Images Taking Forever to Load

I run the website: BuriedLead.com

It’s a news aggregation website similar to DrudgeReport.com

I use Siteground for hosting, and utilize the Perfmatters.io app to help with the PageSpeed score.

On both desktop and mobile (but especially mobile) it takes 4-7 seconds for images to load. I’ve already optimized/lazy loaded images. I’ve also reached out to Siteground to see if the issue is hosting speed.

I think the issue might be the theme.

How can I speed up image loading?

If you visit my website, I think you’ll see that the images don’t load at all for at least a few seconds.

Thanks!

UPDATE: November 28, 2022 –> Now the images load on the back-end whenever I’m logged into the website, but they don’t publish on the front-end once I’m logged out.

Hello!

First of all, deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones. If you are using a cache plugin, deactivate it and see if the problem goes away.

Let me know the results!

Thank you!
