Large images that haven't been compressed or resized can significantly slow down your site.

Every element on your website, from images and stylesheets to JavaScript files, requires a separate HTTP request. Too many requests can overwhelm your server and slow down loading times.

While plugins can add a lot of functionality to your website, they can also slow things down.
