I have been working with Godaddy hosting (the linux virtual server provider) because of the issues of very slow loading time of the site.
I tested the loading time with different tools but it’s seems loading time is very high. Rather in the flow I could see that it’s wait for 5S/7s before loading the website. This is really slow
(see the attached pic 
)

Godaddy says this is coding issue and the web developer says this is server issue but I’m stuck now . Any pointers would be really helpful !!

Hello,
Please follow our official page speed guide here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Also please make sure your memory allocation is correct: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
You cna also switch to php 7.0 (only if you use the latest version of the theme. right now you have 7.6 so you need to update your theme as well) as it is faster than the previous version.
Thank you!
PHP 5.6 will help quite a bit, and may even be “required” for current version of WordPress.
Make sure 64M allocated to WordPress in your wp-config.php file.
Use fewer widgets on posts/pages and homepage; don’t use the “more from author” stuff bottom of posts, don’t use widgets in footer, etc. to ‘streamline’ your pages/posts.
Check with GTmetrix.com for other stuff perhaps not optimized.
Thnx and I been provided with all these same links but no luck 🙁 I will check with the latest version of theme. Is there any automatic way to upgrade the Theme? All my custom setting will go away after theme upgrade? More over nobody is helping me to say what is happening at the second stage and why it’s waiting for 7s to get a response ?? Can you provide bit insides of this please?
Thank you much
I have the latest WordPress version installed. I never changed any code and one day suddently I got this issue and started seeing this delay.
Hi,
I have inspected you website and it seems to load poorly indeed. From what I can tell the website is taking a lot of time loading the cache you are using – https://www.screencast.com/t/DxOwNzhYt7x and almost half a second for each image on the website. Adding those together results in the present situation.
Basically these are the theme requirements – https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
What you could try is use the recommended cache plugin with the settings specified here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
You can try a fresh theme install with the latest version using one of these methods
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Then install only the plugins provided in the theme package. Also take a look to the guide about improving page speed, provided above. Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks
And PHP 5.6 has opcache which really speeds up WordPress quite a bit. Highly recommended to get this setup in your hosting panel.
Hi, you seem to know what you are talking about 🙂 so do you mind helping me?
I am having a similar issue. http://www.agentinsider.com.au – I am on the “personal hosting” with this company: https://wphosting.com.au/web-hosting/ but after bringing up the slowness I am apparently now on the “business hosting”.
But if you visit my site it takes so long to load… https://gtmetrix.com/reports/agentinsider.com.au/ADWmyXKb says 5.8 seconds but I keep checking on different friends phones and it takes about 10 seconds :/ I want / need it to be 3 seconds – max 4 seconds.
Do you have any idea why this is happening? Do you think it should work fine on that hosting plan?
