So I’ve been using Modern Events Calendar & Revolution Slider & I have shortcode for each on my home page to populate a section with it’s content.
However, it seems this has been one of the biggest reasons my website’s speed is so slow.
According to this test:
https://gtmetrix.com/reports/ohiocannabis.com/KnW5QjkU
There is a major problem with “Defer Parsing of JavaScript”

Can anyone give me an idea on why MEC & RevSlider are causing such loading problems when using their shortcode on my home page?
Should I just delete these sections off of my home page?
I really like having them there as the MEC helps post upcoming events & also I use RevSlider for a few other things on the home page as well.
Ideas?
Thank you!
