 * Hi!
    I’m having a hard time reducing the loading speeds of my website despite
   optimizing it to a 90% page speed score.
 * I have another WP blog on this host and it loads very fast, though it’s much 
   more lightweight when it comes to plugin usage.
 * But using a good W3 Total Cache configuration + Cloudflare shouldn’t result in
   load speeds such as 5 to 10 seconds. I suspect it might be a conflict somewhere
   but I’m totally lost in terms of finding it. That’s why I’m asking here if anyone
   could lead me in the right direction.
 * These are the plugins i use:
    BackUpWordPress BuddyPress Gravity Forms Jetpack
   by WordPress.com Register Plus Redux s2Member® Framework SeedProd Coming Soon
   Pro Ultimate TinyMCE W3 Total Cache WP-Mail-SMTP WP-Optimize WPBakery Visual 
   Composer WP SlimStat WP Smush.it
 * Thanks!

 * Have you tried to deactivate jetpack?

 * Yeah, didn’t do very much.
    However I’ve progressed a bit by removing SlimStat(
   considering i barely use it anymore) Now my average site load speed is around
   4 s
 * I believe there is still space for improvement, in case you have any suggestions

 * W3 Total cache can have the opposite effect if it’s not set up properly.
    I personally
   just call my host and have them make the correct settings and all is well.
 * Here’s a plug in that you can run that will tell you exactly what is causing 
   the load on your installation:
    [http://wordpress.org/plugins/p3-profiler/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/p3-profiler/)
 * I know if your site is already running slow, that another plug in is a pain in
   the ass to run, but if you can get through it the results may help determine 
   the exact cause.
 * Not sure why you need wp-optimize when you can just run the optimize function
   in My PHP Admin.
 * I also know that Back Up WordPress and Back Up Buddy can make a site run really
   slow. I personally opt to just manually back my files and database up when needed,
   and trust the backups already provided by my host.
