No, I have never been able to get this resolved, I have worked with multiple hosting companies that have attempted many changes. Almost every host promises on the front end that they can fix this and then are left puzzled by the issue even with making server modifications.

I believe that there is an issue with wordpress specific to pages with large websites. I have several large sites over 5000 pages and they all run super super slow. I use the permalink – postname structure and have tried all of the different formats without luck, my assumption is that this is a specific wordpress issue that requires customization in php that is beyond by skill set.

I’ve given up to be honest

I found this online as well, not sure if there is a way to correct with wordpress or not

I have also discovered that if I submit the link as follow

jarvisconstruction.com/water-damage/

versus

jarvisconstruction.com/water-damage

then it does not bring up the 301 redirect loop issue

thanks, these are all good resources but don’t address the specific issue I am encountering.

Still having issues, suggestions are to re-install an old version but every version I seem to have saved looks to have the same corrupt .htacess file which I have changed but this is not fixing the issue so I am thinking there is malicious code somewhere else in the site as well, really need some help here!!

@ deilers, thanks for the post, curious if your site has an equally large number of pages. I am not sure if wordpress handles pages versus posts structure in a different manner, but all sites I have worked on that have a large number of pages (5000+) or more are quite slow

thanks again for trying to help!

Thanks, we will pass this onto our webhost, its a bit beyond my technical experience

I would look into adding t2o types of caching (if you aren’t already).

1) An opcode cache. If you are on php5.4 or earlier, you’ll want to look into APC. If you are on php5.5, Zend OpCache should be the easiest.

2) A persistant data cache. Memcached is the most famous version.

ok, here is the latest from our web host, they are again trying to get us to do another upgrade from a hosting perspective, any recommendations or feedback is appreciated.

when you upgraded previously you simply added more simultaneous processing power, you did not move to a server with a higher clock speed. That is why you did not notice a difference after the upgrade you have already done. It is only an increase in clock speed that will decrease these wait times, however I must warn you, that I cannot predict how much more time you can save by increasing your clock speed, it may be very negligible and not worth it. That however is the only thing that will speed up this process short of decreasing the number of pages on that site.

@pioneer valley, no idea what that means, can you elaborate to I can share with my hosting company. My gut instinct is wordpress in default is not made to run large sites with many pages (over 3000) without being customer configured, just don’t know what these custom configurations are..

They have tried making these adjustments, but things are still very slow, I have completed the adjustments to MySQL. These are the changes I made:max_connections = 50 —> 64key_buffer = 64M —> 256Minnodb_buffer_pool_size = 128M —> 256MI

3.71 version, I will reach out to my host to see if they can provide some additional clarification to your questions and post. We have tried different themes and removing all of the plugins but this has not adjusted the back end speed. I have a few sites that are over 3000 pages, and it seems that the more pages you add with wordpress the slower the wp-admin function works, there has to be ways to improve this performance…thanks for your feedback will post what my server indicates they have done, etc.

Yes, we are onto our 3rd host at this point, some previous items that were attempted by the with limited success include:

VPS is still hitting the memory limit raised the RAM limit by 500MB
I’ve raised the privvmpages limit (memory) by 10%. raised the Burstable memory of your VPS by another 300MB
increased the max_execution_time variable in Php.ini.

There has to be some tips for configuring your wordpress site to run smooth on the backend for large sites

THANKS AGAIN!!

Thanks, we have already reviewed these, they don’t address our issue. This is not an issue with a slow loading website, strictly a back end admin issue, specific to adding/editing pages

Additionally the post functionality works fine, the issue with slow load is only relative to adding or modifying a page

Ok still having problems here, I have changed hosting providers without any improvements. The main recommendation from hostgator is to find someone who can create an index within our mysql tables to help these pages load faster.

The site is around 5800 pages and has about 5800 unique images

Can anyone recommend a programmer who may assist with this?
