Website loading speed

[Alexander Schneider]

Hi Livemesh,

we just recently had our website checked by an SEO consultant.
He showed us via an “website speedtest”-tool that there are a couple of things, slowing the website loading speed down — which is an important factor for website ranking on google.

One important advice was: “Remove query strings from static resources”. This is related to a big number of plugins, most of them directly related to the Fusion template, which are slowing the website loading speed down:

Is there anything we have done wrong with the implementation, causing our website to be slower than necessary?
Do you have some advice or update, which will help us speed it up?

Thanks, best
