store speed drop of 1o points without reason

[mimivoila]

Hello,

My store speed has dropped by 10 points in the last couple of days even after I deleted apps from my store. I have done anything that could explain this drop and customer support was not able to help. Any ideas of what could cause this issue?

well thanks for the infos but i am not a web developer so I have no idea of the fix the issue myself except by deleting apps from my store. And is that a normal thing for a store to become that slow without apparent reason?
