Hi
I have been looking at page load times using the Google "page speed online" tool, on a couple of site that use your templates. They are great for one site, using the Black and White template, at www.linemine.com, and also I tested your demo home page for the Pixellove template, which also gives very good load times. However, on my home page at www.skillshed.co.uk, I am getting much lower values, and the summary is showing the main background (main_bg.png) and column background (column_bg.png) as files which need compressing. These two files don't show up at all on the test I ran on your demo of the template. Why? Do I need to change a setting somewhere? I can't believe you have craftily optimised the background files on the demo and not told us?:) Its even harder to understand as there is practically no content on the SkillSHED site at the moment. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Fantastic templates, by the way. Thank you.
