Question: My site is taking 4-5 seconds to load after clicking a link to another page from the homepage. How can I optimize the site speed and improve the navigation speed between pages?
Product: Wix Studio
What are you trying to achieve: I am trying to enhance the navigation speed of my website. After clicking a link from the homepage to another page, the transition takes too long (4-5 seconds). I want the next page to load quickly and improve the overall performance of the site. I’ve checked the site speed in Wix, and it shows that the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) for the homepage is 4.2 seconds and for the emp page is 4.5 seconds, both of which are indicated in red for poor performance.
What have you already tried: I have explored the page opening options in Wix, which allow pages to open in a new window or the current window. Opening in a new window loads quickly, but opening in the current window results in a slow loading time of 4-5 seconds for the UI, after which other elements start loading. I am using custom JavaScript code with Velo on both the homepage and the emp page, which may contribute to the loading times.
Additional information: I would appreciate any suggestions for optimizing the site speed, particularly regarding navigation between pages. Are there specific best practices or resources available for improving performance in Wix Studio, especially when using custom JavaScript?
