    Hi –

    I’m getting load speeds on my site backdropsforbands.com of 8 – 10 secs.

    https://gtmetrix.com/reports/backdropsforbands.com/LVfHKhUu

    I’ve tried W3 Super Cache, Better WordPress Minify and a host of other plugins intended to improve site speed and fix the suggestions in gtmetrix. I’m still getting terribly site speeds. I have also tried the various fixes you guys have prescribed in previous support threads I found here.

    The server is not the issue — in my previous theme that I had up until a few months ago, Styleshop, I never had this issue before.

    All images are optimized.

    The speed issues started once I switched to Enfold Gym.

    I’ve added all my login info in Private Content for you to look at it — you full permissions.

    Would REALLY appreciate your prompt assistance, I have customers being turned away by slow site speed.

    Thanks,
    Mendy

    Hey emskrd,

    Please see the link in private for a more detailed test, 60% of what is being loaded on your site is images so you might want to have a look at reducing that. As for time; waiting for the server to respond (indicated in yellow) is very dominant. This is something you would have to bring up with your hosting provider.

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Hi –

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have reduced the images on my homepage half the size it used to be.

    Still having very slow load times.

    I never had this issue on my previous theme, Style Shop. This started ever since I began using Enfold, so the issue must be something in the theme.
    For proof of that — I just switched my site back to the old theme for a minute, and the results improved dramatically — see link in private content.

    Can you dig a little more and see what might be the issue?

    Thank you

    Hi,

    The issue is also on the resources used from each theme.
    Have you tried using WPRocket?
    The Plugin is working really good with Enfold and they have done many compatibility tests with Enfold.

    Best regards,

    I’ve checked your website, and the load time is between 2 and 4 seconds.

    Thank you SO much!! WPRocket is just unbelievable. It has sped up my site incredibly, it’s blazing fast now. Thanks for the headsup.
