Hi,
Im a newbie with woocommerce, im sure there are a lot of posts there, as i saw many of them, but not many of them were talking about the hosting.
To the point:
I have a ecommerce store with woocommerce + elementor pro.
Wordpress is hosted at [ifastnet.com](http://ifastnet.com), package: Premium Web Hosting (cPanel) – Super Premium.
I got my images optimized, im using minify css and jss, caching with cloudflare.
Im worried that my wp-admin panel is working very slow, about 6seconds for simple page to load, not talking about elementor pages that are loeading about 20seconds. This is really frustrating, beacuse store is still under development.
The gt-metrix shows now this:

But used to be like that:

The main problem seems to be excessive DOM files, but as i see there are listed 2 items, one for currency tag with 23 points, and other body.template-index with 32points. Total points are 2500, so optimizing every item is not available.
Idk what makes this page working slow af.
Plugins:
– wpforms lite, wp-optimize, woopayments, woocommerce, variation swatches, super page cache for cloudflare, querymonitor,premium addons for elementor, jetpack, google listings and ads, gogole analytics, ewww image optimizer, elementor, elementor pro, elementor geader and footer builder,checkout plugins stripe for woocommerce
Theme – astra
Should i move entire page to better hosting or keep this?

Run the site through Page Speed Insights. I know GT Metrix will show you what’s wrong too but I find Page Speed Insights lays it out more clearly. Regardless of what you read online, Elementor can be fast if used correctly. Woocommerce is pretty heavy but there is not too much you could do to avoid that. Are you using the Hello Theme? If so, that’s good. It’s extremely lightweight.
I’ve never heard of your hosting but they don’t list the RAM or CPU cores in your hosting plan, you really should have a dedicated plan with an e-commerce site.
Other than that, make sure to get rid of any unnecessary plugins, use a CDN, make sure your images are WebP, disable any elements you aren’t using and if your hero section has a background image, consider switching it so it doesn’t.
If you run it through page speed insights and post the link we could get better insight though.
Edit: just looked at your list of plugins. You should get rid of most of them. For example, there’s no need to have a form builder if you have elementor pro, you can just use their form builder. Also, I’d switch from Astra to the Hello Theme, it is a lot more light weight.
Ditch Jetpack. And Google Ads will slow down your sites.
