Website slow going…

[ad_1]

Ok so I know this is a popular problem but I’m going crazy with this. I’m somewhat new to freelance website design. I’ve built a very basic site using Divi (1 pager) I’ve installed WP Optimize but it feels as though ever since I purged all the page caching my site is going even slower than it was before? I’m using Bluehost as my hosting provider, I’ve chatted to them several times, they’ve said they’ve made a few tweaks and maybe I should check my image sizes (there are 4 images all circa 250kb so shouldn’t be an issue there. When I run the site through [https://gtmetrix.com/](https://gtmetrix.com/) the two main issues I get are server response time and chaining initial requests. Does anyone have any ideas on what more I can do? My site is taking almost 21 seconds to load which is obviously wayyy too long!
