How do I make my website load faster?



User: Paul-RAGESW 2 days ago
Most slow pages are slow because of large photos and videos.

1. Test it. Go to Google PageSpeed Insights, enter your website address and look at the Mobile results first. The list under the score names what's slowing the page.
2. Make photos smaller. A photo from a phone or camera is often 3 to 10MB. Aim for under 500KB each: resize it closer to the size it shows on the page and save it as a JPEG. To swap a photo you've already used, right-click it in the Assets list and choose Replace Asset....
3. Turn on Export Optimized Images in File > Edit Publishing Settings. EverWeb then also publishes smaller WebP copies of your pictures. Publishing takes longer, mostly the first time.
4. Lazy load lower pictures. Select a picture further down the page and tick Lazy load image under Fill in Inspector > Shape Options.
5. Put videos on YouTube or Vimeo instead of in your project.
6. Keep each page light: one gallery or slider per page is usually plenty, use effects on a few objects, and two fonts are usually enough.
7. Publish with File > Publish Entire Site and check in a private browser window.
