I have tested the pagespeed of my site ( http://www.now-vaping.co.uk ) using https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/

The results as follows:

Mobile – 49/100 – Desktop 60/100 – These are extremely poor, in fact, some of the worst results I have ever seen – they will seriously affect site use and searchability to a point that it is not even worth having a site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHOULD FIX: (These are major problems)

Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content

Enable compression - Compressing resources with gzip or deflate can reduce the number of bytes sent over the network.

Leverage browser caching - Setting an expiry date or a maximum age in the HTTP headers for static resources instructs the browser to load previously downloaded resources from local disk rather than over the network.

I have your General Cache and Content Cache turned on and have set the “Output Compression Level GZIP” (under system>settings>server) set at 5 (which seems to be the best setting to use and as tested on other Opencart installations I have)

Your sales literature (as advertised on Themeforest) states that the Pavilion theme is “PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZED” – Clearly it is not.

I have also Pagespeed tested some other sites that use your Pavilion theme with similar results!

Please advise urgently, thank you
