Can I ask for a favor? Not related to support.

I’m not sure if I have selected the right hosting provider for my website and a small percentage of people told me that it takes a while to load the website. I’m sure it’s not the content of it but it has to do with Bluehost(my hosting provider)
It will help a lot if you can check syncsignature . com and let me know if it loads okay for you since tomorrow I have to launch!

Works perfectly for me (France)
3-4 seconds, it's okay for me, Serbia
Looks good. Earlier we were also using Bluehost shared server and we got a phishing attack on our website and then we moved to Hostinger.
@mehul_fanawala helpful. This is very temporary for me too. Just wanted to keep things under my control so did what I could figure out. Full platform tech is on AWS.
Hey Neel, it loads pretty quickly for me but there are a few things you might want to do like compress the main hero image which is pretty big or use a CDN to speed things up.
With the launch coming up so soon, it might be a bit risky but when I connected my WordPress sites to CloudFlare (free plan) they started flying.
On the hosting side, I'd check whatever limitations BH has on concurrent connections as some shared hosting providers will cap the number of DB connections or processes or simply the number of concurrent viewers. If you're on a dedicated BH account, that wouldn't be a problem though. This happened to an old client many years ago and they lost 90% of the traffic coming from a TV spot they did since their host would only let something like 1000 concurrent connections and there were 30K+ people trying to get to the site at the same time. We had advised them to upgrade many times, but alas they didn't listen until it was too late :)
Anyway, good luck with the launch!
@anthony_latona Wow! This is surely gonna help. We can talk more on this. I am not really sure what setup I am on since I was referred. Hope it works out for the launch at least. I am already connected to CloudFlare, anything specific can be done there?
@neelptl2602 All I can really tell is that the GoDaddy CDN seems to be detected but the assets aren't being served by CDN, or at least gtmetrix suggests to improve w/ a CDN.
Hosting wise, you'd probably know if you were on a dedicated box since it would be noticeably expensive in comparison :) their support should be able to give you specifics though.
It takes 3-4 seconds to load. All the best for your launch 🚀
Works fast, looks great, ready to 🚀
