Slow Loading Website

Hi there,

I’m having problems with this website taking 20-40 seconds to load:

*Login to see link

I’ve optimised it using W3 caching plugin, plus Leverage Browser Caching Ninja plugin and have optimised images using EWWW imagoe optimiser. After doing these things, it’s actually got a good rating for page load speed on GT Metrix – see here:

*Login to see link

However, as you can see from their report, the page size is really large and it’s taking much longer than it should to load.

The host says it’s nothing server side, so I’m a bit stumped.

Is there anything theme related or any way I’ve presented the site that could be causing this slow load?

Here’s the custom CSS I’ve used within custom CSS box.

.boxed #wrapper.container {
-webkit-box-shadow: none !important;
box-shadow: none !important;
}

.ktslider_home_hidetop {
margin-top: 3px;
}

.topbarmenu ul li a {
font-size: 16px;
color: #908c8c;
}

.topbar-widget {
font-family: Alegreya;
font-size: 16px;
}

a.sf-with-ul:after {
content: “e3b6″;
font-family: virtue_icons;
speak: none;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
font-variant: normal;
text-transform: none;
line-height: 1;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}

#topbar-search .form-search ::-webkit-input-placeholder {color: #908c8c;}
#topbar-search .form-search :-moz-placeholder {color: #908c8c;}
#topbar-search .form-search ::-moz-placeholder {color: #908c8c; opacity: 1;}
#topbar-search .form-search :-ms-input-placeholder {color:#908c8c;}
#topbar-search #searchsubmit {color:#908c8c;}
#topbar-search input[type=”text”] {color:#908c8c;}

.kad-slider .kad-slider-btn {
font-size: 28px;
}

.wpcf7-form p input, .wpcf7-form p textarea{

font-size:larger;
background-color:#f2f1f1;
color:#000055;
border-left-color:#32849c;
border-top-color :#32849c;
border-bottom-color:#bbbbff;
border-right-color:#bbbbff;
padding:2px;
}

.virtue_social_widget a i {
font-size: 50px;
line-height: 70px;
}

#containerfooter h3 {
font-size: 30px;
}

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Steve
