Re: Slow loading times on my Square Online website...

Hi everyone!

I'm currently experiencing slow loading times on my Square Online store, and it's really hurting my user experience and Google ranking. According to PageSpeed Insights, my site’s Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) is around 4 seconds, and my Total Blocking Time (TBT) is over 5000 ms. Even the initial load sometimes takes several seconds, which isn't ideal for Google indexing or my customers.

I've tried Compressing and resizing images

Despite these efforts, my site still feels slow. Has anyone else run into this issue with Square Online? What are some best practices or workarounds you’ve used to speed things up?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help
