  • Hi @andisman,

    The xmlrpc.php is being used to connect different other functions via API with your WordPress installation (example is sending posts by mobile app to your WordPress website).

    So it might be possible that multiple plug-ins are trying to use the xmlrpc.php file, which in their turn causes the long waiting.

    You can do any of the following solutions:
    1. Change the name of the file to something completely different.
    2. Add <Files “xmlrpc.php”>
    Order Allow,Deny
    deny from all
    </Files> to your .htaccess file
    3. Install the plug-in “Disable XML-RPC Pingback”.

    Let us know if it solves your long awaiting time.

    I have the same error, but steps above do not help!

    Can you please check my site – https://forgardening.org

    Hi @forgardening,

    I have no idea what you are talking about. Tested your website on Pingdom https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/bTSiLa/https://forgardening.org/

    Loading time of a little more then 1 second, and no xml files are loading at all.
    I don’t think you have the same issue.
    To even further your websites speed, try a smush plug-in to smaller the images on your website.

    Edit: Maybe you think your website still has the same issue because you have a caching plug-in enabled? For me it’s the first time checking the website. Clear cache if so and test again.

    Thank you @helldog2018 for reply!

    What I have on wordpress:

    1. Woocommerce
    2. WP Super Cache

    Yes I mentioned that when I clear the cache and after that I am checking on pingdom.com it shows 5.5 sec.

    Then I make second run on pingdom.com and it shows 0.9sec… but for my new clients it will show like a first time visiting and will load 5.5sec which is huge…

    Please what else can help me ?

    I tried turn off all plugins, but not much luck.

    There are a multitude of things you can do

    • Smush images and/or compress them
    • Keep your WordPress installation updated to the latest version (this also means your plug-ins and themes
    • If you are using blog archives, use excerpts instead of full posts
    • If your single posts are having comments (lots of comments), split them into pages
    • Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
    • Optimize your database
    • Use a theme optimized for speed
    • Disable hotlinking and leeching of your content
    • These are just a few steps you can take to fasten your WordPress website.
      Good luck!

    Thanks @helldog2018 for the tips! Tell me, all the cache plugins works for the first time visiting website, waiting for example 4 sec and receives in 1 sec and page is loaded. While without cache plugin you are waiting 0.5sec and receiving 4 sec. So the cache plugins is not suitable for website new comers ?

    Not all caching plug-ins are good.
    I have no idea which caching plug-in you are using.

    @helldog2018 for example WP super cache is performing as I described, which cache plugin you can recommend ?

    Hi @andisman,

    Yeah WP Super Cache definately isn’t a bad caching plugin, but for some themes it is not compatible.

    Three Caching plugins with their pro’s and cons:

      WP Super Cache Pro’s
    • Easy to install and configure
    • Support for content delivery network
    • It’s free
      WP Super Cache cons
    • A few issues with compatibility (themes, other plugins etc) have been reported by some users
    • If a user is logged in, they won’t experience supercaching
      W3 Total Cache pro’s
    • Supports CDN, minification and gzip
    • Vast customization options – 16 pages worth
      W3 Total Cache cons
    • So many customization options could be a little daunting for some
      WP Rocket Pro’s
    • One of the fastest on the market
    • Excellent tech support available
      WP Rocket cons
    • Does cost between $39 – $199,- to install
    • Limited advanced options

    Hope this helps a bit.
