Check with your hosting provider
to see what kind of package you
have. A shared hosting account
often involves sharing server space
with dozens of other companies
where website speed is getting
slowed down by the number of
people using the servers. It's better
to consider a dedicated plan where
you have sole access to the server.

To begin with you should check the exact speed of your website you can use Google PageSpeed or GTmetrix for example. I supporse that your website speed could be slowed down with three reasons.

Images on your site may be weighing high.

CSS, HTML and Java script can be cause slowness. It can be minimized using various minimizing tools.

File in original format. Implement Gzip compression because compressed files download and transfer to a web browser much faster.
