One of the things i am noticing about the website is speed and performance. is there anything I should look at for speeding up the site with your theme? Can you take a quick peek at our site (www.pei.com) and let me know what you think might help!
Hey Guys - it went from 8.2 seconds to 7.2 seconds. I need it much lower than that. Any suggestions on next steps that might continue to get that number down?
I went through and optimized the main larger images and it brought the homepage down to around 6.7s. Getting better but not quite there yet. Any suggestions?

Hey Adam,
Thanks for reaching out to us regarding this query.
I'm going to ask that you install the plugin here then go to the WPCF Editor and ensure that the Memory Limit is at least 128M.
Enable the cache option that's above the Memory settings.
Once you've done this, please test the site and let me know if you observe any differences.
I hope this helps,
Kind Regards.

I am going to go through and optimize ALL images on the homepage to lower the page size. I will update with how that affects speed.
