    Hi

    Sorry if the question has already been answered.

    I Have just developed my first child theme. The question is whether it will take much loading time or less loading time or its always take the same time as the main theme.

    I have not derived any themework , Just developed my own theme and then developed one child theme. SO all the code are located in the main theme. Every thing i want to change has to be recreated every time in a new file.

    Thanks in advance for all your answers in advance.

    It depends on what you’ve done in your child theme.

    It will never take less loading time than the parent theme, because both of them will always be loaded. If the changes in your child theme consist primarily of CSS changes, the styles will be cached in the visitor’s browser once they hit the first page they reach on your site, so the performance difference will be negligible. If your changes include a lot of added resources, function calls, etc, the difference will be that much more (but not noticeably more than using a parent theme with the same kind of added complexity.)
