Bootplate is super-fast, but we wanted it to be even faster. The latest v1.2 release of Bootplate includes an entire Performance setting control added to the Customizer.  When you’re finished setting up your new Bootplate-powered WordPress theme, head over to Appearance >> Customize >> Performance and configure the performance boosts per the documentation.

Judging by several tests we’ve run using PageSpeed Insights and Pingdom, you can expect up to a 20% page loading speed improvement!  That’s nothing to be taken lightly.

If you installed the Bootplate theme framework according to the installation instructions, you should see a theme update available very soon.  Just click Update Theme and head over to Appearance >> Customize >> Performance to get started.  Here are our performance setting suggestions.

This update was inspired by a post about adding a CDN to Bootplate.  That could end up being pretty darn expensive, but the roots of a great idea where there.

Got any other performance ideas for us?  Let us know in comments below.
