Thank you for your help, Tom, I couldn’t figure that the issue was with the fixed position of the navigation bar. The custom css also helped with the columns issue.
Thanks!

Remove the /fruitful.2.5/ directory
Structure should look like this: themes/fruitful/
Move the files and change the links in all associated files.

I am not good with css, but I saw that your #secondary.widget-area class is set to full width (width: 100%;). That might be the case.

Hi, ankur3334,
The problem with my site was that the directory structure looked like this ../themes/fruitful.2.2.1/fruitful/ and WP was unable to access the style.css, because it was looking for a css file within the “fruitful.2.2.1” directory, but in fact the location was /fruitful.2.2.1/fruitful/style.css
When I removed the /fruitful.2.2.1/ directory from the structure (actually copied the files from /fruitful/ to /fruitful.2.2.1/ and then changing its name to /fruitful/) everything worked properly.
Shortly put, the problem with my work was that WP wasn’t accessing the css file.

Edit: The link to my website posted above is not correct anymore. You can check the website here: https://mitove-i-legendi.net/Muhomorka.bg

I guessed that. Could you help me resolve the issue? Maybe if I change the encoding on the php file that generates the character string the issue might be fixed?

Just for the test I created another wordpress site on my host server. I got the same delay, even though it was just an empty WP installation.
The hosting support replied that there is no problem from their side.
Then I changed my hosting provider, migrated the website and now everything is running smooth. Just couldn’t find the problem.

Thanks, lorro, for the overall support!

A PHP error is also shown there:

error_reporting	4983
E_ERROR
E_WARNING
E_PARSE
E_CORE_ERROR
E_CORE_WARNING
E_COMPILE_ERROR
E_USER_ERROR
E_USER_WARNING
E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR
E_ALL

Unfortunatelly i don’t know what does that mean and is it relevant in any way?

I already tried that – no change. I found something interesting though:
I thought that a database query loop might be causing this huge TTFB. That’s why i tried Query Monitor – it seems to be a very useful debugging plugin. The test showed that the DB queries are deffinately not a problem, but it also showed that the page size loaded is between 50 and 60 MB. That deffinately would explain the huge loading time. Then i made this test on another WP website with very fast loading time (without Woocommmerce installed). There I found that the loaded Megabytes amount is 25. Yet, the website loads for 1 sec. That makes some doubts about the clue I am after – are the scripts really loading 50-60 mb of information or the problem is not there?

P3 showed this:

Total Load Time:	30.5821seconds avg.
Site Load Time:	12.4976seconds avg.
Profile Overhead:	18.0845seconds avg.
Plugin Load Time:	4.1972seconds avg.

I disabled all plaugins, except for Woocommerce and I still experienced the delay. I tried switching to the default theme and nothing new happened.

When I check the Chrome Timeline tool I see the same thing every time – ~5 secunds TTFB (Time to first byte) and ~3 more seconds loading time for everything else. I fail to narrow down to any segment, everything I tried seems to be irrelevant for the website performance. My server support failed to find any problem from their side.

I disabled Woocommerce and things seemed to change a bit – now I am waiting 5 to 6 seconds for the page to load instead of 8 to 9.

So, it seems that WP Core is loading for around 4-5 seconds itself.

Thanks for your reply, lorro!

I am surprised that the website is loading fine for you, because I am still experiencing the same problem on every computer I am testing it. I still have around 5 seconds TTFB (time to first byte) and then another 2 seconds for loading scripts and everything else.

I could use a cache plugin which might help a little bit, but yet I find it very odd that such an light weight website is taking so much time to response. I have uploaded only around 8 products and i am using only around 10 pages. I have uploaded some pictures though, is it possible that those uncompressed pics may cause this terrible loading time?
Also what would happen when I upload a thousand more products?

It seems that I made this general mistake and removing this needless directory resolved the problem.

Thank you!

If I change the width to less percent, the siderbar is shrinking but still staying down.

Thank you for the fast reply. However this is not working – I already had that option enabled – if I hadn’t i wouldn’t be able to see any sidebar at all (now it’s visible on the bottom). I tried to change the options to full-width and then again to sidebar, but this changed nothing. I also have the layout with left sidebar enabled in my Page layout settings.

Thanks for the reply. Here is a link for my webpage: https://tribak2007.com/muhomorka.bg/?post_type=product

The view of the shop page you posted is exactly what i need (with a sidebar on the left side).
