 * I’ve been having a problem with my WP site on Godaddy servers for a week now 
   and nothing seems to be fixing the issue…and they are NO help.
 * Regardless of what plugins I turn off, uninstall, etc. I’m getting a 15 – 60 
   second load time lag on my site. When I run the pingdom.com tests it’s consistently
   showing that most of that time is waiting on the Servers (before it even starts
   processing style sheet,etc.)
 * And GoDaddy is blaming it on servers, wordpress and everything else under the
   Sun but offering no SOLUTIONS.
 * I’ve run their p3 plugin that says my plugins are only causing a 3-4 second delay……..
 * So, there is no explanation or SOLUTION…. to the initial wait on the server.
 * DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS???
 * (*Additional info: I know I need to do more optimization but that doesnt explain
   the initial server delay. And the fact that this problem started a week ago….)
 * SSL Certificate, Dedicated IP

 * Looks like [redirecting and client errors](http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/uaj9jvvUb/http://www.thirdrailers.com/),
   the initial page loads are killing it, have you tried a page cache plugin [wp-super-cache](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/)?
 * Looking at the page source, there is no cache plugin, so pages are delivered 
   every time, with a cache plugin it will load the html while the dynamic content
   catches up.
 * Also you have a tweet plugin that load jqury in the header, see if that can be
   loaded in the footer, sometimes there is a checkbox.
 * Is there anyway you could switch out to the default theme and test the speed?

 * Also, try saving your permalinks to a new setting. Then, after they are saved,
   switch it back to your original setting and save again.

 * On the Pingdom page, look at Analysis you will see two values.
 * 3xx The request was redirected to another target
    4xx A client error occured,
   for example 404 page not found
 * Your images are showing as 1.1mb, try the [smush it](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-smushit/)
   plugin.

 * As for the super cache plugin… I’ve tried it before but it caused serious issues.
   Maybe that is based on how I configured it.
 * Any suggestions as to settings?
 * Will look at the twitter issue…
 * Will try the smush it plugin…
 * Can’t really go back to the default theme…. it’s already gone and I have to make
   this one work (until I can find someone that won’t charge me an arm & a leg to
   optimize and make changes to the code/theme…which I need to do soon!)
 * THANK YOU ALL!!
