  "textContent": "I think you’ve already flagged the most important culprits yourself.\n\nDoing a speed test with Pingdom tells me a few things: Website Speed Test | Pingdom Tools\n\n* * *\n\nFirstly, the “wait” time for the actual page itself is 5.7 seconds. That’s a lot. That’s time time it takes for the PHP code on your website to execute. That could be due to Elementor or another plugin. A caching plugin can help with this.\n\nSwitching to static HTML would effectively eliminate this time. But you’re sacrificing a lot in ease of use, so you have to think about if that’s worth it for you.\n\nAs a middle ground, WordPress plugins like Simply Static exist. They can take your WordPress website and publish it as static HTML. If it works for you, then you almost have a best of both worlds situation, but that’s not guaranteed.\n\n* * *\n\nBut a major factor is also the 56.5 MB of images used on the website. Many of them are served from GitHub Pages. You call this a CDN, even though it isn’t, while you could actually be using one.\n\nMy recommendations for this part are as follows:\n\n  1. Use an image optimization plugin to reduce image sizes (compression and whatnot). I don’t have any specific recommendation for this one, I would suggest to just try a few and see which one you like.\n  2. Pay attention to the resolution of your images and size them appropriately to their usage case. There are a ton of Full HD screenshots on your page, which are often only used as tiny cards and could probably have their resolution dropped by 80% or more without meaningful quality impact.\n  3. Use an actual CDN. Like Cloudflare or Amazon Cloudfront. Don’t abuse static site hosting for it.\n  4. You can use the plugin WP Offload Media to automatically upload your media library to object storage like Cloudflare R2 or Amazon S3. Both work perfectly with the CDN from the same company, and they have free tiers. This will be faster than GitHub Pages, and be easier to use since it’s all integrated into WordPress.\n\n",
