[Support request] Need suggestions to boost site speed.

[Sivakumar]

I am working on a client’s site to optimize the site for speed.
I used Elementor plugin to design the site.
Now after designing the site, I notice I face the speed issue. Google page speed score on mobile is poor.
Can you please look into the speed of the site and suggest a few things to speed up the site.
Appreciate your support on this. Thank you.

Some facts
Theme – GP premium with Elementor plugin
Hosting – Cloudways Digitalocean (managed)
Minimized plugins usage and use only essential plugins.
CDN – Amazon cloudfront

I have had good results with the Autoptimize plugin.

Also, check your image file sizes. I use squoosh (from Google ChromeLabs) to reduce file sizes without reducing the discernible quality of most images. It’s free.

Google PageSpeed Insights will analyze your site and tell you what’s slowing it down.

Elementor and any other page builder would definitely slow your page speed down a bit though.

Another useful Google tool for analyzing performance and user experience is Measure.
