My website has suddenly become really slow

  • My website has been running really slow since I manually downgraded to an earlier wordpress version and then later upgraded back to the newest version.

    I have de-activated all my plug-ins and I have decided they are not the issue.

    I have also reverted to an older back up and the problem persists.

    My website runs at normal speeds in Twentytwelve so I have worked out it is a problem with my custom theme.

    I’m not missing any files since my downgrade and the wp-content folder was left untouched.

    the website is – https://www.apolloenviro.co.uk

    Any help would be much appreciated as i’m running out of troubleshooting ideas.

    Thanks,
    Dan

    Google webmaster is also unable to fetch my robots.txt but I expect this is because of the slow loading times of my website.

    As you say, it’s theme-specific. However, you may look at this report and make corrections as the report indicates (on the left side).

    Your robots.txt file is OK. If Google Webmaster Tools cannot fetch it, see if it can after reverting to a default WordPress theme. If it works, then work on your custom theme to speed up and try again.

    After enabling mall the expires header, cache control header and entity tags options on my W3 Total Cache plugin i’ve seen no change to my speed report and the same files are classed as having no expiration set.

    Is there a way to target these individual files so I can give them an expiration date?
