Page speed (font issue I think)

Issue I am having is that developers.google rates our page speed as very slow – ground2tap . co . za

Now essentially I am not really that worried about our page speed, as I think it is fast enough and when I use other page speed tests, some of them rate us as quite good. However, for Google Ads, one of the input metrics into where ads appear on the google search page and how much you are charged for ads, is the landing page experience, of which page load speed is a big input… So, I really need developers.google to recognise my page load speed to perform better in my google ads.

A few observations:

  • When I view our page source code, I see that ‘<body’ is on line ~4,900 and is preceded by mainly a bunch of font code…

  • I have ensured that we only use one font throughout the website (Raleway), so I am not sure why this ‘font’ code is here?

  • Unfortunately, Wix doesn’t allow me to edit the page code… So I can’t delete this…

  • I have already gone through the process of reducing the size of all my images on the site, so this shouldn’t slow it down…

  • I even went to the extent of rebuilding the entire site, but ended up with the same result, all the font code preceding my body code…

I hope someone can help!

Thanks,
Stephen

Hello!
I don’t think you can do anything about it with code. Things you should know:

  1. Upgrade to a premium plan gives you more bandwidth to make page faster.

  2. More pages means more content to load.

  3. More data in database means more loading time.

  4. more stuff means more loading time.

You can recheck your site’s loading time here:

Thanks Arthur,
Do you know why I have ~3000 lines of font code in my page script even though I have only used 1 font throughout the website?
Best,
Stephen

Also not sure why the Google Developer shows a score of 44/100 vs the Wix Turbo site rating our site as VERY FAST? (pics attached)
