Can I see those results somewhere online? Usually, Pingdom or Webpagetest give you a link that you can share with your test results. * Thanks, Cristian. * Thread Starter [jorismeermans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jorismeermans/) * (@jorismeermans) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slower-2/#post-9901729) * Hello Chistian * It was on [https://gtmetrix.com/](https://gtmetrix.com/); it was 27sec. (really slow), and it became 48sec after checking some options of the pluging… * We really have a lot of visitors to our website; around 1000 unique per day and I really want the loading time going down. I’m even considering building it again from the ground 🙂 so if you could help me out here, it would safe me a lot of time 🙂 * [Macho Themes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/machothemes/) * (@machothemes) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slower-2/#post-9901910) * Hi [@jorismeermans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jorismeermans/), * from what I’m seeing, you’d be able to shave off like almost 15s right off the bat by fixing 3 things: * – initial look-up takes around 10s (see first two entries in this list: [https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.beyondborders.be/zJSTF84H](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.beyondborders.be/zJSTF84H)) – generating a 404 page on your host takes around 5.5s which is huge * I’m going to go on a huge leap here and assume you’re using a cheap-ish shared hosting plan? That’s the root of most of your issues, currently 🙂 * You’re also testing from a CA server which is usually slower than a US based one. I’ve done a speed test on pingdom from a US based server, without cache warm-up it was down to: 15s, with cache warm-up down to 13s: [https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/cfl0lf/http://www.beyondborders.be/](https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/cfl0lf/http://www.beyondborders.be/) * Now, I’m not saying these are “good” speeds to have, but it’s at least a sign of moving forward 🙂 - This reply was modified 8 years, 3 months ago by [Macho Themes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/machothemes/). * Thread Starter [jorismeermans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jorismeermans/) * (@jorismeermans) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slower-2/#post-9901942) * 🙂 Thanks for the help 🙂 * I’m really paying for my hosting; as I made websites in the past for clients, I run a reseller platform where this website is hosted too. * How can I skip the initial look-up and the 404 page? And you say fixing 3 things, what is the 3rd one? * Thank you so much (already)! * [Macho Themes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/machothemes/) * (@machothemes) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slower-2/#post-9901959) * [@jorismeermans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jorismeermans/)) – it’s actually two things 😀 * 1. Get a better hosting 2. Fix that file giving out a 404, either remove it from wherever it’s being loaded or have your hosting company look up the slow loading times. * Thanks, Cristian. * [Macho Themes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/machothemes/) * (@machothemes) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slower-2/#post-9901965) * The file that’s giving out the 404 error is coming from a theme called “Royal” and is called custom.css * Thread Starter [jorismeermans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jorismeermans/) * (@jorismeermans) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slower-2/#post-9901989) * That is the name of my theme, Royal. I’ll try to find it, thank you! * [Macho Themes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/machothemes/) * (@machothemes) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slower-2/#post-9901993) * Also, throwing in a CDN into the mix should help quite a bit. I’d recommend looking into KeyCDN.com – which is what we’ve been using for a long time and we were quite happy with them. * Also, for combining JS/CSS files I recommend the awesome AutoOptimize plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/) * Thread Starter [jorismeermans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jorismeermans/) * (@jorismeermans) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slower-2/#post-9902009) * And if you feel like making the website faster, I’m really willing to pay for it. Just let me know if we can agreed to that; happy to pay half of the money in advance. * Greetz Joris * [Macho Themes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/machothemes/) * (@machothemes) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slower-2/#post-9902030) * Hi Jorris, * we don’t normally offer this as a service, but I couldn’t recommend Mike Adreasen more for a job like this. You can reach him on Codeable: [https://guides.wp-bullet.com/codeable-hire](https://guides.wp-bullet.com/codeable-hire) * I’ve already notified him about this ticket so he’s already up to speed with what’s being going on 🙂 * Thanks, Cristian. - This reply was modified 8 years, 3 months ago by [Macho Themes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/machothemes/).
