Hi,

I’m doing some profiling on my site, and the theme appears to be adding a large delay to my page load times (compared to the likes of TwentySixteen, which, yes, isn’t as pretty… but is objectively faster)

My setup is fairly lightweight – theme, WooCommerce, bbPress, main menu and mobile menu (the same actual menu, though) with about 2o items, and a few images.

One query which seems to be run on every page load is SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROMwp_options, and this is taking approximately 0.25 seconds each page load.

It also appears to be updating the Options table regarding Woocommerce_enable_lightbox following this query, which appears too to be another slow database call.

These queries aren’t run when using another theme, which of course means a lesser delay in page loading.

Any insight you can provide into this or a code optimisation will be greatly appreciated!

I was using the Free theme prior to the Premium theme, and I can’t find any Theme Options in Premium regarding the WooCommerce lightbox – might this be a hang-over from using the Free theme?

Thanks

Garry
