site speed

  • Unknown's avatar

    my site is so slowwwwww. but all the developers I’ve hired have said it is fast according to their tests. All I know is that both the front and back end load incredibly slow. Thanks

    Site: (email visible only to moderators and staff).
    WP.com: Unknown
    Jetpack: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

  • Hi there, that site isn’t hosted with us. Here’s the difference between the free WordPress software and our managed hosting services:
    https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

    Have you considered doing your own testing so you can see what factors are at play?
    https://webpagetest.org/

    Have you also checked in with your ISP to see if there’s something on their end making your experience uniquely slow?

    Realize too that speed and features (like how many large graphics are on a single page) can be a bit of a tradeoff.

    Then if you need more help, try searching or posting in the forums for the free software:
    https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    And you’d be welcome to use our services too, of course! Let us know if you have questions about that.

    Cheers!

  • Oh! I did look at the site briefly in webpagetest.org too, and saw that the “largest content paint” stuff seems to be associated with custom fonts, for what it’s worth. So if you want to trade off on that, chat with your developers/designers about using system fonts instead.

    Hoping this helps :)
