Slow Page Load Times - Please Advise

[Zens77]

Since yesterday, my new website has started dramatically fluctuating in speed and is mostly loading extremely slowly. I thought it was casued from using an app for color blocks that is no longer supported by Weebly. I removed the app and the color blocks, but that did not fix the issue. 

Webtest: https://www.webpagetest.org/result/190305_WY_1b54bc5a9caef837cbeedd1de1735189/ 

URL: www.theeightoneseven.com 

Theme: Haberdasher 

As I was writing this, with no changes to my site, the speed went back to normal. Then, 10 minutes later, it's back to a crawl. 

Here is what I have done so far to try and fix it:

1. Removed the Color Block app that was no longer Weebly supported

2. Removed the Google Analytics and Webmaster scripts in the header. (It changed nothing, so l put them back in.) 

3. Reapplied the original theme to remove my customized pieces in the HTML/CSS (also did not change anything, so reapplied my own again.)

Honestly, I'm so early in the process with this site I can't figure out what changed or is happening. I've done 5 other sites in Weebly over the years and didn't run into this issue, but I wasn't doing a blog style theme either. 

Please advise where I am messing this up? Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't see anything that jumps out that would cause a slow load time.. how much time was between your three test attempts and are you still on the Weebly theme or did you revert back to your custom theme?

Hi Bernadette - Adam was able to help me solve this in another thread. I was using a Waddon's app for Bloggon Cards that was causing serious lags in the loading. Apparenly, Waddon's was experiencing some type of server issue. Once I removed that app my website went back to loading as normal. As this is not the first time I've had concerns with what the Waddon's app was doing to my load times I will not be using it in the future. 

Also, your customer service team was very quick to respond via email as well, which is why I like using Weebly. Thank you for your help!
