    My Site loads really slow. I performed a Google Page Speed Test and it says – your server responded in 4.1 seconds. At times its between 5 to 12 seconds. I brought this issue up with my hosting company and they sent me this email:

    We checked on the server logs and could find the following errors in the logs.

    2014-01-19 15:31:44 +0000 [info] killed thread_id:23832424 user:loudro_wp56ks host:localhost db:loudro_wp56ks command:Sleep time:18 query:
    2014-01-19 16:02:04 +0000 [info] killed thread_id:23838995 user:loudro_wp56ks host:localhost db:loudro_wp56ks command:Sleep time:20 query:
    +++++

    Please note that ‘loudro_wp56ks’ is exceeding the allowed execution time of 15 secs and hence the queries are being terminated in the server.
    We would request you to contact your developer for optimizing the database to increase the site speed.

    I am lost, can somebody please help me? I have a WordPress blog with plugins like W3 Total Cache, Autoptimize, WP Database Optimizer and WordPress SEO by Yoast.

  • on the problem side: a db query that takes longer then 15s is problematic. the actual sql query could help to identify which code (in core or a plugin) is at fault.

    on the solution side (but not root cause): W3 total cache comes with database caching (if I’m not mistaking), that might help? alternatively there’s https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/db-cache-reloaded-fix/ which does just that; caching db queries.

    Database caching was always enabled on my W3 Total Cache screen. I tried the DB Cache Reloaded fix plugin but it didn’t make a difference. The site load time is still quite high. What should I do now?

    post the query here? or alternatively disable each plugin one after the other, which could slow you to single out the culprit that way?

    Didn’t have the time to check on my website for the last two days. Anyways, I tried disabling the plugins one by one and used the Twenty Twelve theme, but the server response time is still quite high (about 4 seconds)

    My hosting company on an email said –
    ” I have checked the logs and could see that lot of your MySQL queries are getting killed as it takes more than 15 seconds to execute. Please note that all the MySQL queries, which take more than 15 seconds to execute will be killed automatically on our server.”

    As recommended earlier, please contact a WordPress expert or a developer and optimize the website code MySQL queries.

    I have already optimized the tables in PhpmyAdmin and have enabled Cloudflare. But, it doesn’t help either.

    My 2c; WordPress is no performance beast and can be db-intensive, but what you are seeing is not normal behavior. If a barebones, out-of-the-box WordPress install remains that slow and queries are taking that long, than in my point of view the problem is at the hoster level (with performance issues on MySQL).

    Please post a link.

    Hi guys, I took this issue up with my web hosting company. They had some issues with IP’s and have blocked them. The server response delay error is gone now!
