“Hey folks,
I’m facing some page speed loading issues with a simple HTML & CSS website. No heavy scripts, just basic design, but it still loads slow. Could it be hosting or something else I’m missing? Anyone else run into this with plain sites? Would love to hear what might be causing it and how to fix.”

it seems that this may be one cause (3 seconds delay before anything is seen). And you use GULP (Gross Ultra Long Page) that may take long time to load…
Explore the PageSpeed link and fix things based on their recommendation.
IMO, WordPress has the magic of “plugins”. One plugin delays and another speed it up. Be careful with your plugins…
Potential Causes of Slow Loading
-
Hosting Performance: testing your site’s response time using tools like GTmetrix or Pingdom
-
Unoptimized Assets: Large image files, even in small numbers, can significantly impact load times
-
Render-Blocking Resources: External CSS files can delay page rendering. consider inlining critical CSS.
-
Lack of Caching: Without proper caching headers, browsers fetch all resources anew on each visit.
-
Absence of Compression: If GZIP or Brotli compression isn’t enabled on your server, resource sizes remain large.
