Has anyone fixed site speed issues on Webflow?
We’ve always had a problem with slow site speeds. We fail Google’s core web vitals assessment on both mobile and web.
On mobile (which is especially bad) our LCP is 4s, CLS is 0.02, FCP is 4.3s and TTFB is 2s.
I am being told it’s because we use Webflow. I’ve tried compressing images.
Anyone figured this out?
Hi there,
Slow loading times can significantly impact your site’s performance. While image compression is a great start, here are additional optimization areas to consider:
Linked assets: Remove any unused fonts, scripts, or stylesheets. In the Designer, check your Project Settings > Custom Code section for unnecessary external resources.
Third-party integrations: Review your embedded elements and keep only essential ones. Each integration adds load time to your site. You can find these in the Navigator panel under Embeds.
Animations and interactions: Excessive animations can slow down your site. In the Designer, review your Interactions panel and consider simplifying complex animations or removing unused ones.
Transitions/transforms: Large numbers of CSS transforms can impact performance. Check your element settings and remove any unnecessary transition effects.
You can monitor your site’s performance through the Site Usage dashboard under Project Settings > Hosting. A well-optimized Webflow site typically loads within 2-3 seconds.
Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.
