    i am in a bit of a quandary, I am using modern portfolio for my site and the home page takes ages to load ( 12 secs)
    I have enabled the google page speed service and it's still slow even when google are caching the site?

    I am using a cdn to serve the images and it's not really a heavy page but it's crawling!!

    anybody shine a light for me?

    Hello,

    Have you tried disabling plugins? What type of hosting are you using? This could be a few different things. It is a matter of finding the culprits.

    Just throwing out some ideas.

    Hosting is probably the issue if you're on shared.

    I know after using standard shared, Pro shared, Grid and different levels of VPS that managed hosting is the fastest.

    Its cheaper than VPS for one site.

    Web Synthesis also offer this type of hosting which also uses technology like what Google and Facebook are using.

    Thx, when i changed the cname the webhost said that really google are hosting my site now..not sure how that works? If i test the sitespeed on my site is about 290K in size and takes sometimes 2 seconds and scores 90+/100 or it taks 10-12 seconds and scores like 65/100.

    I am not sure how this pagespeed thing works to be honest- i know they cache my site and serve it, but it seems a bit wobbly to me, I am on shared hosting with stablehost right now but i am thinking of moving...but as my site is a new venture, i dont want to spend a fortune on hosting when i dont have the traffic just yet.

    A chicken and egg situation!

    Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea when it comes to hosting with some providers!

    Look into this issue:

    Remove the following redirect chain if possible:
    http://carwindowtintingtraining.com/
    http://www.carwindowtintingtraining.com/

    This is the delay in your site loading, once it resolves, the site loads super fast
