 * Hello
 * Let me start this off by saying I have no formal HTML or CSS training and and
   am going by trial and error. I have also searched through other performance issues
   logged and cannot find anything describing what I am experiencing.
 * I have managed to reduce my home page load time from 12-20 seconds down to 5.5
   to 8 seconds.
 * Any pages where the URL refers to under /index.php/ take an average of 11+ seconds
   to load.
 * I have W3 total cach running as well as did some content changes based on feedback
   from gtmetrix.com and tools.pingdom.com.
 * No matter how much lack of content the page has, the wait time on the page coming
   back is incredibly slow. From monitoring in debug I can see no issues with the
   speed the JS and CSS are running, it seems to be all initial page requests are
   taking a while.
 * Basically it feels like whenever a page is under /index.php/ the server is taking
   a while to find it.
 * Main site:
    [http://sector17.co.za/](http://sector17.co.za/)
 * Example of Slow pages:
    [http://sector17.co.za/index.php/members/](http://sector17.co.za/index.php/members/)
   [http://sector17.co.za/index.php/updates/](http://sector17.co.za/index.php/updates/)
   [http://sector17.co.za/index.php/calendar/](http://sector17.co.za/index.php/calendar/)
 * When I monitor in debug and on various testing sights and look at the waterfall,
   the first request is always what takes an average of 5+ seconds.
 * What I need to know:
 * If this is because of an indexing configuration on the website itself, where 
   to look would be greatly appreciated.
    If it is related to response from the 
   host, I need this confirmed so I can address it with host. Thanks to all who 
   respond!
