In addition to the slow loading, I was having problems updating plugins. Site kept going into maintenance mode, which you had previously advised was a problem on the hosting end. Call GoDaddy and they said there was malware. Put a ticket in and that was cleaned out. They also said the htaccess file was huge, but that would be fixed in the malware cleanup. (I think)

I added the smush plugin and decreased my image sizes by 5.6 MB’s (!) after running that.

BUT the site is loading painfully slow, and when I ran GTmetrix I’m getting:
– an F for Leverage browser caching
– and E for Avoid CSS @import
– a D for Defer parsing of JavaScript
– a D for Specify a Vary: Accept-Encoding header

I could use your guidance. Thank you
