 * hi there! if you test your page (there are many online tools), you’ll see that
   home page is 1.3 MB and loads in 4-5sec. That’s normal.
    if you want to be a 
   little faster compress your home page photos.

 * Hi, first of all, thanks for your response. I am glad to read that the website
   does load normal. I will compress my pics today and hope it helps. Maybe you 
   both can try again at the end of this day and see if it helps? When I logon to
   my WP-admin it takes about 5-6 seconds before I can login. Thats when I start
   worrying about the speed. [@romik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/romik/),
   is that normal? When I try a pagetest I get the result that the slider above 
   the vow is slowing my website down. What is your opinion?

 * Hi,
 * Use a cache plugin, if you know how to configure properly, it will speed up your
   website loading speed at least by 50%.
 * Even better if you have a server cache.
 * For your slider, use compressed images, it will speed up loading.
 * It will definitely be faster if you don’t use any slider.
    All slider uses images,
   the more image you have the slower the page load speed.
 * Same as Google Fonts, the more you use, the slower your page load speed.
 * You decide how fast you want your site to load.
 * Thanks!

 * I see your site is loading fast except the server is responding slow.
 * That said, what other posters have mentioned will not fix your problem.
 * Are you using VPS or shared hosting? I would recommend calling your tech support.
   I would ask them to look CPU usage and the server fundamentals. If they can not
   resolve your problem, I would recommend you switch to a different hosting provider.

 * Thank you all for your reply. I think that the main problem is my provider because
   he uses Shared Hosting. Somebody explained it to me and I am moving my website
   to a VPS provider. On the other hand there is a file missing (pattern8) in mijn
   website design and WP is looking for this file. Thats another reason. I don’t
   know how to fix this but I will try to find it. Thank you all for your help!
