Hi Shaylee,
Thank you very much for your quick response. I have not been able to work on my website as I expected until now, which is why my response is so delayed. The website you recommended gives me some excellent options. You are correct that I am using the customizer under Appearance. I also visit my website after logging into WordPress and then click on “Customize”, which I suspect is the same as using the customizer under Appearance. I could not find theme options, so did not know how to make changes that way. For some reason the customizer is faster now. It loads for me in about 13 seconds which is OK. Thanks again for your help.
Regards,
Jim
