I think I’m about to go crazy I need your help!
I’ve just been working on my site (no big changes or new animations … just edited text elements) and for some reason, when I test the site (multiple browsers and devices) all the animations, page loading etc. is extremely laggy now.
It’s everywhere - on the home page, sub-pages, even CMS sites… so it’s not a page-based problem I think.
I’m trying to fix it for two hours now, not even restoring from backups works.
Please, if anyone can help me here, that’d safe my day.
If needed, I am willing to pay if someone can fix the issue!
Try clearing your browser cache or testing in incognito mode to rule out caching issues. Check if any animations are running in loops or overlapping, and make sure your custom fonts aren’t loading unnecessary styles. Look for any errors in your custom code using the browser console, and temporarily disable third-party scripts or heavy assets to see if they’re causing the lag. Use tools like Lighthouse or PageSpeed Insights to run a performance check, and check the Network tab for large or slow-loading files. Simplify your animations and compress images/videos if needed. If you’re still stuck, share the Webflow read-only link, and I can help you dig deeper.
Hey @CloudCoder
Thank you for your advise. I really appreciate that!
I have tried most of your suggestions (caching issues etc. can be ruled out).
Images/videos or animations SHOULD not be the problem either, because I haven’t made any changes to those and it worked perfectly fine and lag-free before
I ran a Lighthouse performance check, these are the results (only the negative ones):
I unfortunately don’t have the budget to hire a Webflow agent, but I’m definitely willing to pay you if you help me solve it and it turns out to be complicated.
Hello @simonjohannssen, if you haven’t changed anything from the template, nothing major, then the problem might be on your end, I loaded your page with no issues, try going to an apple store and test your site there. If it lags on a computer inside the apple store then maybe there is a corrupted file that you uploaded, an svg maybe, but and specially if your site is build on a template, it should not be lagging unexpectedly from one day to another. I hope this helps.
Hello @Pablo_Cortes
The Apple Store is a great tip, thank you!
I’ve also done my best to clean up unused styles and preloading certain elements.
Thank you for checking my site!
Appreciate your advice man <3 Enjoy your day
