Hey GoDaddy,
I’ve also been a loyal member for years now. But this slow wordpress/hosting issue is a problem. I decided to email GoDaddy yesterday with a link to this post and the problems I am having. The issue is, my static content loads fast, but my dynamic (php) takes forever. I even installed a fresh copy of WordPress and the php file (not the static content) still takes at least 5 seconds to load.
Upon contacting GoDaddy, they informed me that the server was working fine and the problem must be with my code (WordPress’) or my database communication (and they provided me a link to MySQL’s page). So I decided to run passthru("ps aux") to see what might be slowing down the server. Apparently, the ONLY php process is taking ~97-99% of the CPU(s). Apparently someone is running bad code, or there are a LOT of people and traffic on this machine.
Of course, when I replied to the support request with this information, they gave me roughly the same response (your images and css load fast, so it must be a problem with your php code and MySQL communication.. here’s a link to MySQL optimization).
Hopefully, the GoDaddy support user on this WordPress thread can get back to me and help figure this out.
