Hi,
Thanks for providing a great theme(bought three licenses, two for friends because it’s so good). I have been able to compete with small business competitors paying a hundred dollars a month on SEOshop alone, both visually and performance wise.
I am running your theme with Nginx and APC (through W3 Total cache) for performance.
On my laptop, the website is snappy, except for the product images. They take a blink of an eye extra time to load. At first it made sense to me, because images take longer to load. However, even after server-side caching as well as browser caching, the image still takes the same time to load(browser caching should have nullified the time needed to load, right?).
On my mobile, the image load time is much worse, after most elements have loaded, the image really takes time to load.
W3TC Minify breaks the theme easily so can’t use that reliably and hosting the site over multiple subdomains (e.g. static1.domain.com, static2…) to increase simulteanous HTTP requests seems difficult. I have New Relic installed but haven’t been able to find where the exact bottleneck might be. New Relic support’s first advice was to check any slow AJAX calls, but didn’t see anything interesting with my rookie eyes.
Do you have tips on where the source of the problem might be?
