Speed Up Divi WordPress Site

Job ID: 40466748

Budget: $30 – $250 AUD

I have a small business website that is sluggish and needs some optimisation.

The site had been running fast and without issues until we recently changed WP Engine Accounts (migrated) and since then things have been slow.

Pages are taking forever to load (don't fully resolve in the browser), plus when making edits in Wordpress back-end we are seeing timeout errors and lots of spinning wheels.......

I'm thinking it will just be a setting or possibly a plugin conflict causing the problem, but I''m not 100% sure. The hosting is still with WP Engine, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Tech Stack:

WP Engine
Wordpress
Divi Theme
Cloudflare (nothing was changed in Cloudflare, so unlikely to be the problem).
WP Rocket is being used which can often cause issues.
Nitro Pack within WP Engine has been downloaded, but is not active (maybe it should be).

I'm looking for someone to take a look at our current setup, diagnose any issues and fix them up so we have an optimal setup going forward.

I look forward to hearing from you.

NOTE: I'm in Melbourne, Australia and the website is located in Brisbane, Australia.
