HI @Bookman53 - hope you're keeping well!
It's hard to say specifically without sharing too much information publicly here, but I've looked at the LEAP setup on the site and I can see that there are a half-dozen critical recommendations to disable/replace certain tools or functionality on your site because of the negative speed impact they have, specifically with Core Web Vitals metrics.
While there's many reasons why a site could be slower when using optimizations like Ezoic temporarily, the most likely reason is simply an inadvertent misuse of tools. We are confident that we can speed up almost every site if the LEAP recommendations are followed and optimized for properly.
If you're having trouble with LEAP, we'd suggest opening a ticket with their team.
The other option is to use Support.ezoic.com to search for the speed related optimization guides, and use those to troubleshoot as well.
Caching is a great place to start, typically the easiest way to speed up a site 🙂.
