991 PointsBootstrap vs Foundation pagespeed: which one is faster?
If I build the exact same site with Bootstrap and with Foundation, then try to optimize the pagespeed as much as possible: wich one will be faster?

14,028 PointsIt depends. Keep in mind you are loading like 100k in a minified css file for Bootstrap and 135k for Foundation (plus their respective js files if necessary) which is going to be less than just one high resolution image on the site.
You can make these files even lighter by doing a custom build and only taking the items you need for your production environment.
The only thing that will affect page load speeds is the size of the actual minified css file you are using. So, smaller css file = faster page load.
Here is a cool site where you can do some testing on page load speeds.
