So I started getting into the Divi 3.0 Web Builder because I love the visual builder, but I’ve been running into issues with builds with sites ending being too slow. Some of the sites get a little fancy and others have a lot of embedding which may be the issue. I was hoping I could get some pointers.

One project I’m working on is a Rocket League Coaching Site. The website looks good, they are growing fast, but the home page is deadly slow taking nearly 9 seconds to load. They wanted cool gyfcats because RL is all about highlights and stuff so I added it in, but now the website is slowing to crawl. They also are getting a good amount of mobile traffic so speed is definitely getting more critical to optimize.

When I pulled the pingdom report it said there was a bunch of webm’s around but I do not see them on the home page to pull. The three biggest pages I’m trying to correct for speed are:

– Home Page
– Coaching Page
– Blog Landing Page

The pingdom report is below:
