Can’t figure out how to fix slow loading in particular Total Blocking Time

  • PageSpeed is rightly complaining about TBT, but I cant seem to figure out why is it happening. Checked Minimize main-thread work and Avoid long main-thread tasks, created a staging version stripped down to only essential plugins, still same bad TBT, and tried so many stuff that I don’t know what else to try or how to proceed / debug it.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hello @snippet24

    Slow loading times and high Total Blocking Time (TBT) can be caused by several factors, including server performance, poorly optimized code, excessive plugin use, and large file sizes. 

    Here are my suggestions; kindly check if you have considered them:

    Minimize HTTP requests: Each resource your site loads, such as images, scripts, and stylesheets, requires a separate HTTP request. Minimizing the number of requests can help reduce TBT. You can use a plugin such as WP Minify or WP Fastest Cache to combine and minify your site’s resources.

    Use a caching plugin: Caching plugins can help reduce TBT by storing frequently accessed pages and files in the user’s browser or the server, reducing the number of requests required to load the page. Popular caching plugins include WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache.

    Hosting plan: Slow server performance can cause high TBT. Upgrading to a higher-tier hosting plan or switching to a better web hosting service can improve your site’s TBT and overall performance.

    These steps can help improve your site’s TBT and reduce its overall loading times.

    I’m getting like four long running tasks that don’t have a name, then how can I know what or where is the script being invoked?
