I have tired everything to get a site with Salient theme enabled to score over 38 on google pagespeed. But the only thing that can increase it is removing salient altogether. I feel strongly that the Lab Data are the numbers that matter the most for the main pagespeed score. It seems as though Salient is doing too much processing. I'd like to know if this is on your guys' radar and what the team's timeline is for solving this if it is.
