Bolt is the World's Fastest Joomla Template |
|
The Bolt template is like nothing you've ever seen before in Joomla! Named in honor of Usain Bolt, the world's fastest man, it loads in a fraction of the time of its rivals. Despite all the extra flexibility, this is the most optimized template ever made. Depending on how it’s configured, it can use as little as 4 HTTP requests and 15kb between CSS, graphics, and HTML. - The world's fastest Joomla template
- Compressed, lightweight CSS
- Only 8 images, all optimized
- SEO-friendly design with H1 on page titles
- No hidden links
- No bloated code
- No conflicts with other extensions
- No use of Joomla's huge, slow Javascript file

Slow Websites Will Cost You Money |
|
Google have just announced that the speed of your site will start directly affecting your profits. If you're using Adwords, fast landing pages will lead to a better Quality Score. Slow sites may well end up paying more for their clicks. More from the Google Adwords blog: "Why are we doing this? Two reasons: first, users have the best experience when they don't have to wait a long time for landing pages to load. Interstitial pages, multiple redirects, excessively slow servers, and other things that can increase load times only keep users from getting what they want: information about your business. Second, users are more likely to abandon landing pages that load slowly, which can hurt your conversion rate." |
