Hi,
I have a pretty powerful server, but my site speed is pretty slow with NP8. I am working my way through https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ to resolve the issue, but I have think I may have found the culprit when running a performance test. The https://www.nysubway.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/style.css?ver=8.7.3 file takes a 3 full seconds to load, which is just nuts as it needs to load before any content. See the Screenshot below.
Please advise if this is correct.

I removed every single plug in by the way and it did not a noticable difference.
As always I appreciate the help

Of course, tried using WP Super Cache plugin, it made little difference. The elephant in the room is the https://www.nysubway.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/style.css?ver=8.7.3 file load speed, everything else is small potatoes.
Hi,
Super cache will serve the cached version of the website to non-logged users, try installing it and check while not logged in. Admins or logged users will not be served with cached content. We have a guide for it, the interface of the plugin changed but most of the settings are the same

Try to minify the CSS as well, minify it manually

Or try as suggested here in this topic

I see only one error in the website, related to some plugin

That might not cause slow loading speed however.
You should also consider using the latest version of theme theme when available, there are fixes and improvements with each update. Since 8.7.5 the theme is also GDPR compliant as well. This is an update guide
