I&#8217;m not sure what is causing it (perhaps some images are not optimised as best as they could be, or something is causing a delay)?  I have recently been searching for some plugins that may assist (I have installed EWWW Image Optimizer but not had a proper play with it yet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any ideas?  (Funnily enough I just navigated to the website and it loaded quicker than usual &#8211; but generally I notice a delay).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kind Regards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-19037127","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19037127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19037127\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19037127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
