    Hi Nicolai,

    I have done a performance test of your website at GTMetrix. Kindly see the report at https://gtmetrix.com/reports/igm.ac-8.com/6Pro5aUG/ I have these observations based on the report.

    • I do not see an HTTP request going to an AWS server in the 'Waterfall' tab of the report. Kindly provide more information about the request going to a third-party services hosted on AWS Cloud. 
    • Time to the first byte is 1.3 seconds which is more than what is considered normal. Higher TTFB is usually a function of the quality of hosting service. Looks like you are currently hosting with a provider in Chisinau. If the live version of your website would be hosted on a faster hosting provider, the performance of your website is likely to improve.
    • If you are not using a caching cum optimization plugin, kindly consider using one. You could try WP-Optimize if you do not have a preference. Kindly enable the CSS and JS minify options in your caching plugin
    • Your website makes 25 font requests and you seems to be using close to 10 different fonts. This is unusually high. Most websites use 2-3 fonts. Using Global Typography can help standardise font usage. Kindly delete the fonts which are not necessary for your website from the Brizy Font Manager. Ideally bring down the number of fonts to 2-3. 
    • Use https://tinypng.com/ to compress two of your images and reupload

    Once you implement these suggestions, kindly recheck the speed of your website.
