Hi
My widget top reviews is showing on the right sidebar, but it's way too low. How can I fix this issue?
Here is the site so that you can see what I mean. https://cruisingsea.com/
Thanks!
Hi there,
i don't see any sidebar widget on that page ?
Hi David,
Sorry for the late reply and sorry for the widget. I had to remove it because it slowed down my site. Do you have any idea why each time I add a sidebar widget, it slows down my site?
Thanks!

No - it's impossible for us to tell without seeing the issue live as this is not a known issue.
What kind of widget are you referring to? What if you just add a simple text widget?
Hi
No matter the widget I put, it automatically slows down my site.
Is it possible to see the site with a widget in the sidebar ? Then we can take a look at what is affecting the site speed.
Sure, here is the URL: https://cruisingsea.com/best-portable-toilets-for-boats-the-top-rated/
Hi Simone,
When you say it slows down your site, does this happen on the backend or frontend?
Hi
When I add a sidebar, I check the speed on a Google checker tool, and it really slows down the site.
I don't see anything specific to the sidebar that's causing the issue.
Two of the main reasons are your images and your server.
For the images, you can replace them with next-gen format images. For the server's response time, you'll need to reach out to your Hosting provider regarding this.
How much did the performance change with the sidebar? Can you take screenshots of the performance results with and without the sidebar?

Hi
The screenshot doesn't show when I put it in the forum.
Can you try uploading the image through Google Drive or here https://imgur.com/?
Then, share the link to your screenshot.
