Website Loading Slowly

    Hi,

    I’ve been encountering an issue with slow loading times on my site. Even though I’m using WP Rocket for caching, some pages (especially product archive pagination) take more than 10 seconds to load at times.

    I reached out to my hosting provider (Cloudways), and they recommended that I consult with a developer to help implement the following optimizations:

    1. Optimize Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
    2. Reduce Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
    3. Lower Total Blocking Time (TBT)
    4. Improve Server Response Time

    I’m using the Soledad theme, Elementor Pro, and hosting on Cloudways. If anyone has suggestions on where to start — I’d really appreciate your guidance.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey! I totally get how frustrating slow load times can be. Since you’re using WP Rocket and Cloudways, here are a few tips that might help:

    1. Optimize LCP (Largest Contentful Paint): Compress any large images and try implementing lazy loading so they load when needed.

    2. Fix CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift): Make sure your images and fonts are sized correctly so the layout doesn’t jump around when the page loads.

    3. Reduce TBT (Total Blocking Time): Minimize any unnecessary JavaScript and defer scripts that don’t need to run right away.

    4. Improve Server Response Time: It could help to upgrade your hosting plan or use a CDN for faster loading times globally.

    You might also want to double-check WP Rocket settings with your theme to ensure all optimizations are being applied. Hope that helps! Let me know if you need more guidance!
