Is Your Website Slow? How to Diagnose and Fix It
A practical diagnosis of images, scripts, server response, caching, and interactions that slow Canadian websites.
Separate Lab and Field Data
Lighthouse helps reproduce a controlled scenario; field data shows what visitors actually experience. Use both so you do not improve a score without improving an important journey.
Fix Images and Main Content
Identify the LCP element, serve the right image size, use a modern format, and avoid delaying main content behind scripts. Explicit dimensions also reduce layout shifts.
Reduce JavaScript and Third-Party Scripts
Every chat tool, pixel, font, or widget adds work. Remove what is not useful, load the rest at the right time, and profile long tasks blocking interactions.
Improve Server, Caching, and Delivery
Check response time, caching, compression, CDN, and data requests. Well-designed server rendering should not be undone by a cascade of browser requests.
