Help with slow website

We have some general recommendations at https://developer.www.ads-software.com/advanced-administration/performance/optimization/

For specific recommendations, try a tool like https://gtmetrix.com or https://tools.pingdom.com

Hi..

Use https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/tenweb-speed-optimizer/ Plugin & connect your site with https://my.10web.io/ site.

& Use plugin WP-DBManager for database optimize.

I Hope this will help you.

Hello there,

I had a look at your website and there are many issues – honestly you would need to re-think the way on which you build the site, because it’s built without following good web design and optimization practices. You can make some progress if you do some stuff:

1. I am not sure if you need https://widget.feedaty.com/v3.0.0/js/2021/10217156/feedaty.min.js – script and for what, but it’ taking over 3 seconds to load and that script has more of scripts and resources related to it – https://prnt.sc/Fc9meHL6tmcN – which overall takes at least 3,4 seconds of your site loading time.
2. This script is also taking a lot of time, 4,5 seconds – https://prnt.sc/bL0SDTpAwtxU – re-visit it’s purpose and don’t use it if you don’t actually need it
3. You have 3 gtag scripts -> https://prnt.sc/ZvMfPIMeiUad – I am not sure why do you need so many? One should be enough for tracking purposes.
4. Disable Google Fonts and use only font weights which you are actually using on the site – you can use a plugin to load only specific fonts and to serve them locally, I had nice experience with https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/yabe-webfont plugin, but there are many others you can try.
5. Remove font awesome totally, find only icons which you use on the site and compile them using https://icomoon.io/app/#/select – for example instead of loading whole font awesome pack with hundred of icons, you can only load 10-20 icons which you use on the site.
6. Use https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/flying-scripts/ plugin to delay execution of some scripts which don’t need to load at the same time as website is fetched, for example you can delay gtag script, clarity script etc.
7. Don’t lazy load images which are in the FCP, exclude them from lazy load, remove animations from them to prevent layout shifts.

This list could go on more and more but it would take a lot of time to cover everything, I hope it’s enough to help you to make some progress.

Kind Regards.

Thank you for all the answers, I’ll look into these issues. About your answer @wpmajestic, the site was previously created by someone else and I’m trying to fix it. The main problem Is I can’t actually locate all the scripts you mentioned in order to remove them. The first one is necessary to show customer reviews; two of the Google Tags weren’t deployed by me and I can’t find their location. Also, do you have any resource you would recommend to build websites better and look into the issues you didn’t mention in this list?

Hello @lucas6888,

This stuff about building website properly from the start – you will find a lot of general guidance on Google search and YouTube if you type best web design and development practices for WordPress, etc. Tips and tricks come with experience, to be able to recognize what can be fixed and how it can be fixed. Definitely try to lazy load that script with reviews, it takes 4 seconds of your site loading time, and that’s just a small part of what needs to be done.

For your site, you can start by addressing issues from here – https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.gommespecial.it/xKEkCOhv and here -> https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-gommespecial-it/qztouse85w?hl=it&form_factor=mobile – you need to research each issue to understand how to tackle it, it’s not something which you can do fast, it will surely take days and days efforts to figure out – but these things are complex and sometimes be hard to tweak even for us who are doing this daily.

Kind regards.

I tried to apply some of the recommendations given, I realized it may be faster to use an optimization plugin but I don’t like to hide issues under a third party service. I’m trying to figure out why the LCP takes so much time to load, after hours of research none of the possible solutions worked: preload the background images, optimize images, and so on. Here is the LCP portion of the home page:

I would appreciate some specific advice on this because nothing seems to work. Maybe the theme just isn’t optimized to be fast and now there’s a certain limit to how much I can improve? But 14.000ms for the LCP looks way too much.

My website:

Thank you in advance
