I have done a number of things:
.switched to a wordpress hosting package
.resized all my images
.installed w3 total cache “and emptied all cache”
.I have deactivated each plugin to see if that was the issue
.deleated unused plugins
.added my website to cloudflare (just the free package)
.I even tried to add more subdomains following a tutorial to spread out the requests but no luck
I’m using a theme called Montserrat, which I bought from envato and I’m really lost any help would be great?
Even if anyone could explain how else I could improve the first time byte?
Thank you in advance

I have checked your site on https://www.webpagetest.org/ and even with https://gtmetrix.com/ and according to both the reports I think follow the below steps:-
1)The first important thing is that you have to compress your images.
2)Secondary thing is that defer your javascript ie. you can do this by adding scripts in this manner <script async>.
3)Instead of using external css links you can download the files and upload them in your folder.
Best Regards
]]>Thank you for helping, I have compressed all the images there but its not made much of a difference, I’m just starting on steps 2 and 3 but I’m not really sure how to go about this,
I’m still quite new to wordpress, would you know of any tutorials I could follow?
Thank you
