Solved: WordPress Website Is Loading Very Slow – What to do?

/in , , , , /by
If you ever had any issues with WordPress running very slow and people calling you to tell you they cant see your website, you may not be the only one. WordPress is a such a great frame work but its code complexity does not cooperate well with some servers.

We had a client come to us last week and asked us to analyze their WordPress based website as it was acting very slow. Our initial approach was to dig in and see the back-end first before making any changes. We did find some unnecessary plugins that were taking a tall on the load time but was not very significant however that always helps. After other tweaking and code optimization we decided to move their content, images, javascript, CSS files to content deliver network (CDN) for faster loading. And that did it, the site load decreased by 3.9 seconds. We also did some MySQL database optimization which had so many unused tables that were inserted by previous plugins even though they were un-installed the tables were still there. This happens quite a bit especially for sites that have had WordPress since the early days and the framework wasnt as advanced as it is today. If you need any help with speeding up your WordPress site please drop us a line and we will be happy to help you.

Ever get this type of error after installing Google XML Sitemaps plugin. There is a very easy fix to this issues. Simply, login to your FTP account or file manager and just change the sitemap filename from sitemap.xml to example.xml or site-map.xml and Rebuild it. A very small bug can cause this problem.

SOLVED: Error loading stylesheet: An unknown error has occurred (805303f4)

Or second option:

Loon in your wordpress plugin plugin folder for the file below and edit sitemap-core.php:
Full path : /wp-content/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/sitemap-core.php 

Find the following code :
function GetPluginUrl() {
//Try to use WP API if possible, introduced in WP 2.6
if (function_exists(‘plugins_url’)) return trailingslashit(plugins_url(basename(dirname(__FILE__))));
//Try to find manually… can’t work if wp-content was renamed or is redirected
$path = dirname(__FILE__);
$path = str_replace(“\”,”/”,$path);
$path = trailingslashit(get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’)) . trailingslashit(substr($path,strpos($path,”wp-content/”)));
return $path;
}

And REPLACE it with this:
function GetPluginUrl() {
//if (function_exists(‘plugins_url’)) return trailingslashit(plugins_url(basename(dirname(__FILE__))));
$path = dirname(__FILE__);
$path = str_replace(“\”,”/”,$path);
//$path = trailingslashit(get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’)) . trailingslashit(substr($path,strpos($path,”wp-content/”)));
$path = trailingslashit(substr($path,strpos($path,”wp-content/”)));
return $path;
}


This should do the trick.
