Wordpress Speed Issue - *FIXED*
Here are the results of the speed test on iWebTool.
Size: 24.63 KB
Load Time: 23.42 seconds
Avg. Speed per KB: 0.93 seconds
I tried deactivating ALL the plugins because apparently plugins can cause issues, but the site is still loading extremely low according to the iWeb Speed Test tool. There is something definitely going on.
I contacted my webhost, and they said I was NOT having any "connection problems". Other sites on the same IP (VPS server) load fast, so it seems to be something with this particular site/WP install.
I tried installing the default theme for WP 3.0 just to see if that would fix things, but it's still slow.
What could possibly be wrong?
I process .php redirects in a /links/ directory which is separate from WordPress and those links are slow too. So now I'm confused. My /links/ directory isnt even apart of Wordpress and it too is slow. Then my webhost says Wordpress and/or my theme is the problem.
I looked through all the template files - saw a couple deprecated functions so I replaced those will the new and correct function for WP 3.0 - but ...... still slow!
Please PM me with your prices for this kind of troubleshooting. I have spent the last 4 days on various forums trying to find somebody
Thanks!
