Sorry, you’re using a premium/paid theme not supported in these forums. It’s best to go to the support site where you bought the theme enginethemes.com for help with customizations and issues. You paid for support when you bought the theme, so you should contact the people who sold you the theme.

These forums are for free themes available in the WordPress theme directory at http://wordpress.org/themes/. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products

The https redirect is either GD’s slow way of implementing SSLs or a lack of you correctly implementing an SSL with .htaccess, site options and within the database.

@mkpark: did you READ how I replied to alikilani?

SELECT option_name, option_value
FROM wp_5jans88f69_options
WHERE autoload = ‘yes’

That doesn’t say exactly what the option is; you’re only finding that it is autoload, as many options are.

I also have http requests that are giving “429 too many requests” responses….

Thats typical of a commercial, low quality theme that is very database-intensive.

That said, the “payload” part sounds suspicious. Deactivate that plugin and see if you still get too many requests.

And, you have nearly 3 seconds of server lag having to do with an https redirect: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/mobiletechtalk.co.uk/iw6bsGag Look at the waterfall tab. It’s either GD’s slow way of implementing SSLs or a mistake on your part.

Well, the common denominator is GoDaddy, not WordPress.

If you like, consider looking for a reputable person on http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or http://directory.codepoet.com or http://upwork.com to help. (FYI, it’s not a good idea to respond to work offers from random forum users who have read about your issues.)

am sharing the same problem with the same concerned people

Your issue is not the same as anyone else’s, and interrupting other people’s threads is impolite. Read https://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome

Dropping the connection is indicative of an overloaded shared server, as well as “Whilst the site is speedier when no plugins are included, we go back to the same issue when I add plugins back in one by one.” You can’t really do anything about that.

Running out of php memory can possibly be fixed, depending on how much access GD gives you: https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP
