Enfold slow loading front & back end. Need Help

Hello,

I’ve received confirmation from our hosting support that our Enfold theme is causing 30-45second delays loading pages for visitors and admin editing on the back end. I’ve optimized the site as much as I can, i’ve done all the steps concerning updating everything, deactivating plug-ins, wordpress memory expansion, etc. Visitors have to wait upwards to a minute for a single page to load and it’s been the same on the backend making site changes.

Please help.

Here’s the stack trace support copied showing the theme being the loading issue…
