    Hi all.

    Hope you are enjoying the summertime.

    My site has started to run really really slow lately, and I don't know why... It's close to impossible to work in the backend, and browsing through the website is a drag, takes forever to load pages.

    Here's a list of things I've done so far:

    I tried turning off every plugin, and then on again one at the time, but no effect.
    I installed p3 plugin to see if it could see if any plugins were disturbing the site speed, but no effect.
    I have W3 cache plugin installed.
    I talked to my host, but they said everything is fine.
    I deleted every image over 2mb
    I just ran this report on my site: http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.mallorcaoplevelser.dk/hJM4K3iz and as you can see, the load time is over 20 sec.
    Also I don't know how to understand the report from this.

    Have any of you had similar problems or could maybe help by taking a quick look at my site?

    Any help is deeply appreciated.

    Best regards

    Jesper

    Good news is, it loaded pretty quick here and also on the test I did.

    http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/ef01Mf/http://mallorcaoplevelser.dk/

    If the link doesn't work, it says 30 http requests, loaded in 1.16s

    30 http requests isn't too bad. and just over one second is ok. The events manager plugin seems to be what is adding all the extra js, but I wouldn't worry about that if you're using the functionality of the plugin.
