Using WordPress? How to fix slow website loading times.

Like most small businesses out there they want to create a Website by themselves by trying to save a few dollars but you are actually losing more money by having a slow loading website.

Millions of businesses use WordPress for their website but right out of the box it can be a slow loading website.

We transitioned to a theme to use the multifunctional tools that WordPress has to offer to make our website.

When we first brought over all our pages it was a smooth process then after awhile our Website started to slow down a little at a time.

Back end admin area was just as slow not even slower.

Our home page load time was 8 seconds or more and we had nothing on our homepage.

We put in numerous calls to the hosting company thought the servers were super slow.

Told us we had bad plugins or too many plugins which are a passive answer.

Time and time again we were told that everything is fine.

We went to blogs, forums and everything in between to find what the heck was going on. So frustrated…

Low and behold we found the solution to the slow website loading times. It was so simple just follows these easy steps and your WordPress theme speed will go lightning fast.

With a few of the right plugins, our Website now loads in under 1 sec.
