Last checked August 2026. Wix changes its interface often — if something looks different, the underlying steps usually still apply.
Step 1: Check your images
Photos straight from a phone or camera are the single most common cause. Resize them before uploading — nothing on a website needs to be 6000 pixels wide.
Step 2: Count your apps
Every installed app adds code to every page. Remove anything you are not actively using.
Step 3: Look at videos in the background
Autoplaying background video is beautiful and very slow, particularly on mobile data.
Step 4: Reduce the number of fonts
Each font and weight is another file to download.
Step 5: Test properly
Run your live address through PageSpeed Insights and fix the biggest items it lists rather than chasing a perfect score.
