angeloL-6	Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link hidden link hidden link I expected to see: Fast website, this is the current setup: - Server: Kinsta business (100$/month) - Cloudflare CDN - WProcket installed - Flatsome theme (top selling on Envato) + WooCommerce Instead, I got: Extremely slow website especially when clicking on any language in the language switcher, takes seconds just to begin to load something after clicked. Then, when it begins to load, the page takes 10/15 secs to load. I know that cached pages load fast in my site, but, when not cached, it takes forever to load any page. And even if pages are cached the lang switcher still takes a lot of time to respond when clicked. Hope you can help me because I think hosting, theme, cache and CDN are not the cause of slowness in this site. Thank you

angeloL-6	Hi, I tested the website in a staging area with all plugins off except WPML and Woocommerce, it's faster but I can still see that pages load in 6 or 7 seconds, it's still too much. What can I do now? This is the address of my staging site: hidden link

angeloL-6	I'll add a screenshot, maybe it helps, I found out that there's a file taking quite 1 second to load in every page, maybe you know the reason. Thanks Schermata 2019-11-08 alle 12.25.38.png

Shekhar Bhandari Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kathmandu (GMT+05:45)	Hello there, Yes, I have those login details, The reason I asked to migrate was also to check if it's also due to server you are experiencing those performance issues, it's always better to check the performance on different servers. I hope this is OK and you can migrate the site. 🙂 Look forward to your reply. Thanks

angeloL-6	Hi, I have a problem with images, but that's ok, doesn't matter. Even without images I can see that loading time is quite high, as you can see from the attachment the TTFB of the main process requires about 5secs to load. Schermata 2019-11-13 alle 10.11.12.png

Raja Mohammed Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kolkata (GMT+05:30)	I have performed a few tests on your staging site. I have used to Query Monitor and Google Page speed tools for the tests 1) I have optimized the WPML string translation table from WPML > Support > troubleshooting page. After that, I don't see any slow queries from WPML anymore. I would recommend the same to be applied to your live site. - Goto WPML > Support > troubleshooting --- Click "Clear Cache with WPML" --- Remove ghost entries --- Clean up and Optimize String tables 2) I have subjected the Site to Google Page speed test hidden link With and Without WPML on the staging site. I could not see any huge or remarkable difference in page load time. ---Page Speed Index with WPML enabled: 4.4 s --- Page Speed Index with WPML disabled: 3.5 s Kindly check the attached screenshots The difference of 1s is expected since WPML requires some resources for its execution. However, according to the google page test, the difference doesn't make any huge difference and the speed ranking is preferably good. I would recommend performing Google Page speed test without WPML on your staging site follow the suggestions mentioned by Google. Once you have the right speed index Enable WPML, refresh the site and Subject the site to the Google page speed test again this will give you better results. Let me know if you still need further assistance. Kind regards Raja WPML_DISABLED.png WPML_ENABLED.png
