Check out gtmetrix report of your site.

Thanks for the response, but I have not a clue as to how to fix.

Ryan,

Are you running a CRON job for nws-alerts.php every 8 minutes or so (looks like your cache time is 10 minutes)? When I bring up your page, it shows between 4 and 6 seconds to process your nws-alerts zones. If you run a CRON job that updates the cache every 8 minutes, the results will always be in the cache and your page should load 4-6 seconds quicker.

Hi Steve,

I run task scheduler.

Can anyone help solve this issue?

[ALITTLEweird1]

What do you have your NWS cron set, time wise? Also, like stated before, how often are you uploading your webcam?

[ALITTLEweird1]

Also,  your streaming your webcam live on your homepage. Why not change that to a static image and have your live stream on another page?

After looking at the waterfall results from Gtmetrix, it appears that your streaming video is taking a ton of time before the site fully loads. Would concur with ConligWX post above that you place a static image of the latest camera view on the main page then have another page to actually show the streaming video....
