Homepage Loading Too Slow

Hello,

I did a search in the forum and saw that other people encountered similar problems with mine. However, my situation is a bit different therefore I created a new topic. If you feel it would be better to move this somewhere else, in a different topic, please do so, by all means!

So to the issue: I just installed Newspaper and Visual Composer on a dedicated server. The problem is that the homepage loads too slow (gmetrix says loading time is 45 seconds!!!), regardless of whether I have caching installed. I tried disabling all plugins with no luck. Then I totally deleted my installation of wordpress and did the whole thing from scratch. The second I enabled the theme and visual composer, the homepage became terribly slow again, even though I haven’t really used it, or created any posts! My gut says that this is more a Visual Composer issue rather than the topic. Please note that i manually installed the Visual Composer and not by the theme page.

The interesting thing is that, on the same server I have another installation of wordpress using Newsmag and the visual composer and it works like a charm! Not only that, this installation is a live website with more than 40 posts per day and more than 25000 visits per day and it works flawlessly! I could really use some help to identify what went wrong! If you need wp-admin access, please let me know!

Thanks

Ignore my gut saying this is probably a visual compose issue. I disabled it and the theme panel still runs really slow. The homepage doesn’t contain anything right now so the slow load may not be that visible, but when you log in to the them panel, it is terribly slow.
