Please read this support topic and try to find the plugin which crashes your website: https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/slow-when-posting-a-new-topic/paged/2/#post-37642

So we can't test.

So it could be something with the database. Also when doing all that press f12 and check your browser's console for errors.

Also enable debug.log, and check.

A possible error in db? A slow db?

I posted above the ways to find out.

In addition, you will learn how to use the Chrome DevTools to show you what site is doing.

 

I just checked and your site runs fine for me - about 1 second for host to deliver first byte. So your host is a little slow (08:45 GMT) but not bad.

 

I guess you may be on shared hosting and checking site while others on shared plan are heavily loaded?? DevTools will help you see this.

I will check.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/

will help you to pinpoint possible slowness.

This most probably is a hosting problem unless your DEBUG LOG shows any errors. Enable it and check.

My test a couple minutes ago is seeing about 17-20 seconds of spinning icon (upper right corner of window) when I post or reply to a post in Safari 13.1 or Chrome 80.0 on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.15.4.

This is consistently the case when I register as a new user, try to reset a lost password, etc. 

I deactivated all plugins except the SSL one (Really Simple SSL) and got the same results.

Are you able to tell what's happening and how to fix it? This is a new site with a very small set of beta-testing users. Thanks.
