Hello! If you have your site up using Google Chrome, and right-click on the page, you'll see the "Inspect" option. If you click that, then click the "Network" Panel at the top of the Google Chrome DevTools, you can get information about how long each element on your site will take to load. You can use this to potentially figure out what is bogging down your site's response time.
