Slow Website

Why my website is loading slow?

Sometimes websites load slowly because of the server. You see, a server is like an engine, it sits dormant until someone clicks on your site, and then like a car with a key placed in the ignition, it begins to load up. How this works is that your browser notifies your server asking it to send the data for your website over, so that the site can load. If there is an issue with the server, this will take longer than normal.

You could be having a slow site because you are hosted on a free web hosting.

You are on a low-quality hosting service with poor support.

Or your site needs a higher spec hosting account with more resources eg a VPS. Slow website loading can be caused by several factors including large image files, excessive use of plugins, inefficient code, or a slow hosting server. We can conduct a performance audit to identify and resolve the specific issues affecting your website’s speed.
