Hello, I did a page speed insights test and found that the mobile speed of the theme is VERY slow. The desktop is ok. But mobile is terrible. I even checked your demo site https://jevelin.shufflehound.com/hello/ and that also was VERY slow. It seems there is a major problem with the theme. Particularly the javascript is very slow, and us customers have no control over that. So what can we do about that? Thank you.
Hi there,
Sorry for our late response.
We can offer some tips on how to improve performance. Could you please share a link to your website?
Best regards,

Hello,
I implemented both recommended plugins, and it produced very minimal, if any, improvements in site speed. The mobile speed is still HORRIBLE, and the desktop speed is still average.
I attached an image of a PageSpeed Insights score. The page is linked in the private field, for reference.
What else can we do to improve this?
Thank you,
Derek
Hello,
We’re sorry to hear the issue persists. From our real-time testing, your website appears to load quite smoothly. However, when it comes to PageSpeed Insights scores, particularly for mobile, these tests are tested on slow network speeds, which can greatly impact the results, especially if your site includes large images or videos.
Here are some additional steps we recommend:
- Optimize Images: We noticed several large images on your homepage (e.g., 460kb, 400kb, 173kb). Compress or resizes these further to help improve load times.
- Disable Background Videos: The video on your homepage seems quite heavy and may be affecting the score. Try disabling it and test the impact on your score.
Please give these suggestions a try and let us know if they make a difference!
Best regards,
Shufflehound teamHello,
Thank you for your reply. I understand that it appears smooth in real time, but Google uses these PageSpeed Insight scores (particularly mobile speed scores) to rank your site in the search engines.
So, if your site gets a bad score, it won’t have an advantage in the search engines over other sites with a better score.
Therefore, it is critical to use a theme capable of producing a fast PageSpeed Insight score.
Jevelin gets a HORRIBLE score.
So, obviously we need to address these speed issues with Jevelin in order for it to be a reliable theme for anyone trying to rank on google.
As for your suggestions:
I understand there are a few “larger” images (e.g., 460kb, 400kb, 173kb) on the homepage, and a video background, which removing could provide slight improvements, for the homepage.
However, the Pagespeed Insight report provided is not for my homepage. It’s for a basic page, linked in the private information field. There are no large images or videos on the page.
I’ve tested pages with hardly anything on them at all. They still test HORRIBLE. The problem is not the content. The problem is the javascript in the Jevelin Theme. That’s what all these tests show.
So, can we dig deeper into this issue and figure out a solution that will allow Jevelin to be a reliable theme, and compete with all these other LIGHTNING FAST themes available on the market.
Thank you,
