The example you gave, loaded in about 3 seconds. What I think is very good.
Twenty 14 is a very simple theme with few options that’s why the number of queries is smaller.
Take note that a bad Query can take the same time that 1000 good querys.
The product variations are also more complex than a simple product.
When your site is finished you can use a cache plugin like W3Total Cache, and also CDN plugin or cloudflare to the images.
Hi Rui,
Thanks for the response. The page speed is critical to us (everyone these days).
We are already making improvements with caching etc. However, fact remains that this is a really high amount of queries. I’ve been speaking to a few specialists and they have advised that even 200 is crazy high.
Are you saying that it is normal that your theme has so many queries and that it is not an issue?
Where are you getting these numbers from? I’ve never seen above 200 with Cardinal, albeit that was without WPML/WooCommerce. The theme is as optimised as it can possibly be in terms of queries, considering the options/meta/color customisations available in the theme.
This would not be the cause of a slow load time. During testing we managed to get the load time of the features site down to 700ms.
Hi Ed,
Sorry about that. Because there are so many queries the Debug Queries tool was slowing down page loads even more and making it difficult to work.
When you are able to login please just go to the plugins and activate Debug Queries.
One thing I don’t understand is that the p3 plugin profiler tool gives a lower result. The main issue is the product pages where we have lots of variations. Even with the theme and WPML turn off it is still over 250 queries. But the theme adds about 1200 and then WPML another 1500 on top of that.
Hi Laranz,
We are investigating all possibilities on this.
I’ve just set up a fresh install, WPML turned off. just one product in the system.
747 queries.
