Slow header?

Just trying to work out why the posts in my carousel header seem to take a while to load. If you go to this URL

you will see the actual page loads way faster than the header. What would cause that? However on the home page the header seems to load pretty fast, its just on all the other pages that it slows down. Is there anything I can do to speed it up?

Hi @waynepatt58,

Thanks for reaching out.

The carousel is rendered and controlled by javascript, it will only start displaying once the javascript is executed. And that is after all resources are loaded including the script file.

In comparison with the home page, the resources are loaded fast so the javascript is executed as well. But with that page with a very long page with other content that uses javascript (especially the disqus), there is a delay with javascript execution for the carousel part.

The only solution for this is minimizing the content especially the one that relies on javascript. There is no problem with image loading, it loads really fast. Try disabling the disqus feature and test it again.

Thanks!
