Slow site loading due to LCP

I tried to reduce the weight of the images and much more but nothing… loading according to PageSpeed ​​Insights is slow therefore penalizing my SEO. This results in a rendering delay
of 9.5 sec. Could anyone please know what is blocking the loading? A thousand thanks

Hi @IL_BOSCHETTO_VIVAI

It sounds like the slow loading issue is primarily due to LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), which often involves images or other large elements on your site. Since you’ve already optimized images, here are a few additional steps to address the issue:

Preload Key Fonts: Use preload for critical fonts to ensure they load faster, improving LCP. Here’s an example of how to add preload for fonts:

Lazy Load Non-Essential Images: Ensure images below the fold or that aren’t immediately needed are lazy-loaded to speed up LCP. Wix automatically lazy loads images, but you can also adjust this setting for better performance.

Optimize Your Code: Minimize JavaScript and CSS files to reduce blocking resources during page rendering. You can use Velo by Wix for this optimization if you’re adding custom code.

After appying these changes on the website, check your site’s performance again to check the impact on product page speed and get more actionable suggestions.

As an alternative to manual optimizations, you can explore Website Speedy—our speed optimization Wix App that handles CLS performance enhancements automatically.

It comes with a 14-day free trial, making it easy to test and implement optimizations.

Hi @IL_BOSCHETTO_VIVAI

You’re welcome! Let’s break it down step by step:

Preloading key fonts ensures that important fonts are loaded faster, which helps reduce LCP. Here’s how you can do it:

  • Step 1: Go to the SEO (Google) section of your Wix Editor for the page you want to optimize.
  • Step 2: Add a link tag in the custom code section of your site to preload the fonts. Here’s an example of the code you would use:
  • Step 3: Replace the font URL with the one you’re using on your site. This tells the browser to prioritize loading the font files early on.

Lazy loading ensures that images not immediately visible to users (such as those below the fold) are only loaded when the user scrolls to them. Here’s how to implement it:

Step 1: Wix automatically lazy loads images by default, but if you want to adjust this setting:

  • Open the Site Editor.
  • Go to Settings > SEO > Advanced SEO.
  • Ensure that the option for lazy loading is checked.

Once you apply these changes, revisit your site’s performance using PageSpeed Insights or Wix’s built-in performance tools. Check to see if there are any further actionable insights for improving speed.
