Extremely slow load times

Post by woocha »

For some reason, by website is loading extremely slow. I mean really really slow. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Hi!

Maybe you can ask your web provider about the load utilization of your server.

There are many things that can be done on server-side to increase page loads: More RAM, better CPU, better Harddrive, recent PHP versions, PHP bytecode caches, MYSQL query tuning, MYSQL Ram utilization. This itself is independent from Serendipity and globally applies to all PHP applications.

Best regards,
Garvin

If you are using Firefox you should install the FireBug AddOn. This plugin is able to show you each loading time of any part of your site. In my case I identified a plugin consuming very long load times. I switched it off and had a very fast site again.

Perhaps it is not the provider but a slow plugin in your case, too?
