A little about BusinessClass
BusinessClass was build with search engines in mind. It is a flawless multi purpose theme with more than 120 settings. It’s a perfect responsive and gorgeous SEO friendly and SEO optimized WordPress business and corporate theme – It has all meta tags, SEO plugin collection, perfect page speed and on-page SEO together with a slick responsive design and fully optimized clean light code. BusinessClass is fully responsive, mobile optimized and retina ready.

Next Generation Seo Theme
BusinessClass is coded in a new way, where it loads everything async and have carefully enqueued scripts so it loads as quick as possble. Almost every theme loads JS, CSS and much other code in an old and outdated way – We have tested this theme on many different servers and testing it with the tool Pingdom pagespeed test which compares it to the rest of the internet.

On slow servers the theme had an average load of 0.8 seconds, making it faster than 89% of all other websites. On decent to fast servers it went all the way down to 600 milliseconds seconds, making it faster than 94% of all other websites.

It won’t be long before a lot of themes start copying this technique to optimize the load time, but until then we are the first movers, which we are very proud of.

To cut down load time to an absolute minimum have we used as little Javascript as possible, which means smooth scrolling and other features are not available right now – But we are currently working on a way to implement it without slowing down the pagespeed, which is a challenge, but a doable one.

BusinessClass works with many plugins such as:

• WooCommerce
• bbPress
• Mailchimp
• Contact Form 7
