[resolved] WordPress loading very slow (already tried plugins etc) (4 posts)

    I already tried turning off plugins, especially lightroom, which did not do much... my site can take as much as 30 seconds to load.

    I installed firebug on firefox and watched it unfold. There are a lot of 404 errors as it loads... and those errors each take 2 to 8 seconds.

    Here is my site:
    http://willyrichardson.com/blog/

    I'm going to list the error messages now. I have no idea what they mean:

    GET wp-builder.js
    http://willyrichardson.com/blog/wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/wp-builder.js

    GET wp-effects.js
    http://willyrichardson.com/blog/wp-includes/js/scriptaculous

    GET wp-dragdrop.js
    http://willyrichardson.com/blog/wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/wp-dragdrop.js

    GET wp-controls.js
    http://willyrichardson.com/blog/wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/wp-controls.js

    GET wp-slider.js
    http://willyrichardson.com/blog/wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/wp-slider.js

    GET wp-sound.js
    http://willyrichardson.com/blog/wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/wp-sound.js

    Then a few 304 no modified's show up and then back to 4 more 404's:

    GET wp-dragdrop.js
    http://willyrichardson.com/blog/wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/wp-dragdrop.js

    GET wp-controls.js
    http://willyrichardson.com/blog/wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/wp-controls.js

    GET wp-slider.js
    http://willyrichardson.com/blog/wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/wp-slider.js

    GET wp-sound.js
    http://willyrichardson.com/blog/wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/wp-sound.js

    If all of those "GET" calls are resulting in 404s, then you're using a plugin or theme which is looking for the wrong filenames in /wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/.

    Try decativating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Default theme (WordPress 2.9) or the Twenty Ten theme (WordPress 3.0) to rule-out a theme-specific issue.

    I thought I had gone through them one by one, but obviously hadn't. It was the Social Bookmarks plugin causing all that trouble!

    I'm so happy it's not something important to me- deleted it and loading between 4-6 seconds now.

    thank you!
