After install, ridiculously slow load time — possible causes?

  • We have a website. Then some friends made a WordPress version of it, at a different location. We love it! Then we tried to move that to where our current site is. Suddenly the load time for the WordPress pages is absurd — more than a minute.

    When we evaluate the load times with tools such as gtmetrix.com we see delays coming only from the core page, not from separate calls to images and the like.

    What might be wrong? Are we still referring to resources on the remote test server or something? If someone could give us some tips on troubleshooting this situation, that would be great. Thanks in advance!

  • This report (gtmetrix) shows page load time as 3 seconds only. But how did you come to the conclusion that the delays come only from the core page? Which page (or pages?) is that?

    Thank you for your remarks!

    I wish I could get the front page to load so fast as that!

    I’m no expert with gtmetrix but it seemed to me like the big delay, when there is one (not sure why you didn’t see one), was for the root page:
    https://www.progress.org/wordpress/
    and not for any of the assorted calls made from there to images, etc., all of which seemed to load quickly.

    Unfortunately, no matter what gtmetrix says, the page itself is ridiculously slow, and all the actions we’ve taken so far have not helped.

    I wish I could get the front page to load so fast as that!

    Which one? www.progress.org?
    Here is the report that says it loads in 1.60s

    Are you using any caching plugins? If not try one.
