Wow your website is extremely slow! That took more than 30-40 seconds to load up... So for sure many people will give up before waiting that long... Once I got there and being blunt about it:

1) The website theme, layout is very basic. It almost completely lacks any graphics and sorry to say does not look appealing from first impressions... You can easily fix that with using a professional theme which does not cost much these days... Just realized that a lot of your items have not loaded correctly hence the display does not look right from my end...

2) You have incorrect code on your webpage e.g. hyperlink not implemented properly with the actual code displayed to users...

It's too painful to sit and wait with attempting to navigate through your different posts given the extremely long time it takes to load... Hence my biggest recommendation is for you to move webhosts ASAP!!!

Best of luck with your project and keep at it with the 90 day challenge ;-)

Damn I've litterally just upgraded to a VPS at bluehost to speedup my site. I thought my home internet had a problem. That is not good.

Wooooaaah... I use Bluehost for some of my sites and never had that problem even on the lowest tier with shared hosting - so I'm really surprised to hear you're on VPS...

You must be running into some kind of server configuration problem... Are you using website caching? I've seen that cause problems on certain sites which are not compatible.... Also you may be referencing remote scripts which is causing the delay as loading is synchronous... You could try and place your javascript references at the end of your html file... That one simple change for me has massively increased performance...

Another thing check your server logs... especially for errors... and of course contact bluehost support....

I recommend you test your site on various website performance tests that you can find online as that may give you some clues i.e. here.

Yea seams the host is just as amazing as ever it's the plugins that were maxing out the server. They sorted it in moments.

Just contacted the host it seams my site was being compromised by one or more plugins so had to deactivate most of them. Any other thoughts would be very welcome.

I went to review your website and it is still trying to load after 60 seconds... it finally came up. After that initial load it went quicker, but you definitely need to get that fixed.
