Hi, Everyone...

I have a new domain in my hosting account and I've already created a wordpress blog about Cars..
However this is the result of a speed test I have made a few minutes ago

size=71.36 KB Load Time=36.19
seconds average speed per KB=0.51 seconds

As you can see it takes a lot to upload.. Can anybody help me with this problem.
I need to solve this because I'm pretending to use the domain to create more blogs but with that speed I'm not so sure about continuing creating more blogs under that domain..

I will appreciate any help

A concise, prioritized plan that follows on from ’s suggestion to run an audit tool (good first step noted in the thread). Start by measuring with a modern lab and a real-user test so the biggest wins are obvious (PageSpeed / Lighthouse for quick diagnostics; WebPageTest for waterfalls and geolocation testing). (PageSpeed Insights · WebPageTest docs)

Key, high-impact actions (apply in this order and re-test after each change):

  • Fix server-side delivery: enable text compression (gzip or Brotli) and set long cache headers for static assets — these often give the largest immediate savings. (See MDN on compression and caching.) (Compression · Caching)
  • Reduce render-blocking resources: defer or async noncritical JavaScript, inline the critical CSS for the above-the-fold view, and combine/minify where practical.
  • Optimize images: compress, serve responsive sizes and convert to modern formats (WebP/AVIF) where supported; this frequently cuts page weight dramatically. (Lighthouse image guidance)
  • WordPress-specific: use a server-side page cache + object cache, remove unused plugins, keep PHP up to date, and consider a CDN for global visitors. Follow WordPress optimization guidance. (WordPress optimization)

Small, copy-paste examples that often help immediately:

Enable gzip and set expires (Apache/.htaccess):

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/css application/javascript application/json
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
  ExpiresActive On
  ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 30 days"
  ExpiresByType image/png  "access plus 30 days"
  ExpiresByType text/css   "access plus 7 days"
  ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 7 days"
</IfModule>

Defer a blocking script:

<script src="/assets/js/site.js" defer></script>

Recommended workflow: run an audit, implement the single change with the highest estimated savings (compression/caching/images), re-run the audit, then iterate on JS/CSS and hosting changes. If large improvements aren’t seen after these steps, host-level limits (shared hosting, CPU throttling, database performance) should be investigated next.

Get Firefox browser and the plugin YSlow. It will tell you exactly what is taking time on your page and suggest ways to fix it.

For example, it gives this page:
Grade F on Make fewer HTTP requests

This page has 40 external Javascript scripts. Try combining them into one.
This page has 3 external stylesheets. Try combining them into one.
This page has 14 external background images. Try combining them with CSS sprites.

And that's just one of 23 areas it rated.
