Why is my WordPress website slow?

Most slowness comes from a handful of repeat causes: unoptimised images, too many plugins doing work on every request, no object or page cache, a database that has never been cleaned, and hosting placed far from your visitors.

How do you measure performance?

Against Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) and server TTFB, monitored per site over time rather than as a one-off test score.
