Extremely slow page load time with Enfold theme (other themes load fast)

hey,
can you share a link to your website so we can check it.

Do you have Enfold’s performance options active?
Theme Options > Performance
Have you tried some of the built in optimisations that are available in the theme to combine css files and js files

As a complement I suggest Wp Rocket Plugin will help you reduce waiting times.

see here the results on gtmetrix: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.the-hawkeye-effect.com/lrxz6lz6/ the TTFB ( Time to first byte) is extremly high and the FCP (First Contentful Paint ) as a consequence as well.
In my opinion, however, these variables are initially independent of the theme you use.
On the layerslider Options Dialog there is on top right an icon – these three dots: Click on Systemstatus and look if all your php Values are high enough for a WordPress CMS.


maybe you can post here too the Servervalue Results.
Then what @carlosquispehernandez mentioned – activate first the merging of enfold on Enfold Options – Performance : Merging

see here a solution with your video – after you have checked it – i will go and set in a different video and image.
here are the results on gtmetrix: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/enfold.webers-webdesign.de/k7GTMbfW/
the TTFB is higher than normal on my server – this is due to the video – but it is 1s ( long enough but not 4.5s) – with only enfold merging enabled.

by the way and off topic:
see that page – and look if the responsive behavior isn’t this way better too. https://enfold.webers-webdesign.de/gallery/
what i did:
first i give a custom class or ID to that color-section – in my case it is an ID: hawkey-bg-video
the settings on that color-section are: no minimum height
the settings on the bg-video ( aspect ratio: 1920:700) – yes you can insert this values

now to have the correct responsive height of the color-section we had to synchronize it with that video aspect ratio
700/1920*100 = 36.45
that means : if the width is 100vw the height of that section had to be: 36.45vw
but your content must have enough space inside that section – so a min-height had to be set for small screens:

#hawkey-bg-video {
  height: 36.45vw;
  min-height: 330px;
}

#hawkey-bg-video .container {
  max-width: 90%;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
  z-index: 5
}
