This seems like a lot of plugins? Though must admit I like the sound of some and am using others like AMP and sumome.

Just got 71/100 for a site that has NO content yet! That's quite concerning! I hope this isn't a problem with the paid theme. Goodness knows how I'm supposed to sort that out when it's not even a content issue.
