Very interesting that the Google platform has realized the importance of doing things to help people provide the best. If you are using Blogger for web hosting and management services you know what am talking about here. Go to your blogger and on the left panel choose setting and scroll down. You will see the options on the toggle as shown on the pic in this article. Here just enable them and you are done with your first step to speeding up your site.
For example, I managed to implement the lazy loading and webp photos in my Je Phiri site. Can you say it has improved the load time of the posts? Please I need your feedback
Through the above maneuvers, people can reach more visitors and potential customers thereby boosting the business and sales. In most cases, there should be other things to check example reduce Java scripts on your blogger website. Many unnecessary codes increase load time meaning your site becomes slow.

What causes blogger sites to load slowly

Few things can make your blogger site to be slow. among the common causes are:
Java Sripts codes
For some sites what matters is the JS codes if there are a lot of them the site tend to be slow. Reducing the number of JS can improve the site speed. Just add the necessary gadgets, avoid using a lot of them.
Photos
We like adding photos to our posts to add value and meaning but they can impact our site performance. Many photos with high resolutions can slow down our sites. Avoid using many photos, just add the important ones only. Je Health had such amount of photos, I had to remove and leave the important. The site is now better and mobile frendly.
