Slow website performance

[KDecon]

Hello Everyone, 

I have a website and want to integrate it with hubdpot. Recently, I try to integrate hubspot with my site but after integration I notice that the speed of my website become slow. The website is taking a lot of time to load due to which the user experience is deteriorating. 

Website: Handy-Reparture 

Currently, I have stopped the integration so that further work can be done by solving this problem first. Can someone tell me why is it happening and what is it right solution?

Hi @KDecon and thanks @PamCotton ,

HubSpot site-speed is my niche! I'm happy to help you.

First off, The HubSpot CMS is not the quickest, but absolutly not slow. With the right configuration, you can get a really decent speed and can easely meet the Core Web Vitals. 

Often it's one of the following issues:

• Images (in weight and loading)
• A badly coded theme.
• Bad DNS configuration / Redirect issues.

Can you provide a URL of the website so I can have a look? Handy-Reparture gives me 11 million hits on Google 🙂

Hi @KDecon ,

I had a quick look at your URL. one thing that i noticed is that it's really quick for your users. Your RUM data is excellent for the overal website: https://treo.sh/sitespeed/www.handy-reparatur-berlin.com

What are your target's that you want to reach?

I ran a webpagetest for mobile (improving mobile also improves the desktop version in 95% of the time) and i dont see any major issues with the site. Especially nothing with HubSpot, as it's LCP is done in 2.2 seconds.

Tho, There are some improvements:

• Try to Prefetch your LCP above the fold (on mobile, it's the logo)
• Do not fade in your cookies, as the time to compleet takes the whole animation.
• Preload Fonts (well done on serving them localy)
• add font-display: swap
• Defer your JS
• If possible, load critical css inline. (Any css needed to style everything above the fold)
• Try to use a CDN as it's running on Joomla and not on Hubspot.

Thats about it. You really have a quick websites, my default tools cant really spot major issues.

Hi @MRAYPUR,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community! And thanks so much @Sjardo and @Jnix284 for your help!!!

So that we help you the best we can, I'd like to ask some clarifying questions, please.

1. What makes you think that your website is slow? How did you notice this? Do you use a specific tool for this? If yes, which one and what was the result? Can you share a screenshot?
2. Is it a HubSpot hosted website? Or an external website?
3. Did you add custom code? Or native HubSpot modules?
4. Do you have lots of videos, images, animation on your site?
5. Is the slow performance on PC or on mobile? Or both?
6. When was the website launched? Since when are you seeing this behavior?

The more info, screenshots (without sensitive/confidential information), and details you can provide, the better the Community can assist.

I'd like to share this article "Optimize your page load time" that might help you.

I also wanted to invite a couple of subject matter experts to this conversation: Hi @Sjardo and @Jnix284 do you have other suggestions that could help @MRAYPUR, please.

Also, if anybody else has anything to add and/or share, please feel free to join in the conversation 🙂

Thanks a lot and have a lovely day!

Best,
Bérangère

Hi @KDecon I had another look, and since your post in January your website is really, really quick! See https://treo.sh/sitespeed/www.handy-reparatur-berlin.com.

So if you have any other issues, just let me know 😎
