Site & Admin Dashboard Running Very Slow

[hindsiteforum]

Hello,

My site and the admin dashboard are running very slowly. It takes quite a few seconds for any page to load, including all of the backend dashboard pages. I’ve attached a video of how long it will take to load the admin dashboard. It really slows down when I try to edit any pages or any content (about 30 seconds in). I also went to the actual site to show slowness there as well.

I also included a video of another wordpress site I have, hosted on the exact same server, using a free theme, however using also Visual Composer & many other plugins, and it is remarkably fast. I tested these both within the same network, and changing my location does not improve my site’s speed at all.

Wondering how I can improve this?? On one of my pages, I am currently hosting another website within my website, so I know that can cause slowness on the front end, but it does not explain why editing in the admin Dashboard panel is so slow as well.

Any ideas/suggestions??

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing slow load times and I will gladly help you to see what is causing this. From our experience in the past year I am almost sure it is not related to our theme and it comes from the plugins that are enabled on your site. To see if the theme is actually causing this, just enable the default Wordpress theme and do the same test and see the results. I am sure our theme is not affecting the load time in a way you described it. Let me know how it goes and afterwards maybe do the same test with the plugins by disabling them one by one. We even have an article related to slow speed that might help: http://seventhqueen.com/blog/code-snippets/the-definitive-wordpress-speed-guide-step-by-step-easy.html
