Speed up a Drupal web site by using a simpler theme

A Drupal theme controls the look of a web site by setting text colors, fonts, and decorative images. Speed up a web site by selecting a theme that has fewer and smaller images and CSS files. This will make your web pages smaller, faster to send to your site's visitors, and easier for their web browsers to draw.The CSS and image files of Drupal's default "Garland" theme account for up to 50% of the page size. Other themes are much larger with more CSS, images, and JavaScript. Speed up a site by using a simpler theme with fewer files to download on every page.A wide variety of free themes are available in the Themes section of the Drupal web site. The themes vary a lot in size and complexity. To know more about size of common themes visit Speed up a Drupal web site by using a simpler theme.
