Measure before changing everything

Use a baseline test before making changes. Record page URL, device type, connection, load time and key issues.

Images are common speed killers

Resize images to display size, compress them and avoid uploading full phone-camera photos when smaller images would work.

Hosting still matters

If server response is consistently slow before the page loads, a better host, plan, cache or configuration may be needed.
