Used P3 Profiler and did a scan of a slow site. Now what?
Hi, I've updated all my plugins. Then I ran P3 Profiler and got results saying this. What can I do to help speed up the plugins, or is there anything?

Next question, are you available for hire to look at these issues?

Another issue I know we have is this: Your theme (Porto Child) contains outdated copies of some WooCommerce template files.
First problem is you're using CloudFlare.
Independent of myth + marketing hype + people talking about CF, which have never done testing.
CF doesn't provide any benefit for a well tuned LAMP Stack. It only adds complexity which makes debugging impossible... because any testing you do is testing CF, not your site.
First step, remove all traces of CF, so you're testing your site + not CF.
The WebPageTest Report for your site shows CF is running very slow today. The time to serve small files is way to high.
You'll have to remove CF to effect your site speed + then you'll also have to be running your site in an hosting environment which can be tuned.
About hiring me.
I only work on client sites I host. You can PM me to setup an appointment to talk about your project.
About WooCommerce Files.
Unfortunately the way WooCommerce works is cumbersome. Each time WooCommerce updates, you must manually update all WooCommerce files your theme uses + if these updates crash your theme or site, restore a backup.
Complex to handle.
I usually do this for clients, by backing up the site + updating WooCommerce theme files.
This usually works. If it fails, then there are many variations of what comes next to fix problems.
Each case is unique, especially when a non-WordPress.org theme is being used.

Note: The reason I only work on sites I host is because this is the only way I've found to have a starting point of 100% latest + stable LAMP Stack code.
No hosting company I've encountered to date, run up to date LAMP Stack code.
This initial step is essential for debugging problems, else days can be spent debugging some problem which has already been fixed via some software package update.
