dear Lay Team & community,
I started building my 2 sites with Laytheme in the middle of last year and am very enthusiastic about the scope of possibilities and the constant great updates. Unfortunately I have to struggle with massive performance problems with both domains and am now at the end of my knowledge and do not want to move to another theme/solution.
The domains I am talking about (i have set it to public so that you have access to it):
https://www.josua-rappl.de --> almost finished and manageable in terms of overall size
/ deactivated woocomerce (to test whether this could also be the cause)
https://www.roucs.com --> very naked, only placeholders very little content but still awfully slow
/ activated woocomerce
both domains run via the hoster dreamhost recommended by you and the booked package is called "share-unlimited"
what I have tried so far:
/ step-by-step activation of plugins
/ superchache --> settings from the LAY-tutorial + all images are optimised (webp)
/ all unnecessary plugins & themes deleted / deactivated
/ different computers & browsers
/ analysed by Lighthouse in the hope of finding out why there is a very long initial server response time
/ checking the size of my wp-data in case there ist so kind of bloating/bouncing
I also have the feeling that it gets worse with the activation of woocomerce. The same applies to the backend of WP - sometimes I have a response time of 20-30 seconds.
What can I do to improve the performance of my pages?
I am very grateful for any help & tips
hugs
Yoshi
