Can someone tell me if there is a simple thing I can do to improve my landing page's loading times?

Hi all, this isn’t as in-depth a question as some on here, but hopefully it’ll be an easy one to answer.

I have a landing page made using Wix:
https://www.worldoforochi.com

When I navigate to that URL in any browser…

  1. The page initially loads
  2. There’s a kind of “stall” for maybe 1-2 seconds
  3. The page then finishes loading

I’m just wondering, are there any really basic things I can do that would optimise the page? I’ve already performed a pass to reduce the size of all the images, so they’re as good as they can be before I start to really compromise on quality - this seemed the prudent place to start.

Just wondering if there is anything else, perhaps something specific to Wix, that might be able to make this a bit more slick.

What size are those images you’re using? If they haven’t been optimized, doing so could cut down your load time significantly.

As I said in the original post, they are optimised. I just tried this:

According to that, the page is 5.3mb in size, of which ~2mb is purely script, leaving less than 3mb for images. Given that the page is quite image-rich (which is unavoidable), I think that’s the best I can do.

The largest image is ~250k, and there are 2 images that size (large ones which are necessary, as they show the book, which is the product, and need to be pin-sharp on mobile retina screens). The rest of the images tend to be under 100k, many of them much smaller - so it isn’t like there’s one monster 4mb image or something.

I understand, just making sure that they were indeed a proper size, which seems to be the case.
I suspect you could also improve loading time by cutting back on some of your animations like on the star ratings, but honestly I loaded the page just now much faster than before on a different browser without the cache and it loaded much more quickly than before which leads me to believe it’s something to do with server loads.

Hi,
I recommend checking out this article. For questions and help regarding this matter, please contact Wix Support team .

Have a good day,

Thanks for the assistance; I removed all of the animations and the page is much more responsive on-load. They looked nice, but as this is a landing page responsiveness is better.

Good to hear! The parallax strip effects give it a clean dynamic so it still looks great.
