Help needed Slooow WordPress site

  • I messed up a previous post when I tried to edit in a link to my site. Any attempt to access my web site is extremely slow, if it even loads. I am a novice at this and could use some suggestions that a beginner can comprehend. My site was very quick to load until recently and I had not changed anything that I know of that would have caused the slow down.

    Thank you both. I have the password issue resolved now and the site can be accessed.

    I did open a GoDaddy support ticket and had them take a look at things. They suggested that I move the deluxe classic hosting to their grid hosting system, which I did. It seems to have much improved the slow loading problem I was having.

    Thanks for all the help.

    I re ran the pingdom.com speed test and load time has improved from 95% slower than all sites tested to 70% faster than tested sites. I am happy with the results after switching to the grid hosting.
