Why does my page load so slowly?

First, check with your server if the database server is online, if they have any other problem at their end, or if they made any changes to your account, or if they have any suggestion to improve the hosting account?

Because our website was purchased through GoDaddy is this an issue with GoDaddy or WordPress?

“Error establishing a database connection.”

I keep getting this error.

Did you contact your hosting provider (as suggested above) if the DB server is down?

I have had the same problem with slow pages. Everything connected to wordpress was slow. It would take up to 45 seconds to open my wordpress blog. and from first click to the login pasge would take a minimum of 15 seconds, from login to my dashboard another 25 to 30 seconds.

I tried it with different browsers and on several different machines. always very slow.

I cleared cache and cleaned my machine completely. Nothing helped. I also deactivated all plugins and still loaded slow.

I did fix the problem finalloy. I am no consultant or pro of any kind but what finally fixed my problem was to actually DELETE all of the plugins and restart the program.

After deleting all plugins the program ran as fast as it did when new.

The plugin that caused my problem was the wordpres stats plugin.

I don’t know if that is the answer for anyone else but it sure did the trick for me.
