    My website http://lawnmowersandequipment.com had been running fine until 4 or 5 days ago, I have not changed the site at all, it is virtually impossible to view the site or use the backoffice properly. I went on to my site a couple of mornings ago and it worked absolutely fine, the problem does seem very erratic, although most of this week it has been impossible to use.

    I am based in the UK and my webmaster is in the USA, when we are talking on Skype, the pages load fine, yet here in the UK, or at least where I am, they will not load. My other WP websites run fine and are hosted with the same company, your help would be appreciated.

    Just a quick note to anyone who has had a slow running problem. The problem has now been solved, it turned out that it was an ISP problem my end, my Internet provider made some changes and the problem is now solved. I would never of thought it to be an ISP problem, due to the fact that I could view other websites with no problem at all.

    Your hosting provider's server not optimized for WP properly. You need to use hosting with NGNIX powered server with properly optimized mysql and apache. Very few hosting providers offer best solution for WP and Joomla. If you use ajax and plugins it will load slowly because of restricted memory resources under shared platform.

    Does using a different browser help at all? Are you able to view your website from a different physical location in the UK or DNS? You could try some US based proxy sites and see how things go from there..

    I'm curious if you still have this problem or not? Do you have any plug-ins or anything new that changed lately? Did the web host make any server changes?? Any running scripts or cron jobs?
