Theme causes all pages to be loaded twice
-
If you look at the Network tool in your browser (e.g. press PF12. Then choose “Network”. Then refresh the page) or use a tool that shows the “waterfall” of all the things that are done when a page is visited, you will see that the wordpress page is loaded at the top…. and then a bunch of other stuff is loaded as per usual (e.g. the style sheets and images and javascript files).
… this ia all normal….
but then we see the wordpress page loaded AGAIN near the bottom. A second time. This is not normal and other themes do not do this. So pure and simple is slowing down webstes by doubling the amount of work that has be done to display a page.
For example you can try it on your demo page:
https://demo.styledthemes.com/demos/puresimple-free/The waterfall shows that the first thing that is loaded is “/puresimple-free”
but then if you scroll down to the bottom you see that the third one from the bottom is also “/puresimple-free”. The same page again.

SOLVED.
This html (which resides in pure-simple/partials/logo-group.php) causes the double loading:
<div class=”header-bg” style=” background-image: url();”>
It happens if you do not choose a background image in Appearace -> Customize -> Header Image.
Therefore the fix is to either
– choose a header background imageor change the above code to:
<div class=”header-bg”>
