 * I have wp site with woo commerce installed on it. It has about 6-10 products 
   only. It is on a business plan server on hostgator. After installing https, my
   website loading time has increased too much. Before it used to load in 4s now
   it is taking around 12s. All this is happening because there are high waiting
   time(around 2-3 s) on every request sent to the website.
 * All this happened after installing Really Simple SSL Plugin. I deactivated it
   but speed was still the same. So i activated it again.

 * Hi,
 * 12 seconds loading time is indeed pretty slow. Your website is only 540kb in 
   size, that’s good. If the loading times are like that with or without SSL enabled
   It’s usually because the hosting is slow. You can try to disable non-critical
   plugins one by one to see if any of those is causing the long wait times. If 
   the loading time remains the same, I’d suggest to contact your hosting provider
   about this.
 * We have done extensive speed testing and Really Simple SSL shouldn’t make the
   site much slower, see [https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/really-simple-ssl-make-site-slower/](https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/really-simple-ssl-make-site-slower/).

 * As disabling the plugin didn’t speed up the site, this shows this is not caused
   by the plugin, but by the SSL connection. Apart from the hosting, I would specifically
   check for third party scripts, which can slow down a site considerably when on
   SSL.
