Reply To: Really bad load time 10+ seconds with cdn and pro wp fastest cache plugin…

@Digital PR

Sorry to hijack the thread.

You have long TTFB.

In most cases that is caused depend on your server environment and hosting. Also some plugins for optimization tend to increase the TTFB, although you can see high scores the speed is low and that is you want to first fix.

Also many plugins can increase server proccessing and slow your site.
CDN also increase the TTFB in many cases.

We had similar problems with our hosting and after trying many plugins we found the best possible combination to use.

First leave only woodmart theme and woodmarts plugins enabled.

Disable CDN and any server optimization caching etc.

Run at least 2 times GTMETRIX.

See how the page behaves, how much time takes to load and what is the TTFB in seconds.

Install WP-Optimize. I know it’s for wordpress maintenance but they have a super speedy cache feature that generates static html files and is very fast. Enable the cache.

Check again with GTMETRIX at elast 2 times. 1 to warm the cache and 2nd to see the results.

If your TTFB is above one second with the default woodmart’s plugins only enabled and without any CDN and server cache, only the wp-optimize one, then you may consider switching server or buy a better hosting packer from your provider.
