Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out regarding the delay you are experiencing with image loading due to the “waiting for i0.wp.com” message. It sounds like there might be an issue with the Jetpack Image CDN (previously known as Photon) on your site.
To help me further diagnose the issue, can you confirm whether this delay occurs with all images or only certain ones? Additionally, have you noticed any patterns regarding when the delay happens, such as during peak traffic hours or after recent changes or updates to your site?
In the meantime, here are a few things you can try:
- Check Jetpack’s Site Accelerator Settings: Ensure that the Site Accelerator feature is enabled in your Jetpack settings and is configured correctly to serve your images from our CDN.
- Jetpack’s Debugging Tool: Visit the Jetpack Debugging page for your website by appending
/?jetpack_debug
to your site URL. This tool can provide you with information if there are any errors with the Jetpack connection.
- Plugin Conflict Test: Deactivate all other plugins aside from Jetpack to see if there is a plugin conflict causing the delay. If the issue resolves, reactivate each plugin one-by-one to identify the culprit.
- Theme Conflict Test: Switch to a default WordPress theme temporarily to see if the issue could be theme-related.
- Bypass Cache: Try bypassing your browser’s cache by loading the page using Incognito Mode or after clearing your browser cache.
- Check your hosting setup: Some hosting configurations might have specific settings that could interfere with external CDN services. You might want to reach out to your web host for insights on this.
- Content Delivery Network (CDN): It may be useful to verify if there’s any issue with the CDN routes or server responses. Online tools like Pingdom or GTmetrix can be useful to analyze your site’s speed and potential bottlenecks.
Please note that performance issues related to external resources may sometimes be transient due to network conditions, high load on CDN servers, or other external factors.
After you’ve tried these steps, if the problem persists, please reply in this thread with additional information or updates on how these suggestions worked for you.
Be sure to include any error messages you come across during your debugging process.
Looking forward to your update!
Thank you!
