB(225KB compressed) is really small value which does not make really effect to the loading.

    We suggest to take a look at the images if they are compressed or try the static-css method to prevent query to the database every time you get into the page (but you website have to be ready, because if you will use the 'static-css', then your changes on theme options will not work, you will have to create another static-css file and replace the old one)

    Thanks

    The steps you discribe are already done:
    • Image size is already compressed and optimized
    • static css is already is used, compressed and minified, the same is done for java script
    • minify plugin and cache plugin is already used
    The biggest part of the webapge remain with the java script file... 800 KB / 225 KB are around 40 percent of the full page size.

    So, that's are all of the steps which we can offer.
    You have to be aware, that BeTheme is a Wordpress template, which will not be slim itself, because even standalone wordpress is really huge software and some of the js functions cannot be removed because of the functionality of both, wordpress and betheme.
    Thanks
