My Site Is Slow

My Site Is Slow

There are many reasons why a page or site can load slow. First, the most common issue we see are clients activating a huge number of extra plugins that are not required for their site. These plugins slow down your site since each plugin loads its own resources from our server and other servers. Usually deactivating some plugins will increase page loading speed.

If you would like detailed page metrics and speed tests, please use the services below. Our team can also do a website audit on our end and help discover any issues.

Use the links above to test your site. All of them are free for basic use.

Additionally, your website's resource loading order and render-blocking resources play a huge role in your load times. If we built the site, we address this during our build process, but if your website was built by someone else then this could be a potential area for concern. 

There are plugins out there to help reduce resource blocking content, but the entire process is daunting to most people and theres a lot of ways it can affect your website. Please contact us if that's the case, and our team will help.
