Check the latest Update

First of all, make sure that you have the latest version of MEC.

Note: MEC is compatible with PHP 7.0.x, 7.1.x and 5.6.x versions.

Regarding the low speed of your website, you can manage the resources that MEC includes in pages by using the Assets Per Page feature.

Deactivate all your plugins except MEC and let MEC remain active only, set your theme on default, then reload the page. If the issue was solved, then activate your plugins one by one and your theme, refresh your page, and check to see which plugin is causing the issue. Please let us know the results.

Checking the cURL

If the issue was caused by MEC, let us know. However, first, check whether the configuration of your WordPress is alright.

Also, you need to make sure that cURL is enabled in your website (contact your host provider to enable it for you)

If MEC was not faulty, contact your host provider for your website’s TTFB.

The GTmetrix Structure tab is where you can view specific issues affecting the performance of your site. This page is very useful because it provides you with actionable information like “eliminate render-blocking resources” and “minify CSS” to start optimizing your site.
