How to Improve Page Speed on a Weebly Site with Image-Heavy Content?

I’m having trouble optimizing the page speed of my website, which was built on Weebly by a friend. The site, https://mnpmodapk.com/, has a lot of content, including images and scripts, which seem to slow it down.

Here are the issues I’m facing:

  • Slow Loading Time: The site takes a while to load, especially on mobile devices. I’ve tried resizing and compressing images, but it doesn’t seem to help much.
  • Render-Blocking Scripts: I noticed some scripts are slowing down the page, but I’m not sure how to fix this on Weebly.
  • Mobile Optimization: The performance is significantly worse on mobile compared to desktop, and I’m struggling to identify the cause.

I’d appreciate any advice on how to:

  1. Optimize image-heavy pages for faster loading.
  2. Minimize the impact of scripts on performance.
  3. Improve overall mobile page speed on a Weebly-built site.

Any insights or tools you’ve found useful would be a big help!

@thomasbaum572,

 

When I pull up the site, it appears to be very quick to load.  I clicked around the pages and they all loaded quick.

 

Here are some recommendations for speeding up Weebly sites.

 

  • focus on optimizing images
  • minify CSS and JavaScript
  • leverage browser caching
  • using a Content Delivery Network (CDN).

Also, if you are often in the back end making changes, make sure you clear your browser cache often or use different profile windows for back end modifications vs front end viewing/testing 

 

Since you mentioned you have a lot of images, a CDN is recommended.  Also any caching plugin can help.

Thank you so much @BofBArtStudio for your insightful tips. I found that my internet was down that day when I asked the questions here. Overall, the site speed is healthy and performing well.
