[Support request] PageSpeed Insights 74 on mobile

[Yulia]

Hi,

I’ve just installed a brand new Generatepress theme with Marketer Starter website http://www.mattressblog.co.uk/koren. I checked it with Google PageSpeed Insights and it shows the status Needs improvement for mobile from the start. Desktop is over 90 though, can’t complain, but still the mobile is not enough.

I went for Generate press because I wanted to create a top notch speed website with no underlying issues from the beginning. Could you comment on how to improve the speed and is it possible to exceed 90 for mobile at all?

Thank you!

This kind of issue is usually addressed by using caching and optimization plugins.

You can try using Autoptimize: https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/

You can also check our brief documentation on how to configure it.

As for other things, you can try preloading your fonts to improve the site’s performance further:

Here’s David’s tips on how to do it:

After implementing this, test your site again to check if you need to improve on other aspects.

Let us know if you need further information.
