website load speed: [toithuthuat.com](http://toithuthuat.com) is slow, do I have to worry about some plugins? Or because of an error I tested but did not know the remedies.

Hi,

GTmetrix have a tool that would help you diagnost your site.

> **[GTmetrix Performance Report: C (71%) / D (63%)](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/toithuthuat.com/B4JpmHH4)**
>
> Fully Loaded time: 19.2s, Total Page Size: 2.80MB, Requests: 118

According to the tool, your webserver might be slow, and you also need to do some cache work for your site.

Thank you

This result means you have a really horrible setup of WordPress… (Or you have a really limited hosting package)  
(I removed the hosting provider part because they seem to be fine. LiteSpeed Web Server + cPanel, and other sites are on good condition)

If there are such options on your cPanel, try changing PHP version to 7.0 (or higher) and enable PHP-FPM…(This should help with the performance)
