Hey warriors, maybe you can all help me with something. I have a website that is taking a really long time to load.

There are 7 different css files. Could that cause a long load time?

Any help is appreciated.

  • Probably not, unless they're gigantic files. Chances are your host is to blame. It's hard to say without knowing more.

    • Or you add to many pictures or videos on your website that's why it happened.

  • If your using a database based CMS (Wordpress, Joomla, etc) - Often times I find that the problem is usually server side with slow database queries. Are you using a good host?
  • Yep, Andrew H may be right.

    Slow DB queries on "bad" hosts (or overcrowded) can be a big problem.

    CSS files (even if you load 20) are NO problem, they are getting loaded simultaneously (depending on your browser).

    JS files can (mostly 3rd party scripts) a big problem, too.

    Without knowing your website I can not tell you where the problem is...
  • Two client sites I recently had to fix slow page loads on ended up having htaccess issues. Once I had corrected these page load times went from 10 secs to 2-3. Worth a look.
