Hi Tom
But, I’m worrying about my websites’ rankings. They seem OK in Google’s eyes for quite a long time. Frankly, I mainly use the themes from MyThemeShop, Thesis and Genesis. I purchased GP Premium (I think) three months ago ’cause I really (REALLY) like your approach when developing GP.
Here’s one more thing. I have two WooCommerce sites which are running on MTS theme. Both of them are relatively fast loading with 65 queries (around). I use (of course) WooCommerce, other three WooCommerce related plugins, Yoast SEO, WP Simple Related Posts, Autoptimize and Optin Forms plugin.
When testing with same plugins with few dummy data on GP, the queries calls are kinda jaw-dropping.
I read it somewhere (probably MOZ) that the less queries in your website, it’s better and easier to rank. By my experience (not as in theory), it’s true. Anyway, I will go with your words and let me try GP on one of my websites.
