Hey problem solved. The local DNS is the culprit. I flush it by using this command line:

dscacheutil -flushcache

It works on my OS X 10.8.5

Could this be an issue of the Cloudflare? Please help me out.

While I am having problem flushing the DNS, I found one more thing:

The site shows updates when I was using my Macbook through the public library Internet. The same Macbook, after I returned home and I just opened it to connect with my home wifi, goes back to the old site that shows no updates.

Is this still a sign of a corrupt local DNS?

Hi WPyogl and James.

Thank you! I think flushing local DNS will fix it. I haven’t done that before, but I have problem doing it. I haven’t done that before.

I access my terminal and run the command as your link suggests for my OS X. Then it asks me for password. I try to type but it greys out. I could not type in. What can I do?

I am using the following command for my Mountain Lion

sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

The problem occurs after I point my domain name to a new server. My home computer just refuses to go to the pointing server. It always hangs on to the old server. That is why it is not showing the updates while other computers can.

How to address the problem?

The changes include the little Map on the top of the left sidebar. I am sure you can see it in your browser. It is just my home computer refuse to refresh the webpage. Even the reboot does get it refresh. Neither the clearing of cache

You are absolutely right. Do you have any suggestions of a few quality hostings that are affordable?

What is the reasonable loading time that you would tolerate with. I am building a site to promote my photography business and I think my potential clients would tolerate the current speed.

I will go with company in the states. Hostpapa is said to be the No. 1 in Canada, and the customer service really sucks, making me wait for a long time on their online chat support.

I just contacted Hostpapa and i was told that:

The domains are loading slow at our endIf you are facing this issue you can enable cloudflare

Do you think Cloudflare would make a difference?

Thanks Peter. For the first site. I have no plugin installed except the default Akismet. It is very slow. For the second one I only have one plugin, the WP Super Cache. So plugins should not be the issue here. I tried the P3 plugin test for my second site, and the plugin accounts for less than 5% of the slowing down. I do not know what else could be the issue.

If it is the hosting, all my sites should be equally slow, but as you see one is still loading two times faster than the other one.

Does anyone have this problem? Most websites I use everyday are fast. Why mine is so slow?

Thanks again! Everything is working well except the loading speed on my server. I will post it in a new post. You have a good day!

Hi Bet Hannon. Thank you for this! I have used export and import to combine the sites. It is easy now because WordPress allows me to export media file as well. So this problem has been solved.

Regarding the multiple sidebar. It is too much for me to code those PHP files. I used the plugin Dynamic Widget for this task. It gives me all I want to achieve so far and I am happy. My concern is if this is efficient. I am now working on my localhost and it works well. I wonder if the plugin may slow me down once I put my site online.

I have the same problem. The Nextgen 2.0.40 takes up to 95% of the speed scan by P3. My site is loading at 15 seconds even when I am using the fastest office LAN internet.

I have solved the problem by creating a new directory and uploading my backup from my hard drive onto the directory in the server. I think the problem was somehow related to the dragging between directories in the server.

I would say yes. I have successfully move my WordPress before and I think I know how to do it.
What I did this time was dragging the folder to another directory. Then updated the directory at the wp-config.php. Then go to the phpmyadmin and in my database I ran the SQL query to change the url like the following:

UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace( option_value, 'https://www.dongphotography.ca', 'https://www.dongyuesu.com/photography' ) WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl';

UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, 'https://www.dongphotography.ca','https://www.dongyuesu.com/photography');

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'www.dongphotography.ca','https://www.dongyuesu.com/photography');

Oh yes you are right. The category archive is now showing what I want. Problem solved!
I did refresh my browser a few times but things remained the same though. Then I switched to another computer and I saw the change. You are right that I need to clear the cache; but many other changes do not require clearing cache. That was why I had doubt. Sorry for that.

Thanks again Alchymyth. I saw you quite active in different treads helping people. I am very grateful to your help!
