wp-admin slow on Ubuntu 16.04/LAMP on VirtualBox

  • Hi guys,
    I’ve installed Ubuntu 16.04 + LAMP on VirtualBox.
    Everything is set correctly and all requirements are met for WordPress.

    On a fresh installation of WordPress, the frontend is loading really fast. According to dev tools in chrome 300-500ms.

    The problem is when I try to access the wp-admin. The page loading time increases dramatically up to 9sec. The strange thing except slow loading is that the problem occurs on specific wp-admin pages. For example:

    Slow loading:

    wp-admin dashboard
wp-admin themes
wp-admin plugins
wp-admin settings

    Realy fast (300-400ms):

    wp-admin users
wp-admin pages
wp-admin media
wp-admin posts

    I’ve carefully investigated if there are slow queries during the script execution, but I didn’t find anything unusual.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    Your problem pages are those where WordPress “calls home” to www.remarpro.com. It does that a lot…too much, in fact. (A call to a buggy browser check script immediately comes to mind.)

    The first thing you should do is verify that your VM has network access to the outside world. If it does, then make sure the curl extension is available in PHP. This can be done by checking a phpinfo page.

    Hello, thanks for the reply.

    Yes, curl is installed and enabled, and the vbox server has network access.
