Heads up: I have google analytics enabled on this page, but I don't know why this page takes forever to load.

(It is the only page that has multiple videos so far. I am not sure if they are being pr loaded and that is what is causing the issue?) - If this is the reason how do I disable preloading and have it load as they go?

So I have narrowed it down, I am using Owl Carousel to play my own provided videos. I do have preload="none" however, it still takes forever to load. I am not sure what is causing this. All I know that this is a video issue, since I have 5 videos on that page linked to "oc-item" and "video-wrap" and "slide-video".

TL;DR: The videos are causing the issue for the page to load forever, I love your products, please help :(.

<-----UPDATE----->

It's actually my screenshots that are taking forever to load.

<div class="col_full portfolio-single-image">
<div class="fslider" data-arrows="true" data-animation="slide">
<div class="flexslider">
<div class="slider-wrap">

That is the start of the slider code! I have a lot of images in between. Is there a way to speed things up?

Hello,

Thanks for your Patience!

  1. You can disable the Page Loading Transitions by adding the .no-transition Class to the <body> Tag.

  2. The Images on your Page are not optimized: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsinghaman.com%2Folymbots.html&tab=desktop and is the reason why your Page is slow! Please follow the Optimization Tips provided in the Documentation > Start > Optimization Tips Section and it will definitely speed up your Website.

This will definitely work fine. Hope this Helps!

I reduced the image sizes and compressed them, however it still takes a long time for the page to load.

The whole point of when I said "I reduced the image sizes and compressed them, however it still takes a long time for the page to load." was that I TRIED the optimization but then reverted it back to the normal images when it didn't work because the "OPTIMZATION" reduced the quality of the images and made them too small.

Basically, I DID do the optimization, it just never changed the load speed... so I REVERTED the images back to the original size.

SO that did not fix my issue. Let me know what else to try.

Hello,

Thanks for your Patience!

We definitely understand but then the issue seems something else because just optimizing the images should automatically work fine. Please consider using RIOT: http://luci.criosweb.ro/riot/ as it just optimizes the images and does not degrade the quality! It is important to reduce the image sizes for a faster viewing experience for the Users.

We recommended you to use the Software mentioned above and then provide us with the URL so that we can check what exactly the issue is with your Website which causes it to load slow. Thanks for your Patience.

Meanwhile, do let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues with Canvas.
