I dont know what is the problem and if is not optimized but the site http://www.yankeecandle.com.uy takes too much time to load and navigate. I need help with that. Thank you.

I need help making the discount (descuentos) area to look as another section of listing products. For example the background, the filters, ordering. I dont know how to do that. Thank you very much.

Hello,

Please create separate topics for different questions.

1) General site speed depends on many factors. Below you’ll find the main of them:
– Plugins. When you have multiple plugins installed and activated on your site, it can slow it down. So, please, keep enabled only those plugins that you really need for the correct functioning of your site and disable all the plugin that you don’t use. The more plugins you use, the slower it will be.
– Caching. The most important part of optimizing your site is caching. Combine cached page with gzip compression to get better results. We recommend using W3 Total Cache. Read the beginners guide to setting up W3 Total Cache plugin https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/w3-total-cache-settings/
Also, a very good plugin is WP Rocket, but it’s paid.
– Images. Use optimized images only otherwise you will have big images and slow loading time. Do not upload larger images than what is needed. When you use image editing tool like Photoshop don’t save images without using the option “Save For Web”.
There are different ways on how to compress images. Use special services or WordPress plugins to optimize your images for decreased loading times: https://tinypng.com/ , Compressor.io, Kraken.io, EWWW Image Optimizer, Smush Image Compression and Optimization plugin.
– Server/Hosting. Sometimes slow speed can be a result of your hosting service. If you have checked the above items and the site is still slow, the most likely it is a server/hosting issue. Contact your host and discuss it with them. Because even with the default WP theme site speed could be slow.

Check your site via GTMetrix service https://gtmetrix.com/ and follow the recommendations to speed up the site.
In case you need professional help with site optimization you may contact WPKraken team https://wpkraken.io/?ref=8theme because unfortunately, that is outside the scope of our support.

2) Please describe the problem in more details, provide screenshots and URLs.
You can use Lightshot screenshot tool https://app.prntscr.com/en/index.html to share screenshots.
