2.6 Causing Slow Loading?

    I installed 2.6 the other day and ever since, my blog has been taking 30-60 seconds to load… on the site itself and in the WP admin. pages.

    Is there something going on that I need to change? I tried deactivating all plugins and that didn’t seem to matter.

    Can someone help me on this? I’ve read other forum enquiries and they deal with specific plugins – none of which I am using.

    I even tried the turbo link at the top right of the admin. pages, and installed Google Gears – that didn’t help anything. I even have my provider looking into this.

    Could you please let me know what you think this is all about?

    Thank you.

  • I’m also having this issue. How can this be resolved if it’s not fixed ??

    I am having the same issue with 2.5 and I know its not the server because all the other sites on my box are loading very quickly. Its just this one wordpress site! HELP!

    I have been diagnosing a problem with the same issues as this using 1&1 (1and1.com) as the web host. I am happy to announce that I do not think that this is a web host issue, be it 1&1, Go Daddy or Dreamhost.

    From my findings, stopping the site totally through htaccess deny from all, allowing just me, then the site loads in a few seconds compared to sometimes a minute.

    Turning the site on again makes everything run slowly.

    Doing a wget, running php locally via shell and other testing, it seems that the main page works ok (ish), only then going to an article from the main page takes the very long time. part of the article loads, showing the “by Kelly” and normal page headers, then the clock starts ticking, then the article is shown :

    https://www.taxgirl.com/ask-the-taxgirl-who-owns-the-us-federal-debt/

    So the actual query to get the article is what is taking a long time. This server is set to a 60 second timeout, which I think may be been hit, however the article is still showing correctly.

    Assuming that things work with just one user on the site ok ish, then this would make me think that with multiple users the tables are locked somehow for a read, or for logging of the browsers access, until the time out is reached and the site shows ok.

    The mysql server does not show slow queries that would represent the normal page accesses, though it does show for a query that seems to be finding linked articles to the current article by some scoring method.

    I am very lost currently, any advice will be appreciated.

    WP 2.6.2

    WordPress 2.6.2 loads fast for me with my two sites. If it’s a problem with your web host’s database server, then testing a static, non-database driven site cannot rule out web host problems.

    How is this issue resolved? Many people have complained about slow loading times….

    I am also having this issue. It is driving me nuts! Obviously it is not resolved.

    I am having a similar issue. Speed isn’t the problem, but my host keeps telling me I am using too many resources and now (after months of this) has finally told me they think WordPress is the culprit. I have many WP sites on a simulated VPS account. I’ve removed as much stuff as I think I can, but I’m still apparently using too much PHP (sometimes as much as 16% when they want me at 1%). I have installed WP-Super-Cache on the biggest sites. None of the sites have a large visitorship. The largest has the cache plugin. So while it’s better than it was it’s still not how they want it. I’m getting very frustrated with this, I don’t know what else to do. This started for me about the time I would have upgraded to 2.6, too. For the largest site I am now running the newest version, 2.6.3.

    I agree that this thread is NOT resolved.

    bump?

    I’ve noticed the same thing and believe the issue is that scripts (including admin pages) are exceeding the memory allotment (16 MB) for my budget account. I’m upgrading my host to see if that addresses the problem. You host’s tech support should be able to check and see if that’s an issue for you.

    I’m having the same problem, running WP 2.7, Thesis theme V 1.3.3

    I had just added a new plugin, OIO publisher (ad manager), and I saw that it was listed in the files in the CPU exceed log, so I deleted it.

    But it looks like it’s happening to others who don’t have OIO. Someone told me that indexes for the database are needed??

    Help!

    How is this ‘resolved’? I am now having the same problem with a WPMU setup. Started a week ago for no apparent reason and I’ve searched everywhere for an answer. All threads seem to just peter out. Has anybody got an answer to this problem?

    jimbocook, any update?

    I am now running 2.7 on everything and have even closed down some WordPress sites but it’s still not any better. I am not using any plugins that should cause a strain or anything I don’t need. I have installed the Super Cache plugin on every site.

    Like derekmarkham, I also had the indexes thing mentioned to me but I’m not only a WP dev, but can’t really do extensive PHP not to mention that later just upgrading WordPress would probably revert all those changes.

    I agree, this is NOT a resolved issue.

    Jimbocook, I don’t think it’s a memory issue. I have 256Mb allocated to Mysql and no limit to PHP and still get the same problem.

    The problem is totally random. I can open a blog in seconds three or four times in a row and the next time it will take 60 seconds. Newly created blogs with no plugins used and the default theme might load in 3 seconds or they might load in 60 seconds. Exactly the same as those with plugins and themes.

    When the long load is encountered it always shows the page in around 59.5 to 60.5 seconds which leads me to believe that PHP is serving the page when it hits a timeout and is trapped in some kind of ‘loop’ before this. Surely someone from www.remarpro.com must be able to give some clues as to what might be happening or do none of them read these forums?

    I am experiencing this same issue as of yesterday afternoon. I have made no php or add-on changes in the past couple of weeks now so this problem is completely out of the blue.

    Speed testing shows an average 30 second time to first byte (TTFB). Yesterday I was getting constant timeouts and was unable to access the admin panel, but it’s marginally better today. I have tried not only disabling all of my add-ons but deleting them as well, but to no avail. Using the default theme also made no difference. GoDaddy tells me it’s not a problem on their end, and I suspect they’re right. My forums, using the same SQL database, run as quickly as ever.

    I’ve now discovered that the delay that I’m experiencing is due to a PHP timeout that occurs when the function init() is called from (I think ) wp-settings.php. It seems that the entire page is created first (which takes seconds) before the page is rendered by calling init(). At this point PHP hangs and waits for a timeout before serving the page (which may have been created 60 seconds ago).

    I’m running WPMU so it might be different with WP but that seems to be the problem. My max_input_time in php.ini is set to 60. If you are experiencing a 30 second delay check to see if yours is set to 30.

    Having said that I have no idea why this is happening. My WPMU is on a dedicated server that also runs a large forum so is similar to dannyinternets and I wonder whether there is some sort of clash when the forum uses PHP or MySql at the same time as WPMU?
