Slow multi-site – possibly mapping issues?

    Hi, all.

    I inherited a multisite WordPress set up from another web designer. The installation was running pretty slow, so I took a few steps to try to get it faster, including using Supercache, Minify, and a few of the other normal steps. I managed to get the load time from about 9-10 seconds to about 5-6, but it’s still pretty slow.

    After doing some poking poking around and using tools like Pingdom, I’m convinced now that there is some sort of routing/networking issue to the site, but I’m not really sure where to start because I didn’t do the initial set up.

    The main site is https://cchs.ua.edu with a few other sites also installed like https://cchs.ua.edu/fmr and https://cchs.ua.edu/umc. It just seems like it takes a while before these even START to load. Once they do, it seems to be quick enough.

    I don’t have access to any sort of server controls as this is a University-run server, but I can get requests sent to them if I need to.

    Thanks in advance.

    Also noticed that Minify needs to be activated on each individual site, as network activation did not work for me

    That’s very true. All caching and minification plugins must be activated and configured PER site.

    Hi,

    Any update on this issue ? I have a similar problem with my multisite installation

    Yes and no. I’ve just recently gotten our campus IT department to admit that we are on an old server that is about to be decommissioned. So we’re working on moving onto another server. Realistically, that’s probably where most of our problems were coming from.

    However, I DID notice that our multisite configuration in WP-CONFIG was misspelled… and fixing the misspelling actually caused the entire site to break. I didn’t set this WordPress install up, so now my plan now is to create a new WordPress install on the new server and move the content over to the new site and new install.

    I’m not sure why the misspelled config option doesn’t really seem to matter. I’m REALLY not sure why correcting the misspelling breaks all of our sites. Regardless, it appears that our problem was mostly related to being on a terrible server. Combined with a new install, I truly think our problem will disappear. It definitely doesn’t appear to be a mapping issue, in any case.

    I’m going to close this topic, because even if we continue to have problems after the new install and server move, it definitely won’t be mapping issues for multisite at that point. Good luck to anyone else. Look for misspellings!
