    One of my WP site is loading... a dead or very slow url/ip..

    I have checked with gtmetrix

    and this thing makes my site load very slow:

    http:// 162.210.68.16/test.png


    what is it? what is the origin of it? Is it a plugin? an ad?

    I don't care if it dies.... that IP:

    http:// 162.210.68.16/test.png

    is not mine nor is allowed to be in my website... But it is being loaded.... how do I trace which plugin/ad is loading it in my site?

    The first thing to check for when WP is taking long to load is broken links/missing files etc....

    You might have used some insecure plugin that might have downloaded or injected malicious somewhere. I was not even able to see the url even load for ages. Without getting in to FTP files we can just guess what has happened but not trace the exact problem.

    stay well

    In WP you can try look for some malicious files, and another good try is deactivate all plugins to see if the probleme is solved... give it a try ;)

    Good luck

    It might due to
    data being pulled from external sites
    too many plugins installed & activated or de-activated
    too many images or images with higher size
    you can't rule-out the server issues as well

    Check for all the above & you might end up finding the culprit making ur site loading slow.

    If you still can't figure out yourself & need help , let me assist you.

    Thanks.

    The following is what I would do if I had a similar problem. Your mileage may vary.

    I assume that you have access to cpanel on your hosting company and ftp (like Filezilla). I will also assume that your theme and plugins are all available. I would bring up a "shadow" version of the site using a test folder.

    First install a new, blank WordPress installation in the test folder. Check the download speed. If it is the same or comparable to the original site, the problem is in the hosting.

    Then install the same theme in the test WordPress and test the download speed again. Install the same plugins from a clean source and check download speed as you go along.

    At some point you will have a near duplicate of the original site without the download problems.

    Then do a full backup of the original site using something like the Duplicator plugin so you can recover.

    To test for altered plugin PHP code - download the plugins from the test folder and move them back up to the running website. Same thing for the theme. It's just PHP code.

    The other option is to ftp the site to your desktop. Then use Notepad++ with a file search on all the PHP files looking for test.png.

    Good Luck
