Why is my website so slow?


Recommended Posts

Its been running fine until today. Even the back office is running slow. I mean really slow, like 3-4 minutes to load each page. The only thing I have done differently is clear cache/cookies but every other website is running like normal so surely it cant be that?

If someone could check my website and see if it also runs slowly that would be great http://hotcosmetics.co.uk/

Thanks.

Its still running slow, sometimes takes 5-8seconds to load a page. What is the caching bit at the bottom of that page? If I select memcached I get a warning about installing something and if I select file system it asks for directory path and I dont know what to put there? Any suggestions for speeding things up would be great.

It may be a module which is slowing it down, try to disable all modules, and see if it works faster, if it does, start enabling them one by one and see where is starts slowing down.

 

Make sure to keep a backup, or just note which modules were active and where.

Thanks. If I disable them can I just enable them again without loosing data etc?

 

I disabled some modules that weren't being used the other day and that helped, it was totally unusable before that. But any ideas why its so random. I can have a good few hours where it all works quite well, a tad on the slow side, but nothing too bad. Then suddenly 8-10seconds to load pages, timing out all together.

 

And its not my internet and doesn't seem to be the hosting because the rest of the site seems fine.
