I forgot attach a screenshot of the gmetrix results.

As you can see, the load time is about 8 seconds :S
NOTE: I use http://www.educa.net/?abc in order to NOT CACHE, because if not, the results displayed are from the cached page.
my page load time is 5.49s (pagespeed Grade 83%, Yslow grade 73%)
not sure if this is a good result.
I am also looking for methods to improve pagespeed
Hi,
you’ve got a lot of plugins in your site. Please check for example with this plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/p3-profiler/ which plugin slow down your side.
Then I would reflect if I need all plugins realy….
Hi @nolls , thanks for your answer. I’ll use this plugin to check all plugins of my site.
Best regards, Daniel
@bergblume I think 5 seconds is much time in the web. Time is gold!
I hope we find a solution…
In addition to the above suggestions – you can switch to a WP theme like 2013 and see if the site loads quicker. If so, then you know the main bottleneck is the vibe theme.
Hi @shanebp , I did that, and the site loaded quickly, but buddypress was not being loaded neither, so it does not mean that activating the theme, the problem is in the theme, it can be in buddypress too, because it’s integrated in vibe theme…
These are the results of the first scan:

BuddyPress if one of the plugin which most ralentize the load time…
>because it’s integrated in vibe theme
BP doesn’t need to be integrated into a theme.
Install BP separately and test with a standard WP theme.
Then you’ll get more info re whether the bottleneck is your server or BP or…
@shanebp Yes, you’re right
Front page is also 2.4MB, uncached.
For example, it loads http://www.educa.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Portada.jpg (452 KB) and https://s.ytimg.com/yts/jsbin/html5player-en_GB-vflO2CBMB/html5player.js (310 KB for JS!!) and http://www.educa.net/wp-content/themes/wplms-educa/images/insignia_profesor.jpg (259 KB) and http://www.educa.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/gerardo_.png (233 KB).
If you got rid of those, you will half the size of the front page load, and everything will be faster. You can then look into other popular pages and see if there are any easy things you can do like this to make things faster before worrying specifically about the code’s performance.
Hi garciasanchezdani.
Great site dude, I can see you spent a lot of time on this…Great!!
Like Paul said 2.4 megs for a home page, Phew thats huge.
Also 117 requests, also way to many.
Try use http://www.jpegmini.com/main/shrink_photo to compress “all” your jpeg images
And https://tinypng.com/ to compress all your png images
they are both free to use or you can sign up and buy ( sorry I’m not promoting them, I use them for all my sites)
Also add the following to the begining of your htaccess file…before the wordpress code; and it should help with some of your Yslow speeds.

I would try as far as possible to keep my pages down below 600k
and request to less than 50
Hi all, thanks very much for your good tips.
I just optimized images using compresspng.com and compressjpeg.com ( thanks for your links @electromagnetic ) and now the page size is 1.2 mb
But, for example, If I do a test with the page http://www.educa.net/politica-cookies-educa-net/?abc
the page size is 644,9 kb, with 75 request, and the time load is 6,90 s ( tested with http://tools.pingdom.com/ ) … so this says me that maybe there’s another issue…….
