Help! Site Speed Mystery

  • zencyonltd · Member ·

    Hey peeps,

    I have a limited budget and limited wp knowledge. I paid a developer to speed up the site and was left with 9 extra plugins! I’ve been clearing up the site since but cannot get my head around my gtmetrix load time and the developer has took the money and run :(

    (stop on load GTmetrix test)
    Page speed: A
    YSlow: B
    Page size: 744kb
    Requests: 29
    Load time: ……..9.7 seconds

    It was running at 3, I just can’t for the life of me figure this out. I checked the waterfall times and 2.49s & 5.52s are spent on the initial GET webpage. I know its a long shot, but if anyone can point me in the right direction I’d really appreciate it. It only seems to affect the homepage where I need most traffic to go, the other pages have crappy speeds but not this bad. The hosting company have told me the server is performing fine and theres no bottlenecks.

    Thanks.

    Hello,
    I am sorry but unless or until you provide the exact URL of the site you refer to starting with http:// we cannot provide any accurate answers to your questions. Please post it now.
    Thanks a lot.

    I’ve actually found the issue, not sure of a fix. If someone searches for zencyon.com the time is being spent on converting it from http to https. What do I need to do to make it just as fast when using http? Sorry if these are basic questions.
