I’m reaching out for some help with improving the speed of my website. My website has grown quite large, with a size of 47GB. I’m currently hosted with 20i Hosting, and my plan includes 8GB RAM and an 8-core CPU, which should be more than enough to handle my needs.

Here’s a bit more about my setup:

• Hosting Provider: 20i Hosting
• Specifications: 8GB RAM, Unlimited Storage, 8-Core CPU
• Theme: MyDecor
• Plugins:
  • 10WebBoost Plugin with CDN
  • Cloudflare (Free Version)
  • WP Rocket (I’ve also tried this, but with limited success)

Despite all these resources and tools, my website is still slow, especially on product pages. I’ve tried optimizing with various plugins and CDNs, but the performance isn’t where I need it to be.

Does anyone have any advice on what else I could try? Whether it’s configuration tweaks, different plugins, or even changes to my hosting setup—I’m open to all suggestions. I’m really hoping to improve the speed and user experience for my visitors. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

I’m at a loss as to how to get speed back to where it was at the beginning of the week, at least so it’s fast enough to access the backend. I thought it was a temporary glitch, but now I’m not so sure.

Any thoughts/advice would be much appreciated.

I’m encountering a slow loading for my website. Once I disabled all plugins the website speed became fast. However, I couldn’t identify which plugin was slowing down my website even though I activated them one by one. Can anybody identify which plugin slows down my website?

Thank you in advance

However, now that I’ve just started using the plugin with my website I have found some worrying results.

I use the excellent Query Monitor to keep an eye on my website’s performance, and I’m dismayed to what happens after I enable this plugin.

As mentioned in the title, I have seen an increase in both the number of DB queries and the RAM usage for a page where an offloaded media item is shown. To wit, 200+ Database Queries (of which many are duplicate), and 14 MB of RAM.

What’s more confusing is even on pages where there are NO OFFLOADED MEDIA ITEMS, I am seeing ~200 DB queries and 5~6 MB of extra RAM all coming from WP Offload Media Lite.

Surely if the media URLs are re-written to be served from Amazon S3 in the DB, there shouldn’t be any need for so many queries?

How I tested these findings:

• 2 Different Pages.
  One with offloaded media, and one with locally stored (default) media.
• Activated/Deactivated Plugin.
  I activated and deactivated the WP Offload Media plugin each time.
• 10 Times.
  Each of the 2 different page types were loaded 5 times with the plugin enabled, and 5 times with the plugin disabled; this makes a total of 10 page loads.

The results were consistent each time. Every time WP Offload Media was enabled, I saw an unreasonable increase in the amount of DB queries and RAM usage. Query Monitor also clearly pointed to this plugin as the culprit.

For the moment, I have disabled the plugin, and I will wait for a response from the support team. Hopefully this gets resolved as I would love to continue using the plugin.

In query monitor we see a lot of queries from woocommerce plugin, which is slowing our site. Sending caller:

1. WC_Widget_Price_Filter->get_filtered_price()
   wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/widgets/class-wc-widget-price-filter.php:184
2. WC_Widget_Price_Filter->widget()
   wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/widgets/class-wc-widget-price-filter.php:90
3. WP_Widget->display_callback()
   wp-includes/class-wp-widget.php:394
4. dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-shop')
   wp-includes/widgets.php:837
5. load_template('wp-content/themes/woodmart/sidebar.php')
   wp-includes/template.php:790
6. locate_template()
   wp-includes/template.php:725
7. get_sidebar('shop')
   wp-includes/general-template.php:136
8. wc_get_template()
   wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/wc-core-functions.php:345
9. woocommerce_get_sidebar()
   wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/wc-template-functions.php:1051
10. do_action('woocommerce_sidebar')
    wp-includes/plugin.php:517
11. wc_get_template()
    wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/wc-core-functions.php:345

Please for help and any suggestion how to fix this, I would appreciate.

Best regards

If I look at Site Health, I see one critical issue: “Page cache is detected but the server response time is still slow.” Median response time is 918 seconds.

I also have two recommended improvements: “A scheduled event has failed” (“the scheduled event, epc_purge_request, failed to run”) and “You should use a persistent object cache.” I contacted my host about the latter, and they said to install W3 Total Cache plugin, which I’ve done.

I assume most of the speed issue is related to images—the site is 8ish years old and it’s a recipe blog, so there are a lot of photos. (With step-by-step process photos, a single page can easily have 20 images or more). I already resize the photos and lower the resolution to 72 dpi before upload (although I’m sure there are some from years ago which are way too big). I’ve installed Smush and have optimized about 30% of my images so far, but not seeing any improvement in speed just yet.

This morning I tried installing and running Jetpack Boost, but it made things worse (the load time was so slow that the site essentially became unusable) so I quickly uninstalled it.

I would appreciate any advice or suggestions for improving the overall speed. I don’t really have the budget to hire someone, so steps I can implement myself (I’m reasonably computer-savvy, but definitely not a developer!) would be fantastic.

Loading any page on my website takes more than 2 seconds and before showing any content on the page there is a white screen with a loading circle.

Here is link of my website: https://vodocentar.rs/

How to set up plugin to remove that pre-load white screen?
