Are Wix Websites Slow?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 9:35 pm

Most website builders, Wix included, will offer you the ability to create a free website. However, as with most things in life, you get what you pay for.

A free Wix website may be slower than a paid one, and it will include Wix ads.

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

There are a number of reasons why a Wix website may be slower than a similar site on another platform. First, Wix sites are hosted on Wix servers, which may not be as fast as other options.

Second, Wix uses a drag-and-drop editor, which can add unnecessary code to your site and make it heavier. Finally, free Wix websites include Wix ads, which can slow down your site even further.

PRO TIP: Wix websites can be slow to load, particularly if you have a lot of content or plugins installed. Be sure to test your site speed before making it live, and consider using a caching plugin to improve performance.

If you’re looking for speed, then you may want to consider paying for a Wix website. Paid plans start at just $4.50 per month, and they come with a number of benefits that can help improve your site’s speed, including unlimited bandwidth and storage and the ability to remove Wix ads.

While there are some definite downsides to using Wix – particularly if you’re looking for speed – it remains one of the most popular website builders on the market. If you’re willing to pay for a premium plan, you can get some great features that will help improve your site’s speed and performance.
