    There are so many factors that go into the speed of a website. GTMetrix and Pingdom are good tools to help guide you but they cant help with everything.

    On the WordPress website side of things, you’ve done most:
    – Implement caching
    – Minify and reduce the number of resources loaded
    – Reduce the size of the page and images loaded
    – Try using lazy load for images off screen

    Other factors:
    – DNS – how long the DNS takes to reply – if you’re using the shared hosting DNS, it wont be fast
    – Hosting
    — How long for TTFB (responsive of server)
    — How many entry processes your account has to process requests (e.g. if your account is limited to 10 (normal on shared hosting) and you have 58 resources, it will only load 10 at a time and all other subsequent resources have to wait until one finishes and is available)
    — CPU and Memory of server – same as a PC, the more CPU and memory, the faster the processes run and complete.
    – Bandwidth – how much bandwidth the hosting company allows – it will throttle connections to shared hosting accounts to ensure premium accounts get premium services.

    I have also found on shared hosting services that speeds fluctuate depending on time of day – afternoon and early evening are slower because of the increased traffic online…

    Get a premium Hosting account
    Get a premium DNS hosting service
    Get a CDN service

    Hey there! 🙂

    Really appreciate the time you took to explain all this.

    I think that changing my hosting might be a good solution.

    I’ll leave the topic as resolved if that solved my issue.
