My website is slow. What can I do?

There are many reasons why your website is slow.

1. Use of too many plugins

When you use more plugins, your site needs more resources. So, only use the ones you need and know you can trust. Turn off any plugins you’re not using to save resources. Don’t forget to update all plugins to the most recent versions.

2. Use of too many large images

A lot of big images are used on modern websites. People love it. But putting too many of them on a page can make it take longer to load. Also, if a theme’s code isn’t very good, big images are used instead of small ones. It means that instead of a 150x150px image, a 1920x1080px image is loaded.

So, make sure there aren’t too many images on the page and that the images are the right size.

3. Not cached

Use a caching plugin now if you haven’t already. It will make your website run much better. W3 Total Cache and Super Cache are two of the most used caching plugins for WordPress. Choose the one you need based on how much you know.

If you can, host your images and media files on a CDN.

4. Not too powerful host

If you use a shared host, remember that it only has a certain number of resources. If you have a complicated theme, these hosts may not be able to handle it well. So, check your hosting capacity and, if you can, raise it.

5. Using old theme and plugins version

Please always update your site’s theme to the latest version to keep it running smoothly. We’re working to make Traveler for faster and faster.
