  • Who is your host? If it's not a commercial/business grade host, 6 seconds actually isn't that bad. Even most business class hosts take a couple seconds without the help of a CDN, or caching of some sort. – joshrathke Aug 12 '13 at 18:33
  • Thanks for the reply, My host is one.com. Still it takes like the full 7.5 sec to load the page, that's way to long. I have other wordpress sites that load alot faster also on one.com. – Kristof De Craecker Aug 13 '13 at 14:15

Can you enable Gzip?

According to the Google PageSpeed browser extension, enabling gzip would reduce file size (of the plain text files which can be compressed) by 74%.

Also, try consolidating external resources (CSS and JS) to reduce HTTP requests. More info from the Yahoo Developer Network

Along the same lines, I like to utilize jQuery from the Google CDN (with a local fallback) as this increases the chances of it being cached, and your Google Webfont requests should likely be consolidated.

I also usually use a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache to speed things up a bit.
