Thank you for the links Tara.

I applied it but it doesn’t seem to have fixed it. Do you have any other ideas about how to fix this?

Again, thank you!

Slowness/high CPU usage could be due to (but not limited to):
– A poor or memory intensive theme.
– Poor or memory intensive plugins.
– your server is slow (e.g., “process hang”, overload, you get a lot of visitors, other problems, etc.); generally, every inexpensive host out there is slow.
– lots of images.

Hi.

I did inspect element on your website and I noticed following Javascripts and several google fonts are taking huge time to load.

travelerguides.net/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.2.1

Refer following URL for more information on page analysis of your web page.

Thanks,

Thank you for your replies! I tried to login to dashboard to try to install p3 and disable google fonts, but it also doesn’t load the dashboard! Is there a way to try and fix this directly in the files?
If so, how can I do it?

Also I can’t test the website in the links you gave me:
https://gtmetrix.com/leverage-browser-caching.html
https://www.webpagetest.org/
https://tools.pingdom.com
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/

because it says it times out before the site loads ??

Sorry for all the questions, but I really need help from someone more experienced dealing with this, it’s destroying my site ??

Thank you again!

update:
i was thinking maybe the problem was in the host, but the resources don’t seem to be overused, see below:

(hosted with Arvixe)

Also, this happened after the website had a day with unusual high traffic.

Now sure if it helps at all, hope it does!

Issue was solved by changing host.

Thank you for the support!

Glad you got it sorted ??
