SLOW loading of both back and front ends.

  • I’ve been experiencing this problem for a while –about 4 months now–but it has gotten significantly worse osince WP 4.0 and above. Simply put, my WordPress sites, (I manage 7 different sites) are loading at an agonizingly slow pace….like pages timing out 3-4 times before finally appearing slow. I have disabled plugins and tried different themes, and I clear my broswer cache constantly, but nothing seems to help. It’s not my Internet connection–everything else loads fine.

    I am hosting everything on a shared server with GoDaddy and thinking maybe their servers could be slowing me down. But they say no, and I hate to move everything to another host only to find out they were right.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Could be your host, but you might want to check your plugins. You can check to see which plugins might be slowing your sites with this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/p3-profiler/

    I just saw this plugin while I was searching for the link to the other one I shared– https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/plugin-profiler/

    Its only days old, but looks interesting.

    Thanks for the tip, Bet. I ran the first one and my plugins are only taking .933 seconds to load, to that’s not it. I am beginning to think it is a hosting issue combined with a very bad Internet connection. I am switching Internet providers this week (ditching Comcast’s new Xfinity–which is so unreliable it might as well be dial-up– for Uverse.) Hoping for a little bit of help there. If that doesn’t work and no one else has any suggestions I guess I’ll switch hosts and see.

    This online tool can help you figure out if it’s hosting or your connection: https://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/

    A good goal would be do have your site load in less than 3 seconds.
