Slow Initial Page Load

Hi,

I hope someone will be able to shed some light on my situation. I have a WooCommerce installation that has what I find to be a slow initial page load time. Due to caching and the use of CloudFlare all subsequent loads of the page after the initial load are quick.

I am using Shared Hosting and I was wondering if this could be the reason that the initial load time is slow (usually around 3-5 seconds). The main file that is causing this load time is the admin-ajax.php file (between 2-3 seconds).

Using Google PageSpeed the main area for improvement is “Reduce initial server response time” which is why I am thinking that my issue is related to my hosting provider.

My hosting provider is convinced that the issue is related to a plugin and/or theme but I do not think that is the case. Any insights on this, I have exhausted all avenues and I do not really have any inkling as to what could be causing my issue.

Thank you, any help is appreciated.
