We developed a site using EE2 and have noticed that the pages all have a severe pause at the front of the page load. Is there something that can be done to reduce this lag time? The pages are very light in image/content and it seems this pausing is actually even before the content itself loads…? Any tips or tricks would be hugely helpful. Thanks.

Hi brittneyl,
Thank you for using the Forums and welcome!
What version of ExpressionEngine are you using?
Have you turned on template debugging to see where the lag may be coming from? You can do this by going to Admin-> System Administration-> Output and Debugging: Display Template Debugging? set to “Yes”.
Then, while logged in as a Super Admin, you will see template debugging info placed at the bottom of the page. It times the loading and execution of each part of ExpressionEngine and your templates. Look for a jump in the execution time and note what is happening in EE at that point.
It could be a complex conditional loop or load heavy plugin causing the slowdown.
I look forward to your reply!
Cheers,
