This still isn’t resolved. I have my site on the default permalink structure right now so it’s working fine. But I really want to redirect my old site, and in order to do that I need to change the permalink structure to match wordpress.com’s default (date + name).

Why does changing the permalink structure of my site make it sooooo much slower?! Anyone?

Yeah, I changed the permalinks back because it was slowing the site down so much… that’s why you got the fast load ?? It is a big site, I just don’t understand why changing the permalinks makes it so much slower :/

There has been a slight slowing down since switching to bluehost. But like I said in my first post, what really slowed everything down was changing the permalink structure. Is there a way to keep it from slowing down when you change the permalink?

I understand that embedded videos could slow it down, but the same videos were there when it was running smoothly. Also, I deactivated all plugins, but load time was still slow.

Time between entering https://www.guitarforworship.com in my address bar, and the page loading: 13 seconds.

Time it took to load a post with no media content: 17 seconds.

Any ideas what might be going on?

I tried that, but it changes the archive, search, *and* blog in general. I would like full posts on the blog, but excerpts in search results and archives.
