Why does my Wordpress site load so slow?
Just installed Wordpress functionality to my website. For some reason basic pages take 10+ seconds to load. I added the W3 Total Cache plugin but there wasn't really any noticeable improvement. I read that plug-ins may slow it down but I haven't added any. Any guidance would be helpful.

KeyCDN, CDN77, MaxCDN are my go to CDNs.
You might need one of them if you are serving large media files.
