Why Is Your Website Slow?
Short answer
Large images, too many scripts and apps, and cheap shared hosting are the most common causes. Compress images, remove unused scripts and test the site on a phone over mobile data.
Why It Happens
- Heavy images. Photos straight from a camera or phone are far too big for the web.
- Too many scripts. Chat widgets, trackers and apps all slow the first load.
- Weak hosting. Shared servers slow down when other sites get busy.
What to Do
Run your home page through Google PageSpeed Insights. Fix the biggest item first, usually images, then test again on a real phone.
Checklist
- Compress and resize every image.
- Remove apps and scripts you no longer use.
- Load chat and tracking scripts after the page.
- Use good hosting close to your customers.
- Test on a mid-range phone over mobile data.
