If your directory site is loading slowly:

* **Enable Caching :** Use a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache to speed up your site.
* **Image Optimization :** Optimize large images using plugins like Smush or Imagify.

Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN): Set up a CDN like Cloudflare to serve static files from multiple locations globally, improving load times.
