Question:
How can I increase the loading speed of a website?
Product:
Wix Studio
What are you trying to achieve:
I’m trying to increase the loading speed of my whole website… I can take up to 7 seconds just for something to appear ton the page.
What have you already tried:
I’ve tried compressing all the images and videos on the website. I also reduced the amount of animation to 0. I’ve reached out to wix support, but they were no help. And ,y client is not satisfied with the site speed.
Additional information:
This is the website
Hii @Simon_Fortin I’ve reviewed your site on Google PageSpeed Insights, and the most critical performance issue is with your LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) score, especially on mobile devices. This directly affects how quickly your main content appears — and it’s currently causing a delay of several seconds.
The LCP bottleneck appears to be caused by the hero section, particularly the custom font-family used for banner text. Custom fonts take additional time to download and render, which delays visible text — a key part of the LCP score.
Recommended Fixes
-
Use Wix Default Fonts:
Switch to Wix’s built-in fonts instead of custom ones. Default fonts load instantly without blocking content rendering and are optimized for all breakpoints.
-
Apply font-display: swap for Web Fonts (If Custom Fonts Must Be Used):
While Wix doesn’t currently expose direct CSS injection into font styles, you can:
- Try replacing fonts with similar-looking default ones.
- Or, if using custom code via Velo or an embed, ensure the font includes display: swap to allow fallback text to render immediately while the font loads.
Alternative, If you’d prefer not to handle all optimizations manually, I recommend trying our Website Speedy app. It’s built specifically for Wix and Wix Studio users and works to automatically improve load speed and Core Web Vitals.
