Yes the load speeds are not great, I think they may be loading up all the google fonts, which is a page speed killer from what I understand. It would be nice if we could choose NOT to use the Google Font API and rather upload our own. Yes, its is a little more work on my end to do that, but worth the speed increase (This is What Webflow Does).

My funnels are still taking several seconds for all assets to load in properly. Is this still under review?

Still facing speed issues with funnels and websites. Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO are top notch but Performance is very poor on GHL wesbites and funnels even on fairly simple pages with not much going on

Still facing problems with page speed! The LCP is always the headline. I was told, that all fonts are loaded when landing on the website, not only the used ones. Sometimes it takes 5 seconds to load the website (which ist still too long on desktop with stable WLAN), and sometimes the website takes 30 seconds or doesnt even load, which seems to be a server issue!?

We have optimized the load speed of website and now websites and funnels are performing well in both web and mobile.

When we run Google Pagespeed insights on pages with HighLevel forms, webchat widgets, etc. Lead Connector and HighLevel assets are always the main things that gets flagged for speed. Taking our performance scores from the high 90's down into the low 70's.

We've done extensive testing of the load time on both the Funnel pages and Web pages. A blank page or those with minimal content have a decent load time, but pages with more content, forms, trigger link, Pixels and tracking scripts, etc. have real trouble -- particularly on Mobile.
There are a number of server side issues that we are seeing in our tests/reports that are greatly affecting the load speed. As mentioned by Victor above, the Google Quality Score is greatly affected by the load speed of a site. A low Quality Score in-turn increases the Google Ad click cost significantly (See attached). Our real-world, real content tests (I.E. graphics, videos, forms, payment, Pixels, UTM tags, trigger links, etc) have yielded a quality score a low as 2 and as high as 4.... but never a 5 or better.
This is a very important issue that needs to be addressed in order for funnels and webpages to be effectively used in any kind of "serious" Google Ad campaign. We've had to shift to other tools as a result of the Google quality score being too low on HL Funnel and Webpage tool.
Hope to see this issue get moved up the priority list. We love HL and would prefer to have everything on the same platform.
