    I have read throug several posts dating back to 5 years ago, concerning slow page loading times. I have deactivated / reactivated plugins. The Jetpack plugin seems to be the one that is causing some of the main issues. Now that I have played around with it, my site is taking forwpever to load, rather than the 3-4 seconds it took before. Now we are taking up to 20 seconds! Please take a look and advise me what to do. My site is http://www.stoneybrookworkingdogs.com

    You should optimise your images for web.

    Take a look at this. The images on that page are tiny by comparison to your dog photos.

    I checked your home page’s loading speed using https://tools.pingdom.com/ and wow that’s slow. Please run a check yourself.

    Yes as @martcol points out, your images could be optimised. But your site isn’t actually that over-sized.

    The main problem was a 17 second wait for the server to respond, then direct the site to the non-www domain. I don’t know what the exact problem is but suggest that delay is your priority to look at.

    Google “Time to first byte”.

    What hosting company are you with, Bluehost? This could be a problem at their end.

    I’d guess that’s Nothing to do with Jetpack but you can test that theory by temporarily deactivating it then running another test.

    And set up caching if you don’t already have it.

    And I think Bluehost enable you to use Cloudflare – worth a look at that.
