Is your website slow? Here is why, and the fix

Every second of loading delay costs you visitors before they see anything at all. Here are the most common causes.

• Large images that were never compressed before upload.
• Cheap or overcrowded hosting with slow response times.
• Too many plugins and scripts that are not actually being used.
• External fonts or tools loading from slow sources.

A site that takes 5 seconds to load means half the visitors left before seeing anything.
