WordPress (Bluehost) vs Squarespace image issue, help needed!

[ad_1]

Hi Reddit!

I currently have a WordPress website, hosted on Bluehost. My home page size is about 6 mb, with a couple of images.

The problem is that my images take ages to load (with cache cleared). If I then look at another website, which I know is hosted on Squarespace and has 30 mb home page size, with lots of bigger size pictures. Then I find out that this website loads really quickly (with cashe cleared), almost instantly. Is the reason that my website imaging are loading so slowly simply because the bluehost hosting is just terrible? Limiting the bandwidth for loading images? Or has it to do with cashe settings for example?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, since I am really confused, thanks!

Also, if I look at google page speeds, my website scores much higher, because of the lower page size. But in practice it loads much and much slower because of the slow loading pictures.
