Homepage Button target="_blank"

@jabbadu: Are you talking about the button in Homepage Headline? There is no option at this stage to change it. But you can change it by customizing the catchkathmandu_homepage_headline function in your child theme. So, first build child theme and create functions.php file in your child theme and then add the following code

<?php 
/**
 * Template for Homepage Headline
 *
 * To override this in a child theme
 * simply create your own catchkathmandu_homepage_headline(), and that function will be used instead.
 *
 * @uses catchkathmandu_before_main action to add it in the header
 * @since Catch Kathmandu Pro 1.0

function catchkathmandu_homepage_headline() { 
	//delete_transient( 'catchkathmandu_homepage_headline' );
	
	global $post, $wp_query, $catchkathmandu_options_settings;
   	$options = $catchkathmandu_options_settings;
	
	// Getting data from Theme Options
	$disable_headline = $options[ 'disable_homepage_headline' ];
	$disable_subheadline = $options[ 'disable_homepage_subheadline' ];
	$disable_button = $options[ 'disable_homepage_button' ];
	$homepage_headline = $options[ 'homepage_headline' ];
	$homepage_subheadline = $options[ 'homepage_subheadline' ];
	$homepage_headline_button = $options[ 'homepage_headline_button' ];
	$homepage_headline_url = $options[ 'homepage_headline_url' ];
	
	// Front page displays in Reading Settings
	$page_on_front = get_option('page_on_front') ;
	$page_for_posts = get_option('page_for_posts'); 

	// Get Page ID outside Loop
	$page_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();

	 if ( ( is_front_page() || ( is_home() && $page_for_posts != $page_id ) ) && ( empty( $disable_headline ) || empty( $disable_subheadline ) ) ) {

@ClaudioC: Thanks and when post these type of script. Please use code command or paste your code in https://gist.github.com/ and add in the URL here. Thanks a lot.

@ClaudioC: Thanks for the code. It’s strange why you have loading issues. We have heavy image in our demo site and without cache plugin and it still loads fast. See this http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/c9K0gR/http://catchthemes.com/demo/catch-kathmandu/

Did you try adding in W3 Total Cache plugin. Most of the loading issue are from images.
