Tell us what you are trying to do?
Reviewing GeneratePress documentation. It’s built on the Unsemantic framework: hidden link I have read that adding bootstrap will add weight to the site.

Should I use or disable Bootstrap with the GeneratePress Theme?

If Disabled, what is lost?

What is the link to your site?

This is a staging site, and not yet published.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

The use of Bootstrap library is optional with Toolset plugins, so that users can benefit from the styles and scripts components that this library offers, on top of what their active theme includes.

If you find the GeneratePress theme's design components adequate for your need, then you don't have to enable the loading of Bootstrap through Toolset plugins.

The impact on Toolset's features will be minor and the most prominent one that I can think of is that you won't be able to drag-and-drop the Toolset Forms fields into grid/columns. But, the same can be achieved using custom CSS code, as needed.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
