Performance

With every release, we did some work to improve the performance to get a better experience when users visit a cartsy site. But after installing the theme on your site, you won't get similar performance as our demo sites as we did some extra work on our demo sites, which improves the performance.

In this section, we'll be discussing the thing you can do to your site to improve the performance like ours.

Server

A server makes a significant rule for performance, So make sure you get a proper server that can quickly handle your site without any connection drop or any processor power shortage.

CDN

To serve the content, you can use CDN, which will improve the performance of loading the content. https://www.stackpath.com/products/cdn/ can be an excellent option for CDN. You can use any CDN for your site.

Compress Images

The image size can take so much time to load the site. To reduce the size, you can use the image compress plugin to your site, which will reduce the size of an image during the upload.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/ is a popular plugin to compress images, and you can use it on your site.

Redis

Redis is an object cache plugin that reduces the query time after the first visit. You've to install Redis on your server first. Please contact your hosting provider to install Redis on your server. After installing Redis on the server, use the Redis Object Cache plugin to use Redis on your WordPress site.

Theme Settings

We add some options which you can use to improve the performance.

Animation

Animation reduces performance. On cartsy, we enable performance by default, but if your main priority is performance score rather than performance, then you can disable the animation from

Customizer -> Cartsy Theme Panel -> General
