**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.

Hii @Simon_Fortin I’ve reviewed your site on [Google PageSpeed Insights](https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-www-uriseup-ca/sko1fjx3zv?hl=fr&form_factor=mobile), 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

1. **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.

2. **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**](https://www.wix.com/app-market/web-solution/websitespeedy) app. It’s built specifically for **Wix and Wix Studio** users and works to automatically improve load speed and **Core Web Vitals.**
