WordPress too slow and images not loading

Dear all,

I have setup a WordPress installation on my space. The installation has been successful and the ftp works fine. But loading times of WordPress are too slow (over a minute with just plain text) and most of the time the page doesn’t load at all. I have used the same database that was used with the Joomla installation that was previously installed on the site (Joomla install is on the same database). The settings are:

// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘303sqn’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘303sqn’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘REMOVED’); // Password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

And the table prefix is et to ‘wp2_’. So it shouldn’t interfere with the Joomla setup.

Cache (addition to config.php)is enabled to make the website faster but still no avail.

I have also tried to re-installed the WordPress script. The Joomla installation works fine and if as fast as ever. The WordPress installation is located at https://3wg.aafc.org.au/iis/hosted/303sqn/wordpress/index.php . I tried accessing the site from several computers and ISPs but the situation remains the same. The WordPress installation process was flawless with no errors.

What are your opinions on the matter?

EDIT: By the way, the loading times of the install.php file was fast and so was the installation. So I’m thinking it’s from the Database.
