Evaluating the real loading speed of the site is a hard task. All the services that we have are just hints about real situation. The real situation is always different (cause speed of internet connection of the users, their locations, devices, browsers and so on vary).
For any site it’s good to have good scores in every evaluating service.
Google Pagespeed is one of the most influential services. You cannot just ignore their score and say “Hey, look at Gmetrix!”
Google Pagespeed score may be used by Google to defy your position in search results. Most of the experts agree, that this score can influence SEO results.
I asked you for help in achieving better scores in Google Pagespeed.
You answered that I have to look somewhere else and just ignore the score.
Is it really how support supposed to work? I thought that you are helping us to achieve our goals with your theme. That you are fixing the problems, not convincing that they don’t matter.
Should I understand your reply as “we cannot do anything about Google Pagespeed score, just accept it and pray for better SEO”?
Sorry, but these are just common words. I already use most of the solutions you provided.
The DOM problem exists on only one page – the home one. And I totally took it from the demo. Didn’t build anything. Just removed few widgets.
I have already optimized my images. The home page is just 1,6 MB.
I have fast servers with gzip, expires headers, late versions of PHP and all the stuff described by you.
I have the best cashing and performance plugin running – WP Rocket.
My hosting provider is good – all my other sites on the same servers run very fast.
I can use AMP but it’s very specific solution – bad for design, plugins are really controversial (3,5 points is not enough) and so on.
BTW, mobile version of your theme don’t look good – main slider is wider than the screen of my Iphone 6+. It looks like your theme is not really responsive.
