Hi Kadence Community,

I’m currently building and optimizing a site using the Kadence Theme + Kadence Blocks, and I’m really impressed with how flexible and lightweight it is. That said, I’m still seeing some performance issues on mobile, and PageSpeed scores could be better — especially since I’m aiming for fast user experience.

The site in question is: *Login to see link
It offers free online calculation tools, so speed and clarity are very important for usability.

My setup:
– Kadence Theme (latest) + Kadence Blocks Pro
– Hosting on LiteSpeed (with LiteSpeed Cache plugin)
– Using Autoptimize and basic image compression
– No heavy plugins, but several blocks with dynamic content

Questions:
– What are your best Kadence-specific optimization tips?
– Any blocks, scripts, or animations I should avoid or replace?
– How do you manage Google Fonts, preload settings, and image delivery in Kadence?
– Are there known plugin combinations or settings that improve loading time without hurting the design?

I’d really appreciate insights or examples from others who’ve optimized Kadence-powered sites. Thanks in advance for your help!

Best,
Rao Henry
