My main site loads fine, but the wordpress blog has gone MEGA slow. Nothing has been changed so am stumped. Just wondered if anyone had any ideas? Paulie
Hay, Have you checked version of your Wordpress. I think older version got some issue with that, otherwise your hosting may have some issue in it.
Are you sure? What host are you using right now and what type of hosting is it? If it is GoDaddy, and you got one of their stock emails saying "there is nothing wrong on our end" messages, it is bullshyte.
Lol i dont use GoDaddy Im on a VPS. The reason i say its not my hosting, is because if it was, my other sites on the server would not run at normal speed? Also, the site that is having the problem, its only the wordpress blog with issues, the main part of the site is loading as per normal. Paulie
Could be the database server, maybe. Do you have any other WordPress installations, and are they running fine?
Cheers Dodger, You've got me one stage nearer i think. There is one other wordpress.org based site on the server and that has also gone mega slow. When you say database server....?
The database server is separate from your hosting server. It is probably a MySQL database server and this holds all of the tables for your posts, users, options, etc. The Php files on the web server makes database queries to the MySQL server. If it is slow in reacting then your pages are summarily slow to deliver. Check with your hosting to see if they have any problems on that end. You can get the database host Uri from your wp-config.php file (that and the login information), they may or may not need to know that Uri to track down any problems.
Thanks for the info. Ill ask and see how i get on. Fingers crossed....... Thanks again Dodger. Appreciate the replies. Paulie Edit: Hosts said its not possible database is on diff server, so im stumped again.
No problem. Just looking at the common denominators, which are database or hosting. Unless your blogs are wired the same (themes, plugins, number of posts, etc.)?
Of course the database is on a different server. Or did they say "databases" are on different "servers". Still, that is not a satisfactory response in my opinion. Doesn't sound like they bothered to investigate whether a problem exists or not. I would call them ont that, and ask them to check both the hosting and database environments to see if there are any problems. If they don't, then heck, may want to consider switching hosts (and you can let them know that too). We will fill a few forums up with how lousy their service is, and maybe that will get their attention!
So where is your MySQL database? Can you access it via phpMyAdmin and check the error logs? May want to check your hosting error logs too. If there is anything ugly going on, they will show up in the logs.
I cant see anything though i wouldnt know what i was looking for. Just random how for months there has been no probs, then the blog part of the wordpress.org site goes mega slow.
could you rooted to your VPS? just run this command (if you are on Linux), then take a screen shot and see what kind of process that eat much % resource (CPU). Usually, (on unoptimized WordPress blog) the PHP & MySQL process will eat much more CPU resource. open your ssh console, type and then hit "enter"
