Website Page Speed slow on mobile

[likethewindmag]

Hello, we’re experiencing a similar issue with this theme. Since installing it, our mobile PageSpeed performance has dropped significantly on our site: https://www.likethewindmagazine.com

We’re hosted on WP Engine and have enabled their Page Speed Boost feature, adjusting all settings. Despite this, our mobile scores remain very low and don’t seem to improve at all.

This suggests the slowdown may be coming from the theme itself.

Could you please advise:
• Are there known mobile performance issues with this theme?
• Are there specific settings, features, or components we should disable?
• Is there a recommended optimization setup for mobile?

This is quite urgent for us as performance is affecting conversions. Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Hi there,
Welcome to SeaTheme forum.

I just tested your website, and it wasn’t noticeably slow (it displayed the ATF about 2-3 seconds; the video at the bottom of the page took longer to load, which is understandable as it could be related to the server location). Of course, everyone’s standard for speed is different. What speed are you looking for? Could you describe the page loading status and time in more detail? For example, did the initial screen load or was it just a blank screen? Providing a test video would be very helpful.

Hi,
Thank you for the information. I checked the report, and according to the report, the most blocked ones are the auxiliary files of Adobe fonts and Woo’s supporting plug-in (checkout). https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7ruqt2mctjwsgjkycval6/qq_2026-01-28_224702_770.png?rlkey=duxdadbtl1kha5la6ecwhku1p&dl=0

Page load speed depends on server performance, network conditions, and website assets. Typically, we can only optimize website assets, including images, fonts, CSS, and JS files. I checked your website, and the images are fine. However, checking this product page revealed too many plugins installed, each loading its own CSS and JS files, all of which are page speed killers. The remotely invoked fonts also contribute to this. My suggestion is to minimize the use of plugins and fonts as much as possible.

Thank you for your help! We will work on these updates.

Hello, thank you again for the support. Since your last message, we’ve taken the following steps:

• We fully set up WP Engine’s Page Speed Boost and enabled all recommended optimizations
• We addressed the font issue by removing a duplicate font plugin, which made a slight improvement
• We audited and removed all unused plugins
• We are now left with the same core plugins we were using before migrating to your theme

Despite this, our mobile performance is still significantly worse than it was prior to switching themes. Given that:

– Images are optimized
– Fonts have been improved
– Plugins have been minimized
– Server and CDN are unchanged

…we’re led to believe that the remaining performance issues are likely coming from the theme’s global CSS/JS loading behavior, especially on WooCommerce product pages.

At this point, we’d appreciate your guidance on what the next steps should be from a theme-level perspective.

Thanks again for your support, we’re keen to get this resolved.

Hello,

I’ve checked your webpage again. The PageSpeed ​​report I received isn’t synchronized with the actual webpage code. This could be due to delays, caching, or CND. If you’re using CND, you should clear its cache. Your webpage compresses and integrates the CSS files, which is good, but PageSpeed ​​still displays them as separate CSS files.

Additionally, the report indicates that the image sizes on the webpage are too large; please compress them to below 100KB.
