What do third party tests show as taking the longest time to load on the site?
Clearly it is script/database related as you have said, because static content loads near instantly.

I don’t think is necessarily a file. It is more the starting of the downloading of the files required to view the website.
Have you tried
Clearing cache in your browser before viewing the updated page? to clear cache in your browser, press clrl+f5 keys simultaneously.
Switching to the default theme (Twenty Ten) for a moment by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes. The idea is to force WordPress to fall back to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific issue?
If you still can’t figure it out, try downloading WordPress again and replace your copies of everything EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies. This should replace your core files without changing your content and settings in wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory.
My site was running really slow and I then used a cache plugin and it runs a lot faster.
If none of that works, try increasing your memory available for your php.
Some almost random mentions from old personal experience :
– is your .htaccess wordpress standard, no unusual contents ?
– do you have the possibility to take a look at your hosting account’s apache access & error logs ? If you can, leave your website alone for a while, then open your website and bear with the wait time and all, and after this get your IP ( whatsmyip.net for instance) and search if there’s a mention of your IP in the error log (i.e. visiting caused errors : they ought to be clues), and maybe in the access log (to see if your IP loaded normal stuff or a ton of oddities)
– much more advanced, you can ask your web host to check their monitoring and see if, at the precise times you’re having the huge wait time there isn’t a temporary CPU usage peak, a RAM consumption explosion, or a surge in mysql slow_queries.

Twenty Ten is the only theme I got that actually gets a lower loading time (2 seconds). All the other themes, Twenty Eleven, Twenty Twelve, Twenty Thirteen and Twenty Fourteen all get 12+ seconds loading time.
What differs Twenty Ten from the other WordPress default themes?
