 * We are experiencing very slow load speeds and are wondering if there are any 
   theme-related factors that might explain this. We are on a fast server but the
   TTFB (time to first byte) is showing as about 10 seconds. This means that when
   the server gets the request, it’s taking 10 seconds for the first byte of data
   to be delivered.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fload-speed-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@maxfrever](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxfrever/),
    First off,
   sorry for the inconvenience, we found there’s a problem on image sizes and GTmetrix
   also suggest to optimize the media entities. One of the better solution would
   be regenerate your thumbnails using available image regeneration tools/plugins,
   furthermore, we strongly recommend you to compress images using image compress
   plugins like Smushit and add expiries headers using image optimation plugins.
   We also suggest you to use site caching plugins in order to load the content 
   in an improved way. Additionally, while consoling the site, you have an error
   regarding google map, would you please try to fix that too? Best regards
