Common Question Regarding Thrive Themes

Some people are asking whether using Thrive Themes and its plugins will slow down your site.

I personally use Thrive products for all my websites and I know Thrive products usually have huge file sizes which sometimes require FileZilla to upload them onto your site.

However, I don't have any site speed issues while using Thrive products. Probably because Thrive products are usually well-coded (I guess).

So, if you're having a slow site while using Thrive Themes, try to do the steps I shared in this training first to see if it helps.

If not, you can contact both WA SiteSupport and Thrive Support at the same time. I'm sure they'll be able to help you.

Appearance > Themes
Then hover over a theme that is not in use and click Theme details.
In the window that opens, click Delete in the bottom right corner.

Go to your themes > Click on the theme you want to delete and there's a "delete" button at the bottom right corner :)

Good stuff Jerry.

Really appreciate you taking time to write this out!

On Lesson 2, Do you know if that affects SEO at all?

Also, do you know of a bulk way to turn it off on all pages and posts?

Hi Chris!
Do you mean if deleting the unused stuffs affects SEO?

For those published posts & pages, if your original setting is to have trackbacks and pingbacks turned on, you have to edit it one by one.

You can only change the setting for all your future contents in the WordPress Discussion setting page.

Does turning off the trackbacks and pingbacks affect SEO. IDK why it would, but I guess i need to do more research as to what it is! lol.

Thanks for the info, I will use this stuff to speed up the site.

Do you think Thrive makes the site run slowly at all? I dont think so, just curious your thoughts.

Hi Chris, here is a good post you can refer to to learn more about trackbacks and pingbacks.

Basically, they have both pros and cons. But many believe that they are dead today. Check it out yourself :) I'm also learning at the same time!

As for Thrive Themes and its plugins, I know they have huge file sizes. However, they work great on my end. Maybe because their products are well-coded.

There are some people having issue with Thrive products but I don't know much about that because it doesn't happen on my end. If you have any issue, you should approach SiteSupport and Thrive Support!
