Why are the queries taking so long? And how can I fix the problem? I am also getting lots of warnings from my host saying i am running out of memory, when it really shouldn't be the case.... It has been happening for a while and i was hoping the new wordpress update would fix it, but it hasn't....
Any suggestions? It took over 80 seconds for this page ot load. Usually it is done in half a second
Make a full backup, disable and remove your current page caching plugin (for the moment) and try this
Follow my instructions fully pls.
Also since you have a large forum, you definitely MUST block some c**p using your .htaccess.
You should block known scrapers user agents, seo scanners, attacks (some) and that will block anything before arriving to your Wordpress site.
IF interested, i can post here some details.
Thanks for the info mate.... sounds like a mission! Is it likely to fix the problem?
Well, you had issues like that before and you were unable to find the real cause of it. So i can't realy tell you if this will solve your issue or not. Or improve the problem.
You should definitely try it, following my guide.
