   Hello. I haven't changed anything in the past few days and for some reason all of the sudden its loading super slowly.

   Can anyone help? I've disabled all the plug ins, no change. I've switched themes, no change.

   Yeah, that's a ridiculously long loading time. I'm still typing... and it's still loading... lol.

   Have you contacted your hosting provider to see if it's something on the server?

   Hey Josh. Yeah! They said its not on their end--we've tried a couple diff restores to see if that would help--no dice.

   in add'n since its woo theme, when i adjusted theme, its still the same issue. so i'm really clueless here.

   It doesn't seem to be the server and my other wp site is working fine. thx for any help you can give. as you know--with this type of loading time its pretty critical to get it fixed!

   So what are all those titles just below the menu and above the page content? Are these categories? Or pages?

   egh. Oh, its on the wrong theme right now so I dont know what it looks like to you as I'm downloading WP Cache which I read is something helpful in these situations.

   When it's switched back to Digital Farm it might look diff--hang tight. It takes an hour to change, as you can clearly tell.

   Gotcha. Unfortunately, I don't think it's a caching problem.

   You definitely have something else going on there.

   Ok. Yeah. It's not the plug-ins, unfortunately. Will let you know if I figure it out. Thanks for your help.

    I would start looking at a possible hack

    Just as I thought--it feels like a hack. What to do in that case? Any easy fix or...
    p.s. thank you for your help!

    @ Samuel,

    I'm just curious... I don't mean to hijack the thread by any means.

    But how do you know you get a malware warning? I'm still learning a lot through wordpress... and loving every minute of it.

    Here are a few other sites that can be used to scan you url. But they are not WordPress specific like sucuri.net. These are normally used my malware fighters.
