Local Network/WordPress Conflict

  • I am having a strange issue with WordPress and need some advice. I am a HS Business Teacher and we are building our school website on WordPress. Everything was going good initially, and we had 6 users on our site at once with no problems. Suddenly last week, it started running inoperably slow on the back-end, with the pages timing out without even loading most of the time.

    I am convinced it is some kind of local issue, because I cannot replicate the problem on my home wireless network, and I contacted Bluehost about the issue and they could not replicate it on theirs either.

    Our School tech guy says that he can’t find any issues. No other sites seem to be operating that slowly, and he hasn’t made any changes in the timeframe that things starting going South. Any ideas on what he needs to look into to fix the problem, or if there is possibly something in WordPress that could be causing it. Load times are pretty much normal when I log into the admin panel from home.

    Also, our site is https://www.hopeksbiztech.com. It’s a work in progress with HS students who have no experience, so don’t judge the book by its cover. ??

    Check your email; I sent you some screenshots from Chrome Dev tools Audits. Let us know if you make any headway; I’m not familiar with local host troubleshooting.

    Turn off the cache software. Rewrite the htaccess to get rid of the cache entries. Should look something like this,

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    There is no need for caching software with a small site. WP works fine without it.
