Website incredibly slow

I’d say you need caching, but I see you’re already using using W3TC. Pages that are already cached do OK, but pages that need to generate cache take forever. As this is a TTFB issue, I suspect your host is overloaded, misconfigured, or underpowered. Please contact your host.

Thank you very much @sterndata
I’ll do as you say.

Problem is that in the Dashboard nothing loads in less than 90 seconds. Is that a caching problem as well?

The dashboard is not cached, so it’s the same issue.

Thank you @sterndata
I’ll let you know if I could solve the problem the way you suggested.

In any case you’ve been of a great help!

Mine was very slow at first too… haha but not as slow as watching water dry with your site.

Two things – 1) Hosting could be poor 2) Theme can play a major role as well.

Besides that, in my case I have a fast host, and suppose to be fast theme or at least responsive – however I was still in yellow bottom and red. In my case I loaded website in wrong directory, the host moved it for me – it’s had all kinds of quirks that no one else has possibly due to a bad first install. Long story short – I got mine pretty fast on both mobile and desktop.

I used Cloudflare & litespeed together – I tried every plug in out there and tweaked for months with each one setting by setting. For me and my site with my theme & host that was the magic bullet – every theme and host varies so your mileage can vary.

Just Do one or two things at a time. PURGE, wait sometimes a day if things don’t seem like they did anything. I usually saw in minutes to an hour if a new setting was right for me but after a lot of changes – it took longer.

DONT be concerned with getting 100 perfect score – ONLY be concerned with the speed it loads.
