My WordPress site takes forever to load.

  • Hi, there.
    I think I got some problems.
    I’m using AWS and made my website with WordPress with bitnami, also bought my domain from other provider.
    I finished my work and worked well on my macbook and even on mobile.
    But my website takes forever to load to others.
    I can only access to my website only on my home wifi network…!
    So nobody can access to my website with their own data plan or any other wifi network.
    What should I do solve this problem?
    Is there limit on any code, setting environment even or compatibility?
    Please help me…!

  • try pinging your site in the terminal and see how long it takes to respond.

    Also you can try checking if too many instances of apache are running. This make your site really slow and takes forever to load.

    This can be a result of DDOs attack. This happens all the time in standalone WordPress sites on AWS.

    There are several sites and tools you can use to test your site and see what your bottlenecks are.
    Google pagespeed will test and report on issues and tell you what to do, so would pingdom

    At time of writing, I couldn’t even connect to your site. Check with AWS on server statuses which, as mentioned, could be the result of DDoS.

    You mentioned that you can only access it from your internal home network… I’d check AWS settings if you set up some kind of “allow only a specific IP” and verify your domain nameservers to accurately reflect AWS’s

    Look at the waterfall for the file load requests: https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/efoMtH/https://funeralflower.org.uk/

    The total site load is 4.8 seconds when tested from Sweden, but there is a wait of 3.5 seconds for the server to make its initial response. That is where the issue lies. I would test first by disabling ALL plugins and activating a stock WordPress theme (e.g. twenty-seventeen). Then test again with https://tools.pingdom.com/. If the server is still slow to respond, talk to your host. If the server response is much quicker (e.g. under 1 second), then reactivate your plugins/theme one by one and test until you find what is slowing things down.
