Is there a way to find what's the problem and how to fix it ?

hello,
I was always using external images and I was getting 1s Load time so I don't think the problem is from them

i'm also the same, and my page size is more than 5mb !
also 7 days ago was 1mb with the same images !

i think it maybe from the host i'm in, so i will move to VPS asap

Use http://gtmetrix.com to help you optimize your site. It's awesome and I've used it for over a year when it first launched in beta.
GTMetrix will also notice your using wordpress automatically and provide additional suggestions for you.

i use it but don't know how to apply it's instruction !

But they give noob proof step by step instructions with screenshots of what buttons you have to click.

Do not say you can't do it until you've tried it. Go spend a half hour following the suggestions and report back with what you got stuck on.

Thanks all for replies but I am using w3 total cache, tried disabling all plugins but nothing new.
to be more specific my problem is first byte time when loading the home page.
