Do You Want To Make Your Divi website load Faster?

How Do I Make My Divi Website Load Faster?

Is a question often seen in the various Divi Facebook groups, and something I was asking myself when www.divithemecenter.com was running very slow, with page load times of 10+ seconds. This was bad in terms of annoying the hell out of my users and making Google take a dim view of my website too. You can test your site performance using free online tools such as Pingdom or GTMetrix. GT Metrix gives you a nice results page that outlines where you may be going wrong which makes it much easier to plan what needs to be done.
