Not sure what I'm doing wrong to optimize page load time.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some advice regarding why my page load speed doesn't appear to be changing much despite normal optimization tactics.

I'm currently running OceanWP premium theme on shared hosting from nixihost. I have autoptimize, wprocket, and cloudflare connected as a CDN.

Even with all of these plugins and a relatively fast loading them, my page load time seems to vary between 3-5 seconds.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong at this point, it seems like I've optimized everything correctly. I'll attach screenshots just in case someone can help me out.

Im mainly concerned with the expires headers and making fewer http requests. I thought the above plugins would surely take care of these.

Best,

Brad

Hello? 52 external scripts being loaded?

Your website speed is not really bad. To further investigate more about the speed, check the waterfall chart on the GTmetrix report.

Lol wtf 52 for real.

Combine them all into one file. WP Rocket can do this. You sure WP Rocket is optimized right? You should get a better cache score if it was.

Yes, everything is optimized on WPRocket but I'm using autoptimize for minification. I'm aware that there's a lot of external scripts, but I honestly have no idea how to combine them. Would notepad work for this, or would it be better to go through a plugin?
