Hello All, I’m working on building out [a website](https://flyhxaviation.com) and am running into a stutter issue on load in Safari. The website is for a company that buys and sells airplanes. Apart from the actual listings, there is an entire library of [aircraft profiles](https://flyhxaviation.com/intelligence/), a [blog](https://flyhxaviation.com/articles/), and a [podcast](https://flyhxaviation.com/preflight-checklist/). The site is image heavy, so on pages with multiple images, I’m using .webp format, along with different sizes of the images. So, for example, on [a top-level page for the library](https://flyhxaviation.com/intelligence/piston-twins/) that offers multiple models to choose from, the images are sized at 902 x 600. When I load a page in Safair and start scrolling immediately, I get half loaded or blank or unclickable buttons for 2-6 seconds, then everything shows up all at once and the page is then useable. ![Screenshot 2026-05-05 at 9.22.34 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/1/a/1a5e995b14e411847f31a52cc8585fcb0f6fc975.jpeg) I obviously want visitors to have the best experience, and I use Safari heavily, so I’m hoping there’s something I can do to fix this. Thanks in advance for any help you can share. ---

Hi @chet Any chance you could share the project file via [Elements Cloud](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/getting-started/elements-cloud)? ---

_Adding this comment for future readers._ Dan and I worked over private message using my project file and the issue appears to be an issue with my web host. ---

~~A combination of some images with no lazy loading enabled, no/insufficient caching, and slow server performance. A combination that seems to be causing that Safari stuttering at your current web host.~~ ~~Actually the issue was a Contact Form that was turned into a Global and used across multiple pages with the Cloudflare Turnstile Spam Protection option enabled. We are investigating if it’s possible to place a Contact From in a Global that spans multiple pages with 1 Cloudflare Turnstile widget (seems like it might not be as it was throwing an error causing the page stuttering in Safari).~~ **Actually** , the issue seems to be with any of the Captcha options slowing down page rendering in Safari. This is something we are investigating. 🔍 Anyway mystery solved. 🙂 ---

Many, many, many thanks to @differentdan for running this all the way to the ground. We ruled out just about everything and he came through with the solution to get the site behaving as expected.
