When developing a website one main concern should be is performance. Here are a few tools to help you debug what could be causing speed issues. (load times)

- https://tools.pingdom.com
- https://gtmetrix.com
- https://latency.apex.sh/
- https://www.experte.com/pagespeed - Full disclosure: I was asked via email to try this tool and then to add it to this list if I liked it.
These sites are basically the same thing, but it's always a good idea to use different references when debugging.
Using these sites I was able to speed up this site by a good amount. At the time of writing this I could still strip out some of my css from bootstrap that it's being used, but I think it's ok enough.
