Hello, 

I am building my wordpress site on this temp URL - http://leeisabumhole.info/ and it is extremely slow when moving page to page, does anyone have any tips on how I can fix this? 

Thanks

Hi @hcar45,

With just a cursory look, it appears you have some large images.  Have you optimized them?  If not, I would start with that.  I use a plugin called SMUSH and it does a great job.

Next step, go to https://gtmetrix.com and look at your site loading statistics. They will tell you what is slowing a page load down.  This may mean a bit of further optimization depending on how the "waterfall" is looking.

Hope this helps,
