I have a few sites which are exhibiting a slow load time. All are WordPress 3.5. All are hosted through BlueHost. All are developed by me (built as child-themes of existing WP themes).
Using Safari Developer tools, I see that they average 4รขยย6 seconds (not ms) of latency before anything happens, which appears to be abnormally high. I’ve tried to wrap my head around latency, and I know I’m not the only one to ask about it here … but I cannot figure out if the primary culprit is my hosting provider (Bluehost) or with my development.
Here are a couple of my sites with issues:

Chris, same problem here. Also with Bluehost + WordPress 3.5.
Some minutes ago, my sites even went down, and I was unable even to access cPanel. I received the following error:
I contacted the technical staff and they told me to try again, deleting cookies, and also sent me this url:
https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/481
Which, in my case, is of little help, but perhaps it can help you.
I asked them if there was any problem with the servers lately and they said nope, no issues.
So, to answer your question, I would:
Good luck!
