Slow Loading Site

    My site (http://www.gardenposts.co.uk) seems to take ages to load.

    It seems OK once it has loaded in a browser session, however after that session is closed, it takes ages again to reload. Usually more than 10 seconds.

    The site is hosted on a shared Linux server at 123-reg.

    The site is relatively new so not overly content heavy.

    I have optimised the tables through phpMyAdmin.

    Any help gratefully received.

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    Hi Esmi

    You have been a great help. With your advice I have identified the issue as being the theme.

    I currently run PlatformBase theme.

    I get a Google Speed Test of 56 using my PlatformBase theme.
    I get a score of 83 when using Twenty Eleven and the page appears to load immediately.

    I presume this would not be expected when running Base? The only changes I have made to the Base CSS are negligible and I have tried removing them, but it make no difference.

    Any ideas?
