Speeding WP–media files and plugins

    My website is extremely slow. Lots of suggestions online, but I have three specific questions:

    There are 400+ images in the media file. Do the ones not used on the site (most of them, I think) slow down site loading?

    Is there any easy way to tell which of the media file images are being used on the site?

    The same first q re plugins: Do unactivated plugins slow site download?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    No, this number is completely irrelevant. It would probably only be relevant with hundreds of thousands of images, but then not because of blocking during the loading process, but rather because the hard disk is very full during hosting.

    Is there any easy way to tell which of the media file images are being used on the site?

    No.

    The same first q re plugins: Do unactivated plugins slow site download?

    No.

    Also take a look at this article on optimizations in general: https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/advanced-administration/performance/optimization/

    @wperic I know this has been marked as resolved, but I want to add that when I ran the site through PageSpeed Insights there was some weird activity that appears to be caused by an unreliable server.

    As the article shared above by @threadi mentions, you should probably examine your server/ hosting setup to see if that is the root of the problem.
