How do I fix slow page loading speeds

[brenwill68]

Hi 

I am having problems with very slow page loading times - namely the Home & Shop pages - Once I am on the Shop page, switching between categories and products is reasonably fast - I don't have any videos on my site, however, I do have a large number of images

I have a very fast computer (i7 processor) and fast internet speeds - I do not know how to fix this problem and after 5 months of hard work I am now thinking of moving to another platform? Any advice would be much appreciated

Regards Brendan - Plumb Gear

Hi Arie

I followed your instruction and used Chat to convey my problem - Square support is going to speed up my page loading speeds, however, it may take some time😀

Glad to hear you were able to get in touch with support about this already, @brenwill68!

@brenwill68 ,

I took a quick look at your site out of interest, it didn't seem particularly slow to me (In AU).

Sometimes it's worth looking at the browser development tools (network) and reload the page. You'll see the page load timeline and it may give you a better gauge on what's slowing things down...
