Why Is My Website Slow? (Causes, Solutions & Core Web Vitals Guide)

Question

Accepted Answer

Websites typically load slowly due to five core issues: oversized, uncompressed images, bloated third-party plugins and tracking scripts, cheap shared hosting with slow server response times (TTFB), lack of browser and edge caching, and render-blocking CSS or JavaScript that delays Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) beyond Google's 2.5-second benchmark.
