Hi, does anyone know how to speed up the loading of my website? I built this site in 2021 and have about 50 posts on it. I left it alone for awhile but now I'm getting back to

This may help as well

Kyle's resource

That was very helpful. Thanks.

You are most welcome :)

I'd run it twice for a better reading.

The most common issue is that you may have a large image above the fold on your website. Is that the case?

May I ask what is your website URL?

my website is caringbeast.com. I've been running some additional speed tests and I don't think it's that big of an issue. Mobile is a little slower but not bad. Thanks again for your help.

Your website is looking good, and you have excellent advice below; you could also try to use Smush or Imagify :)

Great effort, Victor, and thank you for sharing.

Perfect! Thank you.

You are most welcome, and please keep us updated on your progress :)

Yes your site is very nice.

You're welcome :)

Thank you!

Make your images smaller using a plugin will help. If they are too large, this will impact loading. You can also test your site speed using this link :

Thank you.

You’re very welcome

What aspect is slow loading

It's slow loading on mobile. And, the issue seems to be my images.

I suggest you use the plugin media converter it converts jpegs into web images which has a significantly smaller footprint it is a free plugin

I will check that out. Thank you.

you are welcome

There is an update thru the hub on Website Speed it is in phase 3. You will see where it says "website speed" Hope it helps your issue.

Thank you!

HI,
Does anyone know how to add / save contacts in the WA email platform? I cannot figure it out. Thanks.
Vic

Same here, like Abie said, it seems like there's not any option to save contacts with SiteEmail. 👀

Bummer. Thanks. ;)

I do a forward to an email provider like Google, Outlook etc.

A forward vs a webmail.

Thank you! I do that for most of the emails but this one particular person using this email doesn't want to forward it to another provider... they prefer to use webmail. So, was wondering if there was an option to add contacts in it. Thanks.

I didn't see one, I am sorry.
But I hear you.

Definitely appreciate you looking.. :)

My apologies again!

Hope it happens for you soon, Vic!

Jeff

Me too. :) Thanks!

You're welcome!

Yes. That’s perfectly normal. Sometimes it may take weeks for Google to index a post and sometimes it takes hours. Not sure why, but it’s nothing to worry about.

Awesome! Thanks. That will give me one less thing to worry about. :)

Hi - yes, Google is a mystery! Do the posts that have not been indexed have internal links leading to them from your other posts? That can help Google find them.

Thanks Diane. Yes, I do have internal links on them. Thought I might have done something wrong but, it sounds like Google is just being Googley.
