High I/O and slow website on GoDaddy

  • I have been running my website https://www.thelogicalbuyer.com/ on GoDaddy Ultimate hosting.

    From last 4-5 days, my website has been running very slow and sometimes it takes 1 minute to load and sometimes connection time out.

    IO hits 1024/1024 every few hours. CPU usage is fine.

    Please note that even the wp-admin take time to load.

    I have tried every possible option available in forum like:
    – disabling all plugins
    – fine tuning DB
    – Security and scans etc etc

    GoDaddy says there is no issues with server and it’s my scripts issue only.

    Now I am stuck with this:

    Resource Usage Overview
    Your site has been limited within the past 24 hours
    CPU resources were limited for your site

    Your site might hit resource limits soon
    You had 1024 I/O usage out of 1024 max I/O usage allowed

    what version of wordpress are you on?
    what plugins do you have (active and inactive)?
    what theme are you using?

    Thread Starter Amitexpert

    (@amitexpert)

    WP Version: 4.3.1

    Theme : ColorMag Pro
    Akismet
    Autoptimize
    Google AdSense
    Google Analytics by Yoast
    iThemes Security
    Jetpack by WordPress.com
    MailChimp for WordPress Lite
    P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler)
    Redirection
    Shareaholic | share buttons, analytics, related content
    WP Super Cache
    Yoast SEO
    WP-Optimize

    WP Super Cache, P3, iThemes Security were installed after issue cropped up.

    Inactive : TablePress

    the first thing i’ve noticed is that you’ve got 4 different caching/optimising plugins on there and my guess would be that they’re all pulling at the same resources and working against each other. pick one, and ditch the others (WP Super Cache is usually fine for most applications of wordpress)

    the other issue might be the theme, have you tried switching back to the default wordpress theme to see if things speed up? if that makes a difference then you’ll need to go back to the theme’s developer and ask for help as it’s a commercial theme.

    1: Optimize websites in your GoDaddy Cpanel, that will speed up your site load.

    2: Add Heartbeat Control plugin, will speed up your dashboard.

    @questas_admin

    I have already enabled GoDaddy optimization. It is basically just the file compression.

    @jack,
    thanks, Are you suggestion I removed Autoptimize? P3 and WP-Optimize are in deactivated mode always and I used them to experiment only.

    jack randall

    (@theotherlebowski)

    if you’re not using a plugin or a theme then delete it, it may not be causing any problems but you never know. besides, cleaning house online is a good thing as it means your site size is smaller and smaller means faster

    Thread Starter Amitexpert

    (@amitexpert)

    @jack,

    thanks, just saw tha .trash folder is of 1 GB, cleaning up anything and everything that is useless. Will keep you posted here

    once again, thanks for the suggestions.

    Thread Starter Amitexpert

    one follow up question, because IO level is high, could it be because of logging. Should we not disable all logging?

    jack randall

    (@theotherlebowski)

    is the I/O load intermittent? you may be getting a brute force attack from somewhere… install wordfence and configure it and it will keep a record of who’s accessing your site and produce a list of blockable ip addresses etc that you can act on.

    Thread Starter Amitexpert

    (@amitexpert)

    Jack,

    Yes, it was intermittent earlier. But now I believe GoDaddy has limited the resources, so it is anyhow slow. But it still hits max IO.

    Nothing appears in Google Analytics though.

    Yesterday only I installed iThemes Security, i believe i need to disable it to use wordfence?

    jack randall

    (@theotherlebowski)

    iThemes Security makes significant changes to your database and other site files which can be problematic for existing WordPress sites. Again, we strongly recommended making a complete backup of your site before using this plugin. While problems are rare, most support requests involve the failure to make a proper backup before installation. DISCLAIMER: Under no circumstances do we release this plugin with any warranty, implied or otherwise. We cannot be held responsible for any damage that might arise from the use of this plugin.

    from the iThemes Security plugin page…

    this might actually be your problem…

    Thread Starter Amitexpert

    (@amitexpert)

    There are many 404 Error in logs of iThemes Security.

    Thread Starter Amitexpert

    (@amitexpert)

    Jack,

    I added iThemes Security only after this issue appeared. I installed this after I learned about brute force attack

    jack randall

    (@theotherlebowski)

    have you recently moved the site? or changed your permalink structure after it’s been one way for a while?

    Thread Starter Amitexpert

    (@amitexpert)

    No change from my side.

    What are the chances of GoDady doing this with purpose. The moment i called them up, they said, upgrade to level 3.

    Few weeks back, my site would redirect to itself intermittently, than also GoDaddy suggested something stupid, to get static IP. Without any change, it fixed automatically.
