  My business website has been really slow the past 3 days. Is it because I have too many plugins/add-ons? This has never happened before and it just started recently. Occasionally, the website runs just fine until I update something within the admin page.

  What is the URL of the site with the problem?

  Your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted with GoDaddy.

  Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers. You can find more information here about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  https://wordpress.org/support/ is a great resource for sites using the open source WordPress.org software, and you can find support for that at: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  And, they do have some general recommendations for you at https://wordpress.org/support/article/optimization/

  Your hosting provider’s support team may also be able to assist.
