My website speed is crazy slow and I got such a technical report... help?

I am so frustrated about my website speed and I don't know where to start so I got a free report online from a website called GT Metrix and I have NO idea what to do with that information.

I really get so irritated, all I want is for my website to work fast and it is just a blog.

Where do I start and what do I do or should I just try and get a service here? I am just so scared of giving anyone access to my website!

Please can anyone advise?

That is really interesting because i am currently thinking about hosting websites from my home. You are on a shared server and unfortunately others have websites being run of that same server. What does that mean exactly? the amount of traffic your getting probably doesn't change much but if other websites on that same server are getting slammed that means your website will run slower than normal. The only real option is to get a dedicated server but if your not making enough money then its not worth it. You don't need to give anyone access to your website because it has nothing to do with the website itself rather the server its being run on. I hope this helped you out and i also hope that you get the situation resolved.

It is on my sister's server? I am not sure that is the problem here Jkeyz2 because my website has been on her server since 2012 and I haven't always had this problem.

I have another 2 websites which are hosted at Wealthy Affiliate so that is a shared server but those websites aren't slow at all.

Well then that is a different issue is her network set up to give that machine priority? is it hard wired rather than wireless? Maybe its time to update the server? I mean it could be a bunch of reason you kind of have to go through them one by one to figure out whats going on for sure.

Oh I don't know any of those anwers!

I am like not very clued up when it comes to hosting but she has a web development company so I sincerely doubt she would mess me around with hosting.It has just come to a stage where I want to manage my own things and it is hard taking over not knowing exactly what has been done with my website.

My other websites I built myself on Wordpress from scratch so I know what I have done... if that makes sense. I am just so scared to touch anything!

I Honestly dont believe its anything to do with your code. Just to double check though check with our coders on the chat we have.

LOL well it seems everyone agrees it is my hosting! Sorry Jkeyz2, I really don't have a clue and that is why I have to ask.

I have also contacted a freelancer here for help with my problems and maybe he can also shed some light on this for me and give me some extra help.
