When digging in more it looks like the cacheing plugin might be slowing things down the most. Quick Cache is what I’m using. I tried one or two other of the popular caching plugins before this but they all broke the site.

I guess I should keep that disabled and cache the site via .htaccess.

Think it may be the theme.

Deactivating Plugins chipped away a little bit but the theme brought the load time down the most. Still not blazing fast but could probably live with it.

So if it is the theme, what might I do to troubleshoot that, aside from choosing a different one. The theme I’ve chose has tons of widgets and images, so it’s going to take longer to load regardless, but I’m not sure why it would cause a holdup initially.

I’ve looked through a lot of those.
I wish there was pagination so you could browse through more of them. Only shows 10 themes and without knowing what to search for it is hard to just find Themes by randomly searching for words. But I guess I’ll give that a shot.
