 * Our website is slow and I don’t understand why. We recently moved our site to
   a new server. It should have it helped improve the speed of the site but it didn’t.
   I’ve deactivated and removed all plug-ins which we are not using. When I look
   at it in Firefox developer, there is something called Gecko which is taking up
   the most time. But I don’t know what it is or how to fix it.
 * Any thoughts on how to speed up site?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fslow-website-14%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I see a bunch of 500 errors when your site tries to load images.
 * Errors like this are logged. Check the error log on your server. If you can’t
   find the log, please contact your host.
 * Meantime, enable wp_debug and wp_debug_log and after an error, look at wp-content/
   debug.log to see if anything gets logged there. [https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress)
 * You can also try this: Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of 
   the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one
   to identify the source of your troubles.
 * Please install the health check plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   It will enable you to disable plugins and themes without affecting how other 
   users see your site.
