I did click ‘reset settings’ on my theme dashboard yesterday, and the problems started shortly after.

I perhaps should have mentioned that.

Regardless though, the Twenty Twelve theme took as long to load, so that shouldn’t be the issue.

I had a feeling that may have something to do with it. So if I revert back to my premium theme and reupload all of the images as ‘true size’ for the site (i.e 1000 x 600 ish), I should see an improvement?

Many thanks.

Done. Thanks for your help – let me know what you come up with!

I’ve got 5-6 people on the site at the moment, but they’ll have to be patient!

Sorry for double post, but:

Tried deactivating plug-ins AND switching themes.

Neither worked. Loading time still north of 5 seconds.

I’ll give that a go.

I went on 123-reg live support, and they said it loaded fine from their systems in 2.3 seconds.

On my Chrome, it just took at least 6-7 seconds!

Indeed I did, but the problems persisted.

On the advice of 123-reg, I have now switched from Windows to Linux hosting, as apparently WordPress doesn’t play ball with Windows very well.

Shall see if there’s an improvement!
