In reply to: Godaddy or metake a look at the performance score tab in pingdom. Leveraged Browser Caching is low. Try the plugin, it will speed up. I am a godaddy user also, this option does help speed up the site loading.

In reply to: How to add HTML and CSS to a pageAs Matcol says you can use html on individual pages, you can style those pages with the right selectors in you style.css file but use a child theme.
The best way to make changes like this to a theme is to use a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

In reply to: Force custom fonts?Once you have your font setup then use the “style.css” file to use it where you want. You can also use the font in your text editor, but you will have to manually edit that in.

In reply to: Force custom fonts?If you wish to add more fonts do it like this:
font1|font2|font3Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Force custom fonts?Add this to your functions.php, I strongly suggest using a CHILD THEME for this. Place your fontname where it says YourFontHere.
// Add Google Font add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_google_font' ); function my_google_font() { wp_enqueue_style( $handle = 'my-google-font', $src = 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=YourFontHere', $deps = array(), $ver = null, $media = null ); }Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: how to add image to menu bar instead of wording HOMEYou are using a pro theme Cherry Framework, They might be able to help you as this might be a theme issue. If you changed the URL on your settings, it should take you to your home page provided that is what you set it for. Just FYI, if you change your headerphp file, copy it, add it to your child theme and make the changes there. If your theme updates, you need to check any changes it made to the theme headerphp file.

In reply to: how to add image to menu bar instead of wording HOMETo change your 3bar to “MENU” takes some PHP in your functions.php file as well as css. Use a child theme for this, you don’t want to edit your theme files directly. Here is how it is done with the Customizr theme, but it will not work for yours but should give you an idea on what to do, take a look. For you 2nd issue check your settings in WP, that’s where you change the logo/site title link.
