Yes on both pingdom and GTMetrix the initial waiting time is like 4+ seconds. Once the data start downloading it loads up quickly.

I have tried gtmetrix and pingdom tools with all plugins deactivated and twenty sixteen theme enabled and My site loaded in 7 seconds which is completely unacceptable for a blog with very less traffic.

I have also tried to clone my site to another web hosting provider on different url and It was not much different there as well.

AFAIK the database could be the culprit as I have tried ruling out possibilities of plugins and theme.

Can you tell me how can I refresh the database of my website without loosing the content? I can keep wp-content and wp-config.php but dont know much about database.

PS: I have tried using database optimizing plugins and deleting post revisions without any improvement in the speeds.

Thank you so much it really helped. Now the image is of perfect size ??

I don’t really know. But it seems like this problem is coming more than often and no-one knows what is the cause of this problem.

You may have to contact your host. I have seen some posts where people fixed this issue talking to their host.

@davblayn I restored an old backup to fix it. You can also try to do the same

Only cpanel.

Yes 1 did mention ddos attack on xmlrpc.php file. I also have that file blocked

No I don’t have any cron jobs running. I have wp-cron disabled. Linux hosting. No backup schedule.
