    Hi
    My website is loading extremely slow, a couple of days ago it took around 7 seconds and to day 11.80 second when I tested it with Pingdom.
    I’ve been in touch with my host anfd they’ve tried to fix it in their end as much as they’ve could. Now we’re thinking if it’s something to do with WordPress itself?
    Also I’ve removed all unnecessary plugins and stuff.
    Would appriciate any ideas and help.
    Thanks

    Slowness/high CPU usage could be due to (but not limited to):
    – A poor or memory intensive theme. Switch to the WordPress default theme and test loading time and see if you see a difference. If you do, may be your theme can be re-written to be more efficient.
    – Poor or memory intensive plugins. One by one disable plugins and test loading time and see if you see a difference. If you do, may be that plugin can be re-written to be more efficient.
    – your server is slow (e.g., “process hang”, overload, you get a lot of visitors, other problems, etc.); generally, every inexpensive host out there is slow.
    – I don’t know if you use CloudFlare or not but if you do I would suggest deactivating it and seeing if it helps. Also sometimes a good purge of the cache on CloudFlare can help. – Lots of images can cause slowness. Also images loaded without compression.
    – Lots of external content (facebook/ gravatar/ google adds, etc.) and redirects in general tends to slow sites down.

    Test your site, e.g. at:
