PHP Version 7.2, original plugins & images…
PHP Version 7.3… with ALL plugins disabled and no images (run current Pingdom test to see) is approx. 500ms of wait time. Almost a whole second is spent just loading the domain on its own, even with little to no content. See first reply below, since I apparently cannot post more than one image
I saw previously where someone else had the same problem… I noticed SQL issues were brought up, but the thread ended without a resolution. I have already gone through other threads here and followed the instructions from a support page that listed optimization recommendations. It helped a little, but did not fix the root of the issue apparently. Any thoughts on what I’m missing?
