Slow response and time-out errors often

Hello,

Can you please let me know if anything can be done to improve the server stability or other issues I'm having? My server is often slow to load pages (tried several computers in different locations, and using different ISP's).

Server went down recently (I have not been monitoring this closely) - https://swiftdesign.co.nz/status/

Hello SwiftDesignNZ,

Thank you for your question regarding slow response and timeout errors. I am not seeing any major issues with your Ping, or Traceroute.

Typically, optimizing your site will address major load speed problems. When I tested your site with the free GTMetrix tool it also advises to "Enable gzip compression" and "Defer parsing of JavaScript."

Thank you,

John-Paul
