WordPress 4.3.1 still very slow

  • I read topics about wp 4.3 being slow because of a minor bug. I have the version 4.3.1 since a week now and it became slower and slower, and today none of my plugins can be installed. It tries to load but at the end it fails.
    It happened with bandcamp plugins, but also with the composer, mail chimp and twitter.

    Ok, but the biggest point is that everything takes ages in the dashboard, when clicking on any button the system hangs for some seconds and then display the page.

    I just build my website, I was not so far away in the designing process, so I could wipe everything out from my web server (hosted in One) and reinstall everything.
    So I reinstalled twice WP 4.3.1, still the same issue.

    I talked to my provider : They checked, no issue on their side.

    I thought it could be the template I bought, but even without any template the dashboard hangs like crazy.

    So now I try to downgrade to 4.2.5. We’ll see.

  • I am having same issues, backend of wordpress is now crashing.. and getting weird disconnected errors and publish to social networks in jetpack are having issues telling me to refresh .. about to scrap site Need help!! 4.3.1 has totally screwed my website!!! tried removing plugins.. no help.. really slow and fails to access sometimes… i have a 2cpu4gb ram server so that’s not the issue other services on server works fine..

    I’ve been having the same issue since 4.* but I can’t tell if it’s a database issue or a network issue but I believe it’s a network issue due to my service provider which is AT&T.

    I thought was Network issue at first, but it’s a hosted server on 10gb connected, and i am getting weird errors with jetpack telling me connection to facebook/twitter etc needs refreshing… very very odd behaviour atm..thinking about pissing wordpress off altogether and finding something else

    Well, I reinstalled my all website again. But in the process here’s what happened :

    1. When trying to install a theme (a theme I bought) through the dashboard I have a failure : Safari or Firefox hangs and then a white page is showing. Even waiting a long time doesn’t do anything.

    2. When trying to install plugins using the dashboard again : Same thing.

    3. This morning I tried to load a demo content of my theme using the wordpress import : Same thing, but letting this white page a long time actually made it happened.

    It looks like something is totally unstable or not working properly in the dashboard.
    It also takes ages when clicking on a link on the menu bar.

    If somebody with knowledge around it would be so kind to look at it, This would make my life bright and happy ?? No no, I am not a geek ??

    And more important perhaps : Is there a way to implement a status bar : Let’s say when you need to wait for something to happen : Like loading a plugin or a theme etc. Just to know if you have to wait or if the system is crashed. Because this white page on the browser looks like nothing happens and also like the operation has crashed. Which was not the case this morning when I loaded my demo content. I hope I was not to long in my explanations. Thanks ! And thanks to the wordpress guys, you’re doing a groovy work ! . Eric

    @ericchabane , Hi! Thank you for writing.

    Please try the following temporary steps to troubleshoot:

    • Switch to the Twenty Fifteen theme
    • Deactivate all of your plugins, no exceptions
    • Clear your browser’s cache and cookies
    • Re-login and visit the post editor

    Do you still get the everything-takes-ages problem when you do that?

    Let me know how you go!

    Having the same problem: slow dashboard.

    I thought the RSS Error might be the culprit. Searched: “WP HTTP Error: Resolving timed out after 10520 milliseconds,” which took me here:

    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/dashboard-issues-rss-error-wp-http-error-name-lookup-timed-out, where member ashiado says he solved the problem.

    ashiado: Finally SOLVED by installing the Core Control plugin and then following the directions here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/231500?replies=12#post-1168609

    Now go to this page and look for CarltonBale for directions.

    My dashboard is really fast after I get into it. Everything is fast except the Themes.

    Regards.

    This might also help: https://www.bestwpthemez.com/wordpress/case-study-rss-error-wp-http-error-name-lookup-timed-out-wordpress-blog-3461/

    I agree, my blog is also slower than ever. But it seems the cache or so cleans after a few page loads (both front and back-end).
    Edit: Now faster than ever.

    I just now “Disabled Transport” link in for CURL under the external HTTP access. Now everything is flying. Awesome!!

    +1 ?? even faster than before (but I didn’t touch curl)

    Good deal!!
