High load times can stem from code bloat, server issues, or excessive third-party scripts, beyond just image size.

If your site is slow even after compressing images, there may be other performance blockers. Review your code for bloat, such as redundant scripts or plugins that could slow down loading. Excessive third-party scripts, such as ads or analytics, also impact load times, so try minimizing them where possible. Consider using lazy loading for content below the fold, which delays loading until users scroll, and explore using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to enhance load speed across different locations. These steps can collectively reduce load times, creating a faster, more user-friendly experience.
