There could be multiple reasons why your LeadIQ | Book a Demo page is loading slow after making minor design changes in Webflow. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. Large image file sizes: If you have added high-resolution images to your page, they can significantly increase the page load time. To optimize image loading speed, consider using image compression tools like Kraken.io or TinyPNG to reduce the file size without compromising image quality. Additionally, resize images to their actual display dimensions using image editing software before uploading them to Webflow.

  2. Excessive use of custom code: If you have added a lot of custom code to your page, it can cause slower loading times. Limit the amount of custom code on your page to only what is absolutely necessary. Consider removing or minimizing unnecessary code, and make sure the code is efficient and well-optimized.

  3. Unused or unnecessary elements: Review your page for any unused or unnecessary elements, such as unused images, widgets, or scripts. Removing these elements can help reduce the page size and improve loading speed.

  4. External scripts or dependencies: If your page relies on external scripts or dependencies that are slow to load, it can slow down the overall page load time. Try optimizing or replacing slow-loading dependencies with faster alternatives. Additionally, consider loading scripts asynchronously to prevent them from blocking the rendering of the page.

  5. Server or hosting issues: Sometimes, slow page load times can be attributed to issues with your hosting provider or server. Check with your hosting provider to ensure that there are no server-side issues affecting the performance of your website.

  6. Unoptimized CSS or JavaScript: Review your custom CSS and JavaScript to ensure they are efficient and optimized. Minify and combine CSS and JavaScript files to reduce file sizes and improve loading speed. Furthermore, consider placing your CSS in the <head> section of your page to avoid render-blocking.

  7. Caching and content delivery network (CDN): Enable caching and leverage CDN services to speed up your page load times. Webflow provides automatic caching for all published sites, but you can also consider using third-party CDN services like Cloudflare to further improve performance.

By addressing these potential causes and implementing the appropriate solutions, you should be able to resolve the slow loading issues on your LeadIQ | Book a Demo page in Webflow.
