It’s slow because…

1. You are using resource intensive plugins like Elementor
2. You are loading a lot of CSS and JS files (Probably caused by #1)

How to run WP-Cron with InfinityFree Cron Jobs

WordPress needs to perform periodic tasks in the background, such as checking for updates and performing cleanups. This system is called WP-Cron. Out of the box, WordPress will execute these periodic tasks when someone opens the website.

Removing all unnecessary plugins and themes, and especially for sites like yours with little visitor counts, setup a cron job to run every hour. Also, disable automatic updates, and any other configurable things that run in the background.

Why would anyone perceive this as a threat?

Anyway, you might want to take up things in DMs with users that have theirs open for something unrelated to the topic (or use their contact form/email).

There is no problem of any kind, I am open to criticism and constructive comments from anyone, and if you are right in what you say, I am still working on the web. Thank you!!!
