    Hi all,

    I would appreciate any input from users of the Avada theme on how well it works out for you, especially with things like load time.
    I am using Avada for another site I designed but I am thinking of testing it with my GD powered site I am currently building.

    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Avada looked very nice, but in the end it had many issues especially with load time. I stopped using avada and have a better user experience and load time now.

    Can not say Avada is bad, but I just did not have much luck with it personally.

    i would recommend using gtmetrix on all the demo sites and your own with GDF. i use visual composer at the moment with GDF and it is still below 800kb for the front page while avada,x were well above in size and loading time. it is absolutely fine for low traffic but when you have active visitors on the site with a premium shared host still it will take its toll.

    i would honestly love to see a child theme that has a really nice header and all the compatibility with bbpress,buddypress,woocommerce AND visual composer.

    with this we could build any kind of look for the site with keeping users online too and even sell some stuff 😉

    ps.:i tried avada,x,kleo,GDF,Modern childtheme and now GoodNews too(still in progress to make it compatible) right now im on modern with some css mods thanks to the support from GD 😉 my whole homepage is built in VC using the widgetised sidebar and other elements. just bought another extension where the programer will have a look to add the GD shortcodes too to have them available as VC element 😀

    Thanks for the feedback! Avada works well on other sites I am involved with but due to the complexity of GD I don’t think I will go in that direction. Speed is absolutely essential so no shared host for me. I am currently using GDF and exploring Bootstrap as well.
