All I did today was change the name of a service I offer in the "Category" and of course change the text in the box as well as change the page name and content.

The one I changed was "Postcard Marketing".

Right after the change I noticed that my site is now loading REALLY really slowly like horribly slow.

What could I have done that would have made it do this?

Before I did this change today the site was loading quickly.

The site is:

Joyfulwraps Marketing by Laura Quintile | Just another WordPress site


I appreciate any help as I just don't know why the change I did would have made a difference to the loading time.

      Webpeon,

      You're safe, have no intention of changing the url as this is my main site and I have had the same url for the past 6 years. Joy is actually my mom's name and it started out as a candy wrap site. I took on the "joyfulwraps" name to use in forums and am known now for that name. Thank goodness the word "wrap" has many meanings. I need to come up with a catchy tagline yet for the site.

    Hello,
    Seems to be loading fine here... but for gosh sakes as a pro (myself) and in the niche I love .. your site (internet marketing). Please goto your general settings and change the "Just another wordpress Site" - to something proper such as "web marketing soloutions" so the title in the title bar shows properly and google doesn't index it as "Joyful wraps - just another wordpress site" --- thx

      Hi Temlawn,

      Sorry about that, kept meaning to do that and just had too many other things to do with the site that it just never got done. It is changed now, so thanks for reminding me to do it.

    Hello,
    The contact forum, this is a little advanced, but your welcome to try this if you feel comfortable doing it.
    Go into your hosting, goto public_html, goto wp_content, goto themes, click on your theme folder, goto sidebar.php, click on edit, scroll down to where the contact forum php is its on line 161 of your site code .... you will see where it says " wpcf7-form-control-wrap your-message" in the code.... you will see a text area that says: < textarea name="your-message" cols="40" rows="10> ---

    Reduce these numbers a little bit and hit save.. until it fits your sidebar. Check the site in your browser. That should do the trick.

    If you have no clue what I just said above.. don't touch it, hire somebody to do it.

    Thanks
