Hello!
First, I say thanks for the SuperShop theme for designers and developers - it's really modern theme oriented on various product segments. That's why I choosed it and paid my money to purchase the theme.
Second, as result of lots of JavaScript code on a frontpage, we got a dramatic performance issue. Other pages (not a frontpage) are also too slow but it's not a critical enough.
In compare with default theme the frontpage upload time is 3-4 times longer (default ~4sec, SuperShop ~12-14 sec)
Business impact - leeds are going out from my website with no any purchases, because visitors are seen a slow frontpage, and they decide to search for other, much faster, relevant webshop, than to spend a time on my site. Sad.
Having beginner's web development experience, I did spend a lot of my time (well, it almost a month) trying to optimize JS and CSS in SuperShop. No great results achieved. A lot of CSS declarations are redefined each other. I also used the csstidy tool to reduce CSS size and got some results reducing code size up to 20%.
But main problem is JavaScript. I see that it's actually need to make all this glamor storefront frontpage with compact custom tabs, but executing JS on page upload makes a big delay.
Here I expect a performance optimization for the SuperShop theme. I know it's ain't easy to optimize JS in PrestaShop 1.6 (while waiting for 1.7 version with relevant promises from PS core developers team), so I expect to get some performance updates from SuperShop developers as soon as it possible, and any optimization tips are also welcome.
Please help me. I wasted a lot of time on SuperShop and have no more time for migration to another theme.
My best regards for developers - look forward for the theme updates ASAP.
