Slow page loading, top navigation shows up very late

[evangelize]

Hi!

My website recently started loading slow.  You can see everything but the top navigation.  The text in the navigation is invisible until it finishes loading, (just tested, 71 seconds for top navigation to appear), so it looks like there is no navigation.  When it is invisible you can still click on the links though.  Any help would be appreciated. 

I suspect it may be my RSS feed, I am using https://rss.bloople.net/, a free RSS feed widget.  Just visited it and it loaded very slow.  Thoughts?

Thanks!

Here is the link.

Hi @evangelize 👋

It's definitely possible the third party code is causing this. I recommend removing it from your site temporarily, then publishing the site to see if it is still loading slowly.

Thanks Bernadette! Does anyone know of any other free RSS widgets I could use?

We might have one in the Weebly App Center, otherwise, I recommend searching on Google for one with good reviews.

Thank you Bernadette!  Replacing the RSS widget did solve the problem, and thanks for the recommendation about the RSS reader! God Bless.
