Question:
Does anyone else have the problem that Wix Restaurant Orders is so incredibly slow? My site takes 6-7 seconds to load, among other things. All my images have been compressed (the largest is max. 100kb).
Has this already been fixed by someone?
Product:
Wix Restaurant Orders & Wix Restaurant Menus
What are you trying to achieve:
I want loading times of <2 seconds
What have you already tried:
I compressed my images. I deleted all items except for 1 dish and still the loading times are so bad. I contacted Wix support but no one could help.
Additional information:
On my website, I have about 95 dishes, all with pictures and modifiers groups.
Hey, we have the same issue! Also taking around 7 seconds to load
Hi,
It sounds like a tough situation! Since you’ve already compressed your images and minimized the content, the slow load times could be due to the large menu with many items and modifiers. The fact that even with only one dish showing, your loading times are still high suggests there may be something else affecting your site’s performance.
Lazy Loading: Ensure lazy loading is enabled for images, so only images within the user’s viewport are loaded initially. This can help reduce load times for sites with many images. If this is already enabled, Wix may still be processing each image as part of the page load, so check if there’s any setting that can optimize this further.
Caching: Wix caches parts of your website to speed up repeat visits, but if your cache settings aren’t optimized, it can result in slower load times. You might want to clear your cache or adjust caching settings to see if that helps.
Wix Restaurant Settings: Try adjusting the settings for the Wix Restaurant Orders app. Sometimes, turning off unnecessary features (like too many upsell options or dynamic pricing) can help speed up the site. Additionally, check if there are any performance-focused settings that you can tweak.
External Integrations: If you’re using third-party apps or integrations with your restaurant orders system, try disabling them temporarily to see if one of them is causing the slowdown.
Additionally, If you don’t want to spend too much time optimizing your site manually, you can try our Website Speedy app for Wix, which offers a 14-day free trial. It automatically handles the optimizations for you. You can install it here: Website Speedy - load faster | Wix App Market | Wix.com
