Have you been to Dave Zan’s domain blog? Maybe you can get some ideas there.

Also, there’s been a huge debacle going on about Registerfly’s collapse.

The last time I had a slow problem, the firewall feature called “phishing filter” and “website filter” was causing it.

The update box wasn’t visible because I had the privacy on for testing.

Thanks Kaf.

Thanks a lot moshu, it was the Adhesive 3.2. The links are back.

ckieff, I’ve found by shutting off the anti-phishing and other website filters on my firewall does the trick.

My WordPress went from taking 90 seconds to load, down to about 2 seconds or less.

Thank you very much, that gives me a good selection to choose from.

OK thanks, 205 is working great.

It worked fine, thanks.

I don’t know if this may be one cause but a while back pingomatic took forever to complete (30-60 seconds). I have been using another update service and never had a problem since in slow loading.

Another cause of slowness used to be the dashboard so I have always disabled it.

There’s a thread on this a day or so ago. I just began with 1and1 so not an expert at all but you have to use FTP to upload and edit all your files. I use SmartFTP because it allows deleting of whole folders.

You can make directories under root to host separate websites, I think in the beginner plan, you can have something like 10 separate sites. These are separate from root. But for each domain you have to point the DNS to 1and1.

I assume the 1and1 blog feature is something separate from uploading WP in the root directory and running your own blog. I have several sites up on the 1and1 beginner plan, each in it’s own directory so essentially separate sites.

I use Smartftp to rapidly upload and bulk delete files so have no need of a web based control panel.

That gives me a very good idea, exactly what I was looking for. Yes, I know average is a big area, I didn’t know quite how to put it.

Thanks..knotty

Is your theme widgets enabled?

FIXED. Sorry my mistake!

In the instructions under do not delete, I did not delete the wp-includes.

Got confused here since it was listed under do not delete.

This happened to me when I upgraded by overwriting the files. I had to go back and delete the prescribed files and then FTP the new files.
