Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Atahualpa performance optimization using w3 cache and CDN networks

I just decreased my page load times from 3-10 seconds even on refresh (extremely annoying and damaging in all ways) to less than 1 second, even for logged-in users (that in theory are not being cached). I followed procedure in this excellent article:

http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/ho...for-beginners/

And this one:

http://netdnacdn.jira.com/wiki/displ...W3+Total+Cache

For installing W3 Total Cache plugin and MAXCDN (a CDN or content delivery network) to my site. MAXCDN costs $40 the first year ($30 with the wpbeginner discount code, check the article) and then $99 a year after that. I am a commercial provider so this was a no-brainer, however, I think that excellent results could be had just by setting the w3 cache image , css and js expiration settings (to encourage browser caching) through W3 cache > Browser cache setting and then enabling all the settings (set expires header, set cache control header etc)

This is a huge relief as Atahualpa was becoming unmanageable with 6-7 javascripts, large CSS files and lots images on my sites.
