If your assets are taking a long time to download, it's going to make your site feel slow no matter what. Images are one of those things that people often overlook because we're really concerned about reducing the amount of JavaScript and compression. But being able to compress your images before making sure you're serving up the correct size is an easy way to improve loading performance.
In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk through all the reasons your website might be slow, and how you can troubleshoot a slow website such as issues on the server, large assets, caching, CSS, JavaScript, latency, and more.
