I have extremely slow load times on my site. I’ve checked and it’s not a hosting issue. I’ve physically gone through each of the images to reduce the size and replacing them with the smaller ones, but there’s been no change to the very very slow load times. If a support person can message me privately, I can share the site URL.

Hi, are you on a shared hosting package? In my experience, slow load times are often caused by the hosts server being shared with someone who is draining the server and needs to upgrade to a dedicated server
If you are talking about the Fluid C[redacted] website, you should be using some cache plugin like WP Rocket or another that would help lazy load images, minify scripts, and load them deferred when possible.
Also, you have Google Tag Manager installed and also, some other Google ads tracking scripts loaded. Make sure that you are actually using any of them, as otherwise, they are significantly slowing down your website.
The next step would be to use webp or avif images. Yes, you have converted some but you need to convert every single one to achieve the maximum benefits. But the lazy loading of images would be something that would give the most benefits in the first place.
Also, make sure to load yrittajat and Sectigo resources(images) from your own hosting and not their websites. That adds extra new connection and slows down your website. In the same thing, make sure to self-host Google fonts, you can get done it with WP Rocket or other cache plugin that you prefer.
A bonus would be so sign up for a service like Cloudflare for free security and performance improvements. Their free service option will significantly speed up your website, especially for those abroad from your hosting provider.
These are the first things you should take care of that will not make your website faster by a few percent but several times faster.
Btw, if it is a different website you are talking about, please DM me and will do a audit for it too.
Thanks a lot! Yes, that’s the site. Sorry just saw this message now and will plan to give these a try this week! I hope I can message you back in here if I have any ?s as I try to get this solved!
No problem! These things will certainly help to speed up your website. When it comes to performance, it is all in the little things that add up.
