So I recently setup a Wordpress site that is being hosted through HostGator with their business share-hosting plan. The website was experiencing very slow load times, sometimes up to 30-45 seconds.
I went ahead and scaled down/resized all the images that are currently on the site, added a caching plugin (W3 Total Cache), an optimization plugin (WP-Optimize), a CDN (Truespeed CDN), minified js/css, and added expires headers.
The site scores much better on site speed tests after I made these changes
Pingdom: 87
GTmetrix: 92%/87%
and it seems that the timing to the first byte is pretty quick too.
Loading the site in its current state still feels pretty slow and after taking these measures, I'm unsure of what could be causing the issue, or if possibly the host might be too slow. Any help and suggestions would be much appreciated.
The url for the site is: http://vmklighting.com/
I am also using Shopisle Theme with Woocommerce and WPML.

I've been tasked with finding out what is stalling this website or making it load stupidly slow.
I've tried the network tab of the Google Chrome inspector, but I cannot figure out what is causing the initial delay.
Code has been optimised (further optimisation to come) and plugins have been added or removed and updates. Yet still slow.

Can anyone shed any light or suggest anything?
Caching plugins tried: WP Fastest Cache, WP Optimise (inc. database optimise and image smushing).
You need to reduce chaining critical request https://prnt.sc/Nnyf4hnHmYpX.
You can try WP Rocket Caching plugin for optimization.
my site takes so time to load how can I fix this problem, I have a wp site it's shared with Bluehost when I run the site take so time to load any idea how to solve this issue?!
A lot of factors are involved in website speed, use some tool to scan your site and have some information:
Google PageSpeed help you to understand if image are too big, if the server response time id too high etc.. and also give you some information about the possible fix.

Other thing that may help you to speed up your site is a cache plugin like:
w3 total cache
wp super cache
...
this plugin have a default settings that help also unexperienced user to have a little benefit.
My site is hosted on Hostgator and I am using Eleven40 theme from for my site beside that I am using W3TotalCache plugin to improve my site's performance. But the performance is still not improving. In gtmetrix it's showing very low performance. GZip compression enabled, images are compressed but still not getting expected result. Not only these two but from many other aspects like page size, load speed, the number of requests etc it's lagging.
Can anyone please suggest me a way around?
GTmetrix report
Try this plugin - it has worked for me a few times in the past:

I am developing a website for a car rental company and am using a subdomain for testing. The site is very slow on all browsers (and on the backend) despite high score on Pingdom, PageSpeed Insights, and GTmetrix. I'm not new to WordPress and page speed and have been able to achieve speed with the use of plugins and the right hosting.
I am using the Avada theme with the following plugins (I have already removed each plugin individually to see if any one of them was the culprit):
Autoptimize
JCH Optimize
Ninja Forms
Justified Image Grid
W3 Total Cache (used with maxCDN)
WP Migrate DB
WP-Optimize
wpMandrill
Our hosting provider is HostGator but I want to use Pagely.
Here is our Site
I just tested it out on pingdom and scored a 91/100.
Also, pages with very little content, such as our contact page, run slow as well.
FYI, this is a test site so you might find random pics of my dog in strange locations.
If you are using Google Chrome, open an incongnito page and open developer tools, click on network and then load your site. Now sort by time(latency). You will notice JCH Optimize, Autoptimize and WP-Optimize are taking up a lot of load time. Disable these plugins one by one to see if it makes any difference.
Also - I don't think you need three different plugins to optimize your site. One should be enough.
Hope this helps.
My site is running on Wordpress and uses Woocommerce to display most of the content. See my site here, I have a lot of images that could be part of the problem...
Google PageSpeed says I'm 0/100 for mobile speed and 11/100 for desktop speed, with a 44.5 server response time..
GTmetrix gives me an F for my speed, recommending I serve scaled images, leverage browser caching, add expired headers, make fewer http requests, and more.
I'm trying to interpret all of these poor scores, and would like some help on how to dramatically speed up my site.
Does anyone have any tips, or know what I can do to help increase the speed and improve my scores on these sites?
That site is certainly slow, however the load times appear to be primarily from the server (I'm seeing about a 3-5s load time before the server responds with content for the home page). This has nothing to do with how many images you are loading, it probably means you have a really slow plugin or piece of code.
I'm not sure how technical you are, but I'd recommend profiling your code. An easier solution may be to disable your plugins one-by-one until your site suddenly loads faster. Then re-enable every plugin except the last one to be disabled, and verify your site still loads fast. If it does, then the disabled plugin is likely the issue.
