A lot of that report seems to be ad network related. But the bigger issue seems to be your Time to First Byte (TTFB).

It's 25 seconds when I tested it. That can't be right... right? Is that how long it takes for you to load it?

Something's very wrong. Either your server, or an external service that's hanging.

TTFB indicates how long it takes your server to generate and send the page.

The problem is going to be somewhere on your server.

Do you have a host you can ask? They might be able to figure it out if they are hands on. Otherwise, it's a little tricky.

Check the admin panel to see if there are any server errors logged. I'd also try turning off all add-ons first. See if that helps to start. If it does help, it's likely related to an addon. There's a disable all button in the Admin control panel for add-ons.

talked with host provider they said it the forum itself is having the problem. no issue from server side. no logs recorded in admin panel.

is this correct way for https redirection ?

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
    RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

disabled all addons. still problem exists.

Of course. It's a scripted, canned reply. Call center screens out questions exactly this way.

By the way, check it with a real world, legitimate tool. webpagetest.org.

Contacted host provider from past few days & they are pointing at the forum gtmetrix reports only & saying to optimize it.

My advice would be to find a new competent host with decent server performance.

They're always going to say it's not them. Might not be them. But they're always going to say it's not.

That terrible first byte time is the server. It can't be anything else. Brogan is correct, your host sucks.

Did you try turning off all addons?

It’s loading much faster for me now.

 

[Max Taxable]

Your host can't load 1 megabyte in less than 24 seconds. First 23 seconds is first byte time. Your problem is not xenforo, it is the host.

 

[Narayana Reddy]

yes but in few situations i am facing the issue.

yes its ok now. but now then i am facing the issue.
