Page loading speed, what am I doing wrong?

Hi guys, I’ve recently signed in to this forum as it seems very interesting place with loads of info, so this should help me out finding what is that I’m doing wrong as to make loading speed at least decent. So far the web loading speed of most of my pages is taking around 16 to 22 seconds to fully load. My page is made on Wix since I’ve lost the hang of writting in HTML since v1.1
ANyways, an example of this is https://www.ganadineromanejando.com/uber-eats-caba
Since it’s not really full of multimedia files (no videos, just a few images and plenty of texts, and a simple pop-up with the usual “this site has cookies” stuff), I’m thinking the popup thing is making things slow, but I have no clue how to spot the problem, hence, it’s getting hard to solve it.
Same goes to some of my other landing pages, some of them don’t even have pictures yet they’re quite slow anyways. An example: https://www.ganadineromanejando.com/requisitos-para-uber-argentina

Can anyone of you geniuses point me to my problem, please?

@rootJan 30.2020 — This old chestnut...

ITS YOUR ISP and Modem, the level of traffic, time of day, number of concurrent users on a local bRouter node that is over subscribed...

Many things contribute to slow pages, including the end users ISP and connection.

People wanting to speed up page loads can't easily force the internet to run faster, you have to accommodate the needs of the internet and resize and compress images you use in the page, content heavy pages are always slow loaders and most slow loading sites are because designers these days have no clue as to what compression in images is for.

Back in the day, you had to learn the art of compressing and optimising images to speed up page loading.

So other than compressing and resizing images, cutting content down on the page and only load in whats needed will help immensely.

@palitrokeauthorJan 30.2020 — Thanks for the input Root, I have been working on compressing images for almost the whole site, most of them have been reduced to a 60dpi and 8/10 quality (photoshop), so they don't pixelate while reducing their size considerably. I'm still not too sure if using progressive loading or not. Guess progressive slows things down a bit.

@NogDogJan 30.2020 — First, find out what is slow. Don't just try random things to see if they help.

You can use tools built into your browser (either natively or via plug-ins) to find out which requests are taking the most time, and then figure out how to address them. Spending a week or three on image compression and miniifying/combining JavaScript files might be a waste of time if the main problem is a poorly indexed database table causing a server-side script to take a lot longer than it should.

@palitrokeauthorFeb 03.2020 — Guess I'll start migrating to a wordpress platform. Think most of the problem is Wix related.

@VITSUSAFeb 04.2020 — @palitroke#1613774 There are so many online tools to check website load time which suggests you those points who affect the load time of your website like Google Pagespeed Insights, Pingdom, etc...

@palitrokeauthorFeb 10.2020 — Thanks for the input Vitsusa, will check those for clues.

@NachfolgerFeb 10.2020 — Wix/Weebly/Wordpress are all going to be slow.

If you want a direct answer to your question, it's because your website is transferring 11-12mb of data, this is absurd! If you are building a blog, use Wordpress, if you're building a static website, hire someone to make it for you, without any bloated frameworks or content-management-systems (Like Wordpress).

Using Cloudflare would also increase speed, as they cache your website on their nodes, which are located all around the globe.

@rootFeb 21.2020 — Really, people suggesting a different web host, really going to work like trying to hold a fart in a sieve.

You can not speed up an internet users connection, the same old comments I have seen time and time again simply neglect to consider that speed is relative to the users node distance, contention ratio, the number of concurrent users, the time of day, etc and traffic shaping of the ISP, the BIGGEST FACTOR that NO AMOUNT OF TWEAKS CAN CIRCUMVENT.

Will people wake up ti the stupidity of the response to change web hosts of using external speed checkers, really pointless exercises, your browser gives you an idea of how crap your internet connection is, end of, unless you go to your users homes and see for yourselves or use a website widigit that counts the load time on the remote users machine, you will not know what it is that causes the problems...

A site will load as fast as the machine can accept, the pipe it is on can carry, too many parameter to consider...

@palitrokeauthorFeb 22.2020 — Yes I know the user ISP and other related factors are 80 to 90% of the problem, yet tuning the other 10% is not a bad idea. I'm trying to reduce file size specially at the top of page to make it easier to show up as fast as possible. And meanwhile trying out and learning wordpress in order to compare with my own connection which is decent, should give me an average of the real loading time.
