I want to streamline the template and make it as efficient as possible.
Part of this means removing the crap, such as css or javascript that is unused by us.

Tab Options Chosen:

- Layouts
- Responsive Layout and Sidebar positionsing

- Fonts
- We do use the font selectors

- Typography
- We only use the Typography, but no icons

- Menu
- Show Template Menu set to yes

- Social API
- We use nothing from this

- Cookie Law
- We use nothing from this

- Advanced Settings
- We use GK Cache
- We use CSS Cache
- We use CSS Override
- No other options seem to work with our config

As stated, I simply want to get rid of the bloat/crap that is not used or unneeded that may be making the page size larger than it needs to be.

Thanks,
James

Sorry, but we don't support this kind of customisation. You need to do it on your own.
Yet you might ask more precise questions, then we might help.

The question is simple.... with the few options I have selected what .JS and .CSS files can I get rid of and tell the template to NOT call.

For example, gk.scripts.js, gk.menu.js, prefixfree.js, respond.js, selectivizr.js, etc...

My homepage for example is: Total page size: 672KB

My pages inside (once logged in) are in excess of 950KB and I would like them to shrink down by 1/3rd or greater.

We are utilizing Joomla Cache, GK Cache, JCH Optimize, Cloudflare, MaxCDN, GZip, MemCache << Just about everything I can throw at it to get things shrunk down and smaller. I realize this is probably an uncommon request but these templates (all templates) come bloated with extras that a lot of us just don't use. I also realize you create these for the masses and I can definitely make the changes on my own, I am simply asking for your direction with the given settings and given use of cache and optimization how can we gain the most performance from this template?

Thanks,
James

I cant tell you what you can disable/delete. Its up to you to decide which elements you can get ride of devoting some of site look and file.
All the files loaded from template folder are needed by template to work correctly.
