I’m reaching out regarding the ongoing issue with the speed of my website. Despite diligently following the instructions provided by your team, including disabling certain settings and deactivating the CDN, the site continues to open at a sluggish pace.

While there was a brief period when it seemed to function properly, I’m uncertain whether my attempts to improve performance by installing and uninstalling elements may be exacerbating the problem.

I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter. Thank you for your attention to this concern.
