Chilli Plant's leaves

 
For some reason the leaves on my chilli plants have turned a sorry pale
green.
Some have yellow speackles on them. Does anyone know why this
would happen? Its
indoors on my window sil.

How many hours of direct sunlight does it get per day?

Spider mites?  They're also not likely to be getting enough light
but that wouldn't cause the speckles.

This will make the plant weak.  Also houses are typically too dry for
growing many plants.  A chilli is not an indoor plant which are typically
selected from those that grow in understory low light conditions.

The weakness will also make it more susceptible to diseases and attack by
insects and mites.  Chillis and capsicums are warm climate and warm season
plants that like full sun to do their best.  You don't say where you are so
I am guessing somewhat but you might do better to grow them as an annual
outdoors or at least in a sun-facing (away from the pole) window.
