Admin VERY slow since 3.1

Well, things suddenly improved yesterday. My (soon to be former) ISP host acknowledged that the problem was at their end, though they weren’t specific about the issue which led to the difficulties.

In the middle of the problem, the small provider I used asserted that the problems were caused by me, and that I should move my sites to a dedicated host. They generously provided me the name of an upstream provider who will provide everything needed to run the sites at about half the cost.

So, in part, the mystery remains as I don’t know exactly what went wrong, but in part I’m relieved that it wasn’t something I did to cause the problem. Of course, it will take a few weeks to rebuild the site!

My admin menu has also been painfully slow, and I don’t use multisite. I wish I never upgraded, because I don’t want to roll back a version and deal with more potential issues, but it now takes so long to get anything done on my site that I may have to roll back if a new version is not released soon to correct this mess!

Hi I don’t know if it is the wordpress 3.1 upgrade or the Suffusion upgrade because I think both have problem.
My admin. area is slow and the admin menu buttons on the left are all longer than usual and it intereferes when I am writing/typing; it extends half inch to the writing area. It’s so slow and somewhat frozen at times.. I don’t have multisite. My other one site is Okay.

Guys … same here. Not much of extra info to provide.
Site is fine. Admin pages painfully slow after 3.1 update.

Tried fast internet, disabling plugin, changing browser/os and what not!

I have disabled the admin menu but the admin is still painfully slow. I am running wordpress multi site 3.1.1 its a fresh install with a couple of wpmudev plugins. Is anyone else experiencing this slowness using wpmudev plugins?

bump.

Also, an idea for whoever has to debug this. Is it possi ble that the issue only exists on instances where the datbase and install are on different boxes

Bluehost and multisite here. Sites are very slow, I noticed some huge slow sql-querys in my tmp folder, I′ve repaire and optimized, delete some plugins. Nothing, keeps running slow.

Some times when I try to open the site from a third party, pingdom/tools for example, I get a message like “interrupted” or form iwebbtool: error.

I am also on 3.12 with multisite and the admin is very slow… 3-10 seconds per page load. Any solutions out there?

I have over 50 blogs and my multi-site has suddenly started to take about 2 mins to load each page in wp-admin. Front end loading fast. It’s unusable as it stands.

i found problem i think:

I tried the upgrade option but there wasn’t one available (just installed wordpress so already have the latest version).
I’ve noticed that the longer I work in the back-end (I’m setting up a site for a client, so need to create pages and posts and get everything sorted) the slower it gets. Disabling the admin bar and plug-ins doesn’t change anything.

I was hoping someone has found a solution by now…

Hi all,

I just wanted to weigh in here to say that after upgrading from 3.1.4 to 3.2.1 I was experiencing all of the same symptoms of the original poster.

• Using multi-site (only six sites in the network)
• My wp-admin was excruciatingly slow (1- 2 minutes to move between any pages, links or actions).
• I disabled all of my plugins with no improvement
• Installed wp super cache, no change after configuration and some movement through the site
• I found that the speed of the front-end of the site was fine

Finally tried reverting from my chosen premium theme Dynamix to Twenty-eleven and the back end speed immediately improved to seconds instead of minutes.

I even tried reverting back to the Dynamix theme just to be sure it wasn’t the super cache plugin kicking in. As soon as I turned Dynamix back on the admin side slowed to a halt again.

Hope this helps others.
