  Hi – my website is taking a long time to load my pictures. Is there any way to fix this … the issue wasn’t happening beforehand.

  Best,
  Anand

  Hi there,

  Are you referring to https://anandtravels63.home.blog/? I had no problems loading the site. Is there a particular page on the site that is loading slowly?

  Hi Darnell,

  Yes I am. If you go to some of the later pages (for example “Highlight Reel” and “Morocco” I and II ) it takes a long time for the pictures to load. Many don’t load at all.

  I’ve noticed this on several of the tabs

  Thanks!
  Anand

  Your site is very image heavy and the image sizes are needlessly large, On “highlight reel” some images are larger than 2.5MB each so visitors will struggle. In future optimize your images for the web before uploading them:

  That’s very helpful, will make sure to keep that in mind next time. Is there any way to optimize the reading experience for the existing site? Would the paid options WordPress provides include faster speeds?

  Thx!

  Sites don’t operate any faster on paid plans. In general, I definitely recommend the suggestion above about your image sizes. :)
