My site is not super speedy on desktop, but it's fast enough. However on mobile, it is extremely slow to load - over a minute in some cases.
I've searched the support pages and have not found anything other than a recommendation to install "better wordpress minify" and other caching plugins (which I have already tried).
We have scanned your site using the performance tool over by GTMetrix and notice that your images are really causing the degradation you are receiving in regards to performance on mobile.
I would recommend using plugins such Smush or EWWW Image optimizer to optimize your images sizes and this should improve the performance of the site on mobile.
we have the same issue. we get messages from jetpack every day to say out site is not loadinf properly, our host is saying its wordpress and or theme and pluggins
Could you please try temporarily switching to the default wordpress theme (twenty seventeen) and see if your website loading is still slow? If it is, then it's most likely caused by the image loading and you may want to optimize the images using the plugin. Also, you may want to try deactivating the third party plugins (the ones that don't come with the theme) and see if it speeds things up.

What do you advise?

Hey Jeff,
Please update to Salient 8.0 and Salient VC 5.0.1 which has Adaptive Images support so that should make your site a bit faster .
Update the theme by following this guide: http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/updating-salient/ .
Best.

Hi Tahir,
I already have Salient 8.0. I can't find the version number for VC, but I assume it's the latest version as it came with Salient.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks,

Hey Again,
I am seeing none of the caching or minification Plugins installed on your site .
Please have a look at this Article http://themenectar.com/docs/salient/performance-optimization-guide/ and use only the recommended plugins .
