OK, thank you for providing the additional information.

I can’t tell you exactly why your website is slow, but as some general information:

WordPress can be quite fast or extremely slow depending on how the site is configured. Having a poorly coded theme or plugin can really wreck your page load times with inefficient code and database queries.
Even if you don’t have a bad plugin or theme, simply the number of plugins can also cause load issues.
You can try to use a profiler on your site to see what might be causing these issues. P3 is generally highly recommended, but seems unmaintained. This article lists some alternatives. I don’t have experience with any of them, but feel free to try them and please do share your experience! 11 Free Alternative WordPress plugins for P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler)
If you haven’t done so yet, installing a caching plugin can be useful to help reduce the number of code to be executed for most requests.
I see your website is using Cloudflare. While Cloudflare makes websites faster, using Cloudflare actually increases TTFB on the main page. But since Cloudflare caches and compresses many things, the end result is a faster site, even though not every metric is improved. Cloudflare also has an article about this: https://blog.cloudflare.com/ttfb-time-to-first-byte-considered-meaningles/

Thanks @admin for your reply. I will follow your instructions and reply you my status.

Srujan · July 3, 2019, 8:34am

I am really confused to get a p3 alternative. I installed Query monitor but i did not understand what it is doing and deactivated it since i dont know any thing about programming (just completed my 12th grade) )

I installed autooptimize plugin which is a caching plugin ( i don’t know how effective its caches but i like its optimisation )

And already enabled brotli on cloudflare and i dont know if gzip enabled or not.

what should i do now admin ??

i used to get wait time under 1 sec before and i hope did not change any from then except i migrated to new account.

Thanks in advance.

Enabling Cloudflare compression probably won’t help too much with the load times. In the waterfall chart, you can see almost all files load in a few milliseconds, except for the main page. Which makes me suspect the bottleneck is in the WordPress code.

I don’t know which performance profiler plugins are easy to use, but I do suspect that a bad plugin or theme is causing these issues. If you have a plugin to analyze the performance impact of plugins, that would help a lot. And if you have any trouble interpreting the results, maybe you can share them here so we can look at it for you?

Specifically regarding Query Monitor, are there any queries which take a lot of time? Which queries are this, how long do they take, and which plugins or themes generate these queries?

@admin thanks for your reply.
I will send you screen shots of the report of query monitor plugin.
I think you are right that some plugin or theme it self is giving trouble to my site.
I am getting suspended for high CPU usage frequently even I have very less visitors.
Once I get my account back I will send you reports. Hope you help me.

Thanks in advance.

I got my account back from suspension and installed query monitor plugin and Set authentication cookie. Now @Admin you can see the report at bottom of my website studymaterials.ml by importing these cookies by editthiscookies extension from chrome ( I dont know if you have tis extention or not but here is link to download it

Here are cookies i expoted you can import these to get qurey monitor debugging.

I had a very hard time figuring how to work with that but none seems to go through my head. Could you please help me figure out what the problem is ?
Also i am not able to update plugins through admin dashboard and my page is going to maintanance mode every time i try to update 3 of my plugins. then i had to delete .maintanance file in ftp.

Hope you can fix my problem admin.

Thank you.

Srujan · July 8, 2019, 7:16am

Did you find anything wrong @admin ??

Admin · July 8, 2019, 1:25pm

I just tried to check the query results, but I was unable to get access to the query statistics with the cookies provided. The wp-query_monitor_XXX cookie seems to be the one needed, but it looks like it has expired already. Also, judging by the value, it may be tied to a user login, so I don’t know if it’s possible reuse this cookie at all.

Could you share a screenshot of the results instead?

Srujan · July 9, 2019, 3:49am

OK @admin I will send you screenshots of qm. Thankyou

Srujan · July 9, 2019, 12:18pm

there are ton to take screenshots and i don’t know what to screenshots specifically. Can i give you temporary admin access in wordpress so that you can take a look? if so give your mail address i would love to mail you the credentials for admin access to my site.

hope you wont mind any. Thanks

Ergastolator1 · July 9, 2019, 12:26pm

The Admin’s email address is [email protected]. Please use it for serious reasons.

Srujan · July 9, 2019, 12:53pm

Okk…can i send you mail @admin ??

Admin · July 10, 2019, 10:14am

Not really. I’m here to provide general advice and diagnose issues with the hosting platform. I don’t really have the time to go into detail to fix your website specifically.

Srujan · July 10, 2019, 10:27am

Ok thanks for your support. I figured out that the problem was because of images in that page. I lately got it. Thanks for your support
