A site can get to be slow for many reasons, from server and domain setup, to bad plugins or themes, image sizes, etc. From the theme's perspective, we've been able to achieve great results with Aurum so the theme should help you in your mission of optimizing your site for better performance.
After valuable user feedback, extensive research and testing, we spotted several opportunities to make Aurum faster and more efficient. The goal was to keep the theme and its code as clean and fast as possible while packing the same awesome features people love without slowing things down. By minifying JavaScript and CSS code, we managed to improve performance and speed up page loading, making both visitors and search engines happy.
We use the following plugins to get the best of Aurum in terms of performance and loading times.
Beside Server Caching, Minifying and HTML compression, we've also made sure the Browser Caching is enabled for the site by adding the following lines in the .htaccess file.
# Leverage Browser Caching by setting HTTP header expires
<ifmodule mod_expires.c=""><IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 year"
