Website is really slow

13 years ago

Try adding these:

Use Google Libraries
Allows your site to use common javascript libraries from Google's AJAX Libraries CDN, rather than from WordPress's own copies.

WP-Optimize
This plugin helps you to keep your database clean by removing post revisions and spams in a blaze. allows you to rename your admin name also. Additionally it allows you to run optimize command on your wordpress core tables (use with caution).

WP Smush.it
Reduce image file sizes and improve performance using the Smush.it API within WordPress.

Also. Delete any plugins you are not using.

This has nothing to do with speed but I would also recommend you use wordpress SEO by Yoast. I used to use the all in one SEO and worked great but this one has so many better features and since using it my sites has got a lot more traffic.

I installed those plug ins but according to WebPagetest .org my page is even slower although the wordpress panel seems to be a bit faster but not great. Could it be godaddy or the theme thesis?

I just see at the new google pagespeed ihsights tool it might got something to do with thumb.php ... ? Any idea?

Disable all plugins first, then run a bare Wordpress site. Also, try switching the theme to the default. If it just loads and loads without anything running on it, sounds like a choked sql server.

Even with all the plugins disabled (besides contact form or so) it's still running slow. I also tried the theme twenty eleven but no improvements. I try to contact godaddy about this...

Thanks for helping!

With everything disabled & running the default theme, there shouldn't be any lag. Most certainly sounds like a sql/hosting issue. Would you mind PM'ing me the domain?

Thanks

  Place a simple html file on the root dir and see how fast that loads. The shared host server might be having problems too, on top of your loaded wordpress.

Have you heard of Cloudflare? Try out the free service, my website has definitely increased in load times.

It may not all be down to your site. Have you had a reply back from godaddy yet?

My site was acting up a bit, so I installed 'P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler)' to see if it was because of any of my plugins. But everything seemed ok so I sent them a message letting them know and they said that they where having problems and every thing should hopefully be fixed soon (they couldn't say when though).

Thanks

When I was in your situation a few years ago, I took my slow site to my to the cloud, via Rackspace, and built my own dedicated server. It cost about 40 bucks a month, and took 2 months to grok a few concepts... but it was worth it. I was able to install APC -- a godsend--and it sped up the page load times to less than 1 second.

Wordpress, like the rest of the CMS's out there, use a tremendous amount of resources to display a single page. If you are on a shared server, it will allocate only a certain amount of resources to run the script. There is no way around this, and VPS's are much much worse-- been there, done that. If you are on a tight budget and keep it on a shared server, the best you can do is install yet another plugin called WP Super Cache, enable it, and hope for the best.

You can try clearing the cache. There is a plugin that speeds up your wordpress site also. Cant recall the name. A simple google search would be sufficient.

Have you tried MaxCDN or cloudflare both services will surely double your site loading speed

I think it is a plugin issue.

Deactivate all plugins and see if your website starts loading faster.
if no -----> hosting issue.
if yes try activating plugins one by one and test the site speed again.
That way you'll find what plugin is causing the slowness.
