What should I do to speed this website up?

[ad_1]

Currently using a shared hosting plan with dreamhost.

Super small site (5 pages) with about 20-25 images including the gallery page.

Currently using wp super cache, smush, and other plugins.

When I try to pull up the site initially ok my phone it will take like 5 seconds to load, which seems forever. Once it loads the homepage, the other pages load quickly when I click them.

Any ideas on what to do? My first thought is to manually compress all of the images

  1. If your content is mostly static, [Cloudflare Super Page cache]) will be the best solution without upgrading your hosting. It basically serves static versions of your site from the CDN, including HTML pages. I’ve gotten TTFB under 50ms on some sites.

    It’s free. You’ll want to disable your server-side caching, however.

    If you want to share the domain, I can run a speed test and make more specific recommendations. For example, you could have javascript that is blocking the page load.
