    The speed belong to many factors, but it 's so slow, I think you need to move to another hosting

    hey David.. I know... load time is terrible, sometimes almost 20 seconds to load.

    Suggestions for fast affordable hosting anyone?

      It's not slow here in SC. Loads fast. Hope that helps... If its still slow for you, I would contact the hosting company and get them to do some load testing.

    Try to use simple image rather than blink images and used HTML language to build your website.

    If you looking for good hosting company try hostgator I am happy client of them for about a year and a half and so far with no problems.
    Also make sure the problem is really the hosting by uploading simple html page to your main domain folder and check if it load slow as well.

    You really need all of those javascripts and css files? 88 requests for a static page isn't something normal.
    You must remove some of them.

    I don't think that your hosting provider is a problem, but you can make a try.

      IonutBajescu is correct. Getting a better host will only marginally improve the situation.

      The css + js files at the top of your page are killing the load time.



      The browser will download each of those items two at a time before it displays the page. That is where most of 20s page load time is spent.

      The solution is to bundle all the stylesheets into a single css file, and to bundle all the js into a single file.

      If I was you I would hire someone to sort it out for you. It would literally be 30min work for someone who was experienced.

    For a quick fix, try CloudFlare. Their caching engine will take a lot of the load off your server, and you don't have to make any configuration changes on your side. It's also free, prevents DoS attacks, and a bunch of other cool features.

    Home | CloudFlare | The web performance & security company

    There's also some fun stuff there... little paid add-ons. If you go to my site and press UP UP LEFT LEFT on your keyboard, a little space ship will appear and you can destroy my blog Atari Asteroids style. Just try it. lol.

    Remove javascript and css not min.

    You have all of the problems outlined above, in addition to this: The First Time To Buffer on the 301 redirect (www to non-www) is ~2 seconds. How is the redirect configured? .htaccess is not the best choice if you have access to the vhost configuration. Move everything in your htaccess to the vhost. Is this shared hosting?

    Outside of that, your biggest problem is the number of HTTP requests. Combine and minify all JavaScript and CSS assets.
    - 32 of 96 requests are CSS
    - 47 of 96 are JavaScript

    You should be able to cut that down by 75% or more.

    If you find that the page still loads slow on occasion, consider switching to a different host (not shared) or using WP Super Cache.

    Work on these areas:

    a) The following images are resized in HTML or CSS. Serving scaled images could save 166.4KiB (35% reduction) (these are the jpg images).


    b) Minifying the following JavaScript resources could reduce their size by 37.5KiB (3% reduction)

    c) 728.3KiB of JavaScript is parsed during initial page load. Defer parsing JavaScript to reduce blocking of page rendering.

    A full report about the loading-behaviour you can find at WebPagetest Test Result - Chicago : hypnotistjimmyg.com/ - 12/13/14 21:14:06
    The score (91 / 100) doesn't look bad, but the load time is 11.77 seconds - Waaaaaaay toooo long.
    Good luck

    Edit: and do what BrianJM85 mentioned above: combine your CSS to reduce server requests (same for JS)

      The plugin "Profit Builder" makes a lot of CSS and javascript requests. Although this is normally not a problem, when your website is slowed down by even a bit, it compounds because your homepage makes 92 requests to resources on your server. So you load the homepage, and 92 additional requests will load just as slow as your server delivers them.

      You could optimize your files and it would make some difference (go from 4 seconds to 1.5 to 2 seconds), but a bigger part of the problem is your slow server. I assume you got a cheap shared server that is maxed out and that's a big problem. Even hostgator would do a better job i think. A faster server would solve the problem even with a very clunky website.

      Whoever coded that plugin seriously did not consider the implications of loading dozens and dozens of resource files. Bad plugin.

      none of the things you listed would make any difference. image scaling wont make any noticeable difference. minifying by 3% wont make any difference. deferring parsing would make just a little difference but you still have 92 requests to make.

        It is so good that we have different opinions, otherwise this topic would be boring.

        The optimization areas I listed above helped me, so they might also help others.
        When you have a badly coded plugin that you depend on and cannot recode, there are limited possibilites.
        For one of my sites I had to go through similar optimization steps by minifying CSS files, optimizing image files (from plugins and themes) and gained a lot.
        Combining CSS files would have given me even more speed improvements, but I am not a coder, so I better left my fingers away from that part.

          as i mentioned in my post, it makes a big difference only when you have a very slow server (which he does). upgrading a server will fix the problem if he cannot edit the plugin himself or hire someone to edit it for him. and even if he minimizes the requests down to 20, the server is still slow, and it's still the main problem

    Thanks guys! awesome suggestions.

    The site was built on the Profit Builder plug-in.
    Hosting is on the HostPapa shared server (site traffic is very minimal - 30-50 hits per day)
    (which is the reason for not being on my own server)

    I moved the front page video to a secondary page which seems to have helped,
    although the number of requests is still way too high.

    Will have the .css rewritten and see what happens.

    Images on the homepage are super huge in size. Make sure you reduce the size of the images. That will drastically help in page loading time.
