Website speed Load time

    I have tried everything in my power to decrease the load time of my website but it’s always blocking and I can’t get it below 6 seconds to load.

    I want 2 seconds or less load time!

    All my images are optimized to below 50 kb, homepage is less than 500kb and
    everything is cached and minified. It appears that even minified, there are multiple javascript files that could still be combined.

    I would use cloudflare but I have ssl on this site and I don’t want to pay a monthly for cloudflare in order to deal with my ssl.

    Any suggestions on improving load time?

    Thanks for the response nikeo, unfortunately I ran into some conflicts with W3 Total Cache and had to resort to WP Super Cache. So, everything is still being cached. I am also doing a generic mirror self hosted cdn to load my images.

    After reviewing with my hosting provider, they pointed out a rewrite rule in .htaccess that seems to be the culprit.

    RewriteRule (.*) /index.php?uamfiletype=attachment&uamgetfile=$1 [L]

    This rewrite rule is resulting in WordPress being recreated uncached for each image load, and loading the image as a PHP script rather than loading the image itself. When temporarily disabling this .htaccess file, this resulted in a significantly improved image and page load time, as can be seen a the URL below.

    I would recommend reviewing the functionality of the rewrite rule given above, and removing this rule to allow images to load directly to lower the processing required for each image load.

    I haven’t explored into the issue yet, not sure where that rewrite is coming from, it’s functions etc. But as you can see in their test on my site it loaded at 1.99s after they disabled .htaccess.

    Appears to be the User Access Manager plugin.

    Thanks for all the support, glad it wasn’t the theme!

    Ok thanks for the updates

    Hi there,
    I’ve tried many of this things but results are all similar on Pingdom, GTmetrix or Page Insight :
    The custom style.css from the childtheme always takes 6-7 seconds to load although it’s empty….

    Anything I can do ?

    Thx
