Pages load very slowly.

It could be any number of issues. Your host. Your theme. Your internet connection. Plugins or a plugin. A link to your site would be helpful, as per WordPress Codex > Forum Welcome > Include as Much Information as Possible, and the name of your host.

depend, if you’re using the homepage featured category, the query will be greater than normal blog list. an added few sec at most tho.

yeap like @neotechnomad , there’s couple reason why the load is slow.
