  Drafts are unpublished posts that do not appear on the site. They do not have any impact on page loading time as they are stored in the back end and we cannot delete post revisions.

  For a page speed test see here https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/Mhm5n/http://nationalconscience.wordpress.com/

  How quickly ant site loads is dependent upon what the blogger has done on the site, not on the theme.

  These are the ways to reduce page loading time:
  1. Edit posts and insert “the more tag” so only excerpts appear on the fort page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

  2. Reduce the number of posts appearing on the front page here > Settings > Reading
  Blog pages show at most _ posts

  3. Reduce the number of images and or media embeds displayed and/or make them smaller.

  4. Reduce the number of widgets in the sidebar and footer areas.

  5. Optimize your images prior to uploading them and presize them to exactly fit where you want them to display before you upload them. This can help reduce download time. It will also result in better image quality and you will not be wasting your free image space allocation.
