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 crap 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.
