Performance Improvements to decrease page load times
Running a number of my Microweber sites through site performance tools shows that there are a few areas that could be improved to maximise the performance of the sites.
Example Tools: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
https://gtmetrix.com/
Example Performance Updates:
- Ability to turn on GZip compression
- Minify CSS, JS, etc.
- Load CSS, JS, etc. AFTER the main page load
- Minimise image sizes as part of the upload/edit process

Hello,
In update 1.0.7 the performance is improved. We have added some caching with .htaccess and reduced the HTTP requests a lot.
We also added GZip compression for the whole site main .htaccess
For example the new pagespeed rank for the "Shopmag" template is 77/100 it was 45/100 before

These are good ideas for improvement.
For me, Microweber seems to work pretty fast, but can be slow at times.
I think a big factor for this is due to the fact that the code that microweber puts out is less than ideal. I noticed that when a module is added, the javascript and CSS files are loaded within the page itself, instead of in the header or footer. This may be causing some the speed issues.
