Speed up site? future improvements or is it me?

gauchedamned

I am wondering if there is a way to speed up my site https://williameadon.com/

My thoughts are that i am using fairly large images so that when the carousel is running I would want the images to appear at full res on a large screen.

I am wondering if lay theme could be improved with WP to render a smaller sized version of the uploaded image on the index page for faster loading?

Is this already happening? Is there another problem that may be occurring that is causing slow load time?

Thanks

Richard

Dear @gauchedamned

Hi Richard,
Yes, I have implemented those things. My question was of a different nature. I wondered if there was a way to split upload of images by size into this theme or if this is done automatically.

Dear W @gauchedamned

Just wondering if Wordpress, Lay Theme & Lay Themes plugins are all up to date? you have error's in your console:

You can use the inspection tool in Google Chrome by right clicking and choosing 'inspect' then going to "network" then reload your page to see the loading times:

Here i can see that these 4 images are slowing the website down.

However if you can split upload of images by size i am unsure sorry, however i hope @arminunruh can shed some light on the topic! :)
