If I refresh, the 408 error will usually go away but often happens multiple times within a short span (30ish minutes).

Great idea on shareaholics. I changed it to just display on the individual posts and that changed my requests to 176. I’ll keep working through all this stuff. Thanks!

Thanks so much for your advice! I’ll look into CloudFare and Incapsula.

I have about 15 plugins. I deleted the ones I wasn’t using a week ago. I went to view my plugins page just now and I got a 408 request time-out error.
“Server timeout waiting for the HTTP request from the client.
Apache Server at box981.bluehost.com Port 80″

I’ve been adjusting things and using pingdom to check my speed over the past week but my changes don’t seem to be making too much of a difference. I will check with bluehost since I’m on a shared server.

Okay so I don’t know a whole bunch about the backend of things. What does 213 resources to load mean? Do I need to hire a coder to fix it for me?
