Hello! Just bought Brizy and setting up a staging where i can play around. 
I've not made much but when i tried accessing the website from noncached places it loads really slow, therefore i ran the PageSpeed Insights and it tells me what the title describes. "Largest Contentful Paint element 4860 ms" on mobile - I am not a developer, i have no coding skills. How can i fix this? 

The image that loads is 150kb.

  Hi Magnus,

  As per the GT Metrix report, https://gtmetrix.com/reports/stg-contactmediase-staging.kinsta.cloud/g1i2FKTI/ the initial server response time is 1.3 seconds. This is considered slightly higher than normal. Using caching plugin may help improve the TTFB.

  Hello George, thank you for the reply. 
  
  I've reduced the sizes with no improvement. 
  I'am also using Autoptimize and the Caching plugin provided by Kinsta. 
  
  Here's the result from PageSpeed Insights for mobile that is way off the charts:

  Hello again! 
  
  I just spoke to Kinsta support and they told me that my Staging environment has fever resources (PHP workers, no CDN, no Edge cachin, etc) since it is a "free" staging. Which means that it can have some impact on performance. 
  
  If i encounter these issues when going live, i'll get back to you!

  Hi Magnus,

  Poor initial server response time is the only issue now. 

  

  To reduce the initial server response time please install a caching plugin. For instance, you could try WP Optimize plugin. After configuring the plugin, visit your website frontend once, confirm that page cache is generated in the plugin and test the page performance again.
