 * I am very intimidated to ask a question here because I generally do not understand
   the answers:), but here it goes.
 * My site is extremely slow. Alexa says I am slower than 92% of other web sites.
   Yikes. One thing that google says is to “Leverage browser caching.” I have read
   the responses that refer to this and I have no idea what anyone is talking about.
   Is there an easy way? Pretty please help:)???
 * My site is [http://www.kidworldcitizen.org](http://www.kidworldcitizen.org)

 * Try deactivating all of your plugins & switching to the Twenty Thirteen theme
   to narrow down the issue

 * If I switch themes…? That makes me nervous. Would I lose anything on my site 
   if I switch themes? Doesn;t that change things?

 * There is no magic bullet in these situations. This is just the start of basic
   troubleshooting and is a process of elimination deliberately designed to locate
   the root cause as quickly as possible by first removing the most obvious and 
   common culprits via a series of (often) temporary steps.
 * Your theme & plugin settings are saved in your database and should be retained
   for future use.
