Site is Slow – how can I determine why?

  • The load time is really slow for my site:

    https://mkriggs.com

    I have WordPress 2.0 running and a fair # of blog entries, but really nothing to heavy, I should think.

    I’m also running Gallery and it also runs slowly.

    I’m suspecting that my ISP is the culprit, but how can I tell for sure? Are there tests or debug info that will tell me where the speed is being affected?

  • I’ve found this plugin, Dump Enviroment useful in the past, it creates a section at the end of your page in HTML comments with all of the query and class info for WP.

    Good luck,
    Michael.

    Thanks.

    That’s is useful info, but not quite what I was looking for. I guess I was hoping to find something that would tell me how long my overall load time is and how break it down by action, ie. queries and what not.

    I’ve got an extention in Firefox that gives the exact load time, and there’s a call you can put in your page to show the number of queries:

    <!--<?php echo $wpdb->num_queries; ?> queries in <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds-->

    I comment mine out just because. I’ve seen other people show it. I just didn’t want to. The call will display “% queries in % seconds.”

    my blog is very slow when it comes to save posts. i tried many times and when i edit a post and save it again, it takes like 10sec before it happens something. the server is fast.

    When you save a post, it pings https://rpc.pingomatic.com/ by default. If pingomatic’s response time is slow, then saving will be slow. One way to remove this ping step is to delete the address from the options menu.
