Hello,
My website has been loading very slow. It had worked fine in the past, but it has slowed considerably in the last few months. I have reduced image sizes, optimsed what I could, and even disabled the slider at the top of the page, and while it is loading faster, it’s still slow, and I need to be able to activate the slider again.
Another website I have on another theme loads significantly quicker, so I know it’s not an issue with my hosting, nor my internet.
Please let me know if you find any issues, and if you have any recommendations to speed up load times.
