This discrepancy usually happens because of browser caching. Since you visit your WordPress dashboard and site frequently, your browser has already saved (cached) your images, CSS, and scripts locally. When you load the page, your computer doesn’t have to download everything from the server again, making it feel instantaneous.
Your customers, however, are likely seeing your WordPress site with a “cold” cache. They have to download every single asset from scratch. Furthermore, geographic distance plays a role. If your WordPress host is in New York and your customer is in London, the data has to travel across the Atlantic. This is why using a CDN is vital; it mirrors your site on global servers so a customer in London pulls data from a local UK node rather than your primary US server.
