My Google PageSpeed test results have been pretty poor for most of the sites I've built using Genesis (especially the mobile versions).

As I've always thought of Genesis as being a fast solution for WordPress sites, and even some of my sites with minimal graphics aren't testing well, I'm confused by the poor results. Case in point:

Does anyone have any knowledge of why this might be, and if there's a reasonable solution?

There's more to page speed than just Genesis and the theme. I recorded a video for you here.

Love coffee, chocolate and my Bella!

Thank you. Greatly appreciate that video. I didn't realize Genesis theme items would show up there, so that was quite helpful. I'll check out the plugin. Sounds like I have some work ahead of me on this.

Thanks.
