    I have been using Genesis Framework for 3.5 years, and I have been very happy with the results, but now I want to speed up my load times. I use Minimum Pro, which is a fairly "lite" theme, but I want to simplify, and I'm wondering if there are any StudioPress themes specifically designed to be especially fast loading, by reducing javascript files, combining CSS into one file, etc?

    Are there any themes that meet these requirements better than others?

    Thanks.

    Themes have less to do with loading times than the number of plugins, analytics scripts, un-optimized images, server configuration, and external files. "External files" means things loaded from other servers and CDNs that are beyond your span of control.

    It's not possible for any theme developer to predict what a person will do on their site after a theme is installed. Use a good caching plug-in like WP Rocket and you'll be able to work through the tasks required to improve your load times.

    So, to specifically answer your question, no, there are no themes that meet your requirements.
