The reason for a Slow Site in Elementor

Here are several reasons for a slow site that you should check:

Servers: there are some components like bandwidth, memory or position of the server which relates to the user which affect very much on the speed of the website. Some services such as shared or free hosting can be the reason for this problem.

Media (such as photos, videos and so on): Every photo that displays on your site can make it become slow, in particular, the photo is on areas that have the header and footer. You need to ensure that the photo that you uploaded is not too large (it should be less than 1 MB). You also should use tools such as TinyPNG for reducing the photo sizes.

External scripts: When you use any external scripts such as Facebook share account, avatar picture or Google maps can make your loading page become slow.

In this situation, you can turn off Google Fonts, Eiconsfor or Font Awesome by inserting these below code lines into your function file in the child theme.

add_filter( 'elementor/frontend/print_google_fonts', '__return_false' );

For Font Awesome Icons: 
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function() { wp_dequeue_style( 'font-awesome' ); }, 50 );

 – In order to delete the Font Awesome HTTP request as well:

add_action( 'elementor/frontend/after_enqueue_styles', function () { wp_dequeue_style( 'font-awesome' ); } );

For Eicons: 
add_action( 'elementor/frontend/after_enqueue_styles', function() { wp_dequeue_style( 'elementor-icons' ); } );
Plugins: Plugins can be the reason that makes your WordPress site slower. In case you do not use a particular plugin, let turn it off and remove it.
Theme: A nice theme is not a reason for the slow site; however, having many themes can be the reason for this. A theme with good codes uses some methods and scripts in order to reduce the size of files. Changing among themes and looking at the effect may help you to indicate which theme is the reason.

Step 4: Run a speed test to test for its enhancement.
