WP issue – updating pages/posts takes a long time

  • Hi

    I am running WP 3.3.1 on its own dedicated server (Quadcore 3.2Ghz, 16GB Ram, 2 x 450GB SAS 15k, Linux Centos 6.2, PHP 5.2.17, MySQL 5.5)

    When we updated Pages or Posts, it takes a longtime before it says the page is updated. We’ve tried optimizing & repairing the database but this does not help. Its been slow for a while and lately seems to be getting worse.

    is their any easy way to track down what is causing this? I’ve uninstalled plugins i feel we dont need/use.

    here is a list of installed plugins:

    Admin Favicon
    Akismet
    All in One SEO Pack – Pro Version
    AskApache RewriteRules Viewer
    Auto Tags

    Page Link Manager

    PPinger
    Robots Meta
    RSS Footer

    You’re using a few redundant plugins.

    First these:
    All in One SEO Pack – Pro Version
    SEO Booster PRO
    SEO Slugs
    SEO Smart Links

    You shoudl ONLY need the first one.

    Also get rid of
    AskApache RewriteRules Viewer
    WP-DBManager

    If you’re using Apache, and you have a dedicated server, go in and look at rewrite rules normally. Using WP for the job is slow.

    AND if you’re using WP Multisite, which I assume you are from this:
    WPMU Fast Verification for Google Webmaster Tools and Yahoo! Site Explorer

    You need to dump the DBManager and WP-Optimize and start doing that directly in your database. It’s not that hard, and it’ll be faster that way. Less strain on your site.

    You can also dump WordPress Gzip Compression, and do that right in apache (it’ll be faster) by putting this in your .htaccess:

    <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
 AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/xml text/css text/plain
 AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml application/xhtml+xml application/xml
 AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rdf+xml application/rss+xml application/atom+xml
 AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript
 AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-font-ttf application/x-font-otf
 AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/truetype font/opentype
</IfModule>

    Google around, you’ll see how easy it is.

    Get rid of WP-Secure Remove WordPress Version – It doesn’t help. You can remove it from your themes if you must.

    Yet Another Related Posts Plugin can slow things down, if you don’t need to cross taxonomies, try “Efficient Related Posts” instead.

    Hey

    firstly, thank you so much for your quick repsonse to my thread, I really do appreciate it.

    OK so I deleted all of them plugins apart from all in one seo pro which we really do use and I replaced YARPP with Efficient Related Posts.

    I then cleared the cache and relogged in to wp admin, and it seems allot better its now taking about 10 seconds where sometimes it never came back saying updated.

    I then wrote a new post/blog, and it took 10 seconds to publish so 1000% better!

    I’ll keep you informed on my progress.
