How to Fix Slow Website Load Times
Which part of your website is keeping people waiting? Start with the pages customers rely on, identify the cause of the delay, and check that the improvement holds across the journey.
Locate the delay
Record the affected URL, device, and point at which the page feels slow. Compare several important page types and repeat the check so a single unusual result does not determine the entire plan.
- Landing pages and service pages
- Forms, booking tools, and checkout steps
- Mobile and desktop experiences
Fix the largest causes
Review image delivery, embedded media, scripts, fonts, and server response. Prioritize changes supported by the measurements. Check dependencies before removing an integration your team uses.
- Appropriately sized images and media
- Unnecessary or repeated third-party scripts
- Caching and hosting configuration
Check the whole experience
Repeat the original checks after each meaningful change. Confirm that navigation, forms, and analytics still work, and document the baseline so later changes can be compared fairly.
- Consistent before-and-after conditions
- Functional checks alongside speed checks
- Ongoing review of key pages
