Hello,

Thank you for your question regarding slow website load times. I reviewed your site with the free GTMetrix tool, and the delay is caused by javascript being parsed in the beginning of your site coding. When javascript begins to load, it will not proceed to the next line of your site until it parses. The following files specifically are causing the delay (I marked out your domain for security purposes):
http://*****.com/wp-content/themes/bone/js/md-scripts.js (135.8KiB)
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js (85.7KiB)
http://*****.com/ (2.9KiB of inline JavaScript)
http://*****.com/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/js/jquery.lazyloadxt.min.js (2.5KiB)
http://*****.com/wp-includes/js/wp-embed.min.js (1.2KiB)
http://*****.com/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/js/jquery.lazyloadxt.srcset.min.js (1.2KiB)
http://*****.com/wp-content/plugins/uk-cookie-consent/assets/js/uk-cookie-consent-js.js (1.1KiB)
http://*****.com/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/js/jquery.lazyloadxt.extend.js (358B)

Thank you,
