Slow site: Due to multiple people logged in w the same UN?

  • Hello!

    We are experiencing slow speed on our site backend when we’re all logged in at my office. The master login UN is “Admin” and although we all have our individual logins, I’m now wondering if the speed issue is because my staff AREN’T using their own UNs but instead are logging in with the Admin UN.

    Is it possible that the site is slow to edit etc because of this? Can this happen?

    It’s after hours and I’m at home (so the only one logged in) and it’s waaaaay faster. Interestingly enough, I tethered to my phone while at work to see if it was my local network causing the issue and it was just as slow – further supporting my theory that multiple people logged in w the same UN can cause a slowdown. Has anyone seen this?

  • Yes having multiple people logged in with the same username can cause issues. That is wasy to check out – change the Admin’s password and make everyone use there own.

    If that doesn’t fix it, the most likely cause is the host. are you on a shared server? are you hosting the site on one of the bargin ‘get unlimited sites for $.99 a month’ hosts? You get what you pay for when it comes to hosting.

    Thanks for your reply – I’ll definitely hammer home this multiple login issue with the staff this am. Hopefully with us all logged in w our separate UNs and PWs can solve this.

    As for our host, we are on a dedicated server with WP Engine and pay $600/mo so I would hope this isn’t an issue. Also not “getting what I pay for” at this rate definitely! At work we’re also all hard-wired into a fibre optic Internet connection with ~90mbps up and down speeds…so while editing, this shouldn’t be a problem at all either…
