Slideshow Images Loading Slowly

The Slideshow image is still loading slower than expected. I wrote a couple days ago about my slideshow images in the JA Hotel template seemingly loading very slowly. There was a grey background for about two or three seconds. I optimized the image as much as possible but kept it as the same dimensions as the template (1600 x 600). That helped, but it's still stalling when viewed with a refreshed browser and you get a greay background before the image appears. Am I missing something?

It due to the connection of your hosting, you can try to load the image alone and see the same: https://bcocca.ca/images/joomlart/slideshow/corral-reef-logo-white-test.jpg#joomlaImage://local-images/joomlart/slideshow/corral-reef-logo-white-test.jpg

I don't think so. When I use the link you provided, it appears instantly. When I go through my website URL, it seems to stall.

Also, could I ask why in the back-end the template styles "Layout" button displays a "Section 1" but all the preloaded modules that came with the template are listed as being located in "Section 2" which doesn't seem to exist according to the Template Styles files.

Because there are other images which takes time to load also, for example:
