    Hello,

    I am looking for a new free/premium theme for the first link in my signature. It is currently based upon WP-COMFY theme but the loading/latency time is high due serveral scripting used within the theme. I have chosen this theme as it gives me the possibility to show the recent added posts within a category on the homepage. This is really a must as my site is a sort of university directory.

    I am urgently seeking for a theme that covers the following requirements/functionalities;

    - Show latest posts of categories on home page !!!
    - Low javascript usage
    - Search engine optimized
    - Preferable XHTML / CSS / W3C Compliant (coding)
    - Fresh but Professional 2010 look and feel
    - General speaking fast loading
    - Fits the type of business (education)

    Hope to get lots of TIPS for the best Wordpress THEME for my first signature link.

    Thanks in advance!!

    nice theme, i hadn't seen that one before.

    are you sure it is the theme slowing it down because I get nothing nothing nothing then bam the whole page is there as if it is your server connection being a bit dozy?

    For the specific target audience (India) it can take up to 20 seconds.......

    I did a complete check with many tools and javascript + Jquery takes a lot of loading time. First http call takes around 3,4 seconds....

    it uses jQuery and loading time at http://www.webpagetest.org/result/100317_629E/ is also very long.
    China is used as reference point, over 20 seconds loading time. But is quite interesting as i didn't knew this one yet.

    Thanks
