      Hi. My website is... http://www.ryancrawford.co.uk/

      It takes forever to open on most browsers, and it takes around five minutes to open on IE, when it eventually opens on IE, it's broken and the images dont appear. I've attached a screenshot.

      I have all the images on lazy load, and 90%. Most of the images are no bigger than 500kb, I have the odd image at around 4mb.

      Is there anything I can do to fix this? Just being a design agency it puts clients off if the website doesn't load or work.

      Any help would be very much appreciated.

      Ryan

        Dear @ryancrawford
        at my computer it is super fast.

        Is it still running slow?
        Thank you for uploading the screenshot.
        We will have a look.

        Best!

          Thanks for getting back to me so quick.

          Yes it's still opening really slow on IE, Edge and Chrome on a windows laptop. And in instances not opening at all. But on a Mac it opens fast.

              Before you post

              Use the Search Feature. Maybe there is already a solution to your issue.

              1. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
              2. Disable all Plugins
              3. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code ", click "Save Changes"
              4. Now see if your problem solved itself
              5. Go here, see if your problem is listed here:
              Troubleshooting

              When you post:
              1. Post a link to where the problem is
              2. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it

              Thanks!
