    Hi there,

    My site is loading slowly (~10 seconds for the home page, others slightly faster). It’s been this way since I built it. I’ve checked with my host and they said that the site needs to be optimized. I’m using WP Super Cache, and I’ve almost finished optimizing all images on the site, but it’s still loading very slowly. Google pagespeed insights recommends that I minify Javascript, CSS & HTML. Can you offer any guidance on how to go about this? Or other things I can try to help with site speed?

    Thanks so much!

    Hey 1lizcollins!

    it could be 1000 of reasons why this is happening. Maybe you have too many plugins installed or maybe on specific plugin is causing this problem. Try deactivating all of them to see if things get changed.
    Google pagespeed would only be fully satisfied if you have a theme completely without javascript and only basic CSS/HTML. So this message is quite normal and should not cause the page to be slowly. Which host do you use? Did you try to increase your php memory limit?

    Cheers!

    Thanks Andy. I checked my plugins but none of them seemed to be the culprit. I switched my host to WP Engine from Dreamhost and the site is loading so much faster. It went from approx. 10 second page load to 2 seconds. So, you can mark this as solved :)
