    I don’t know what else to do to speed up this site – It takes forever to load. It’s even slow on the back end, navigating the dashboard. There are a lot of images but I have used Smush to compress all the images. I am also using WP Fastest Cache. The host is GoDaddy and I know that may be part of the issue. Any suggestions of what I can do with this site specifically? Thank you.

    Hey there, @adsartist!

    I hope everything’s going wonderfully for you!

    I see you’re using the Elementor plugin – that’s awesome! Have you had a chance to dive into the performance features it offers? If not, I’d definitely recommend checking out their documentation to ensure you’re making the most of their stable features.

    As you mentioned, GoDaddy could be part of the speed issue. When I ran an audit using PageSpeed Insights, it did seem like GoDaddy was taking a bit longer to respond than expected, though it’s not a major concern. If you’re thinking about switching your hosting and have some budget to spare, we’ve got some host suggestions on this page that might interest you.

    Now, when it comes to the website you shared, it seems that images are the main culprits, hogging the top three spots for potential improvements. If your current plugin isn’t already doing it, make sure to manually compress your images, and keep up with the latest supported image formats in WordPress.

    Using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) can also work wonders. Cloudflare is a fantastic choice, and it often suits the needs of smaller websites for free.

    Lastly, to really amp up your website’s performance, I’d recommend giving WP Rocket a try. It goes beyond just caching and covers various other performance-related aspects.

    By the way, for an added layer of security, you might consider enabling an HTTPS certificate. GoDaddy has a helpful article explaining how to do this right here.

    Best,
