    I saw a previous post that was closed with no resolution. https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/page-load-performance-issue-with-font-awesome-and-bootstrapcdn/
    I get that this is a free theme, but it would be nice to hear whether this is something that will or will not be addressed.
    There is also an issue with “Resources with a “?” in the URL are not cached by some proxy caching servers. Remove the query string and encode the parameters into the URL for the following resources:” slowing things down.

    This is a great plugin, so no complaints. Still much faster/better than what I had been using. Just wanted to offer up a few suggestions for improvement.

    Thanks.

  • This plugin will help you a lot not only in this problem https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/autoptimize/

    After installation go to Autoptimize Setting > Extra. There check “Remove query strings from static resources”.

    That’s all.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Works good. It didn’t change the actual load time, but it goosed page speed by 3 points or so, and jumped yslow by 7. Lots fewer requests too. every little bit helps…
    I’m going to mark this as resolved even though it wasn’t within the theme. Great theme.

    for my previous blog, I’m using Hestia Free and I was able to get a good GT Metrix score.
    Post your GT Metrix report url here.

    my scores were good with the hestia free theme–way better than my decade old theme. Just in a competitive space and am trying for every advantage. pagespeed went from 89 to 92. yslow went from 81 to 89 after optimize plugin.
    thanks
