 * Hi there,
   I recently launched a brand-new WordPress website and haven’t yet contributed
   any content or updates. First of all, it takes at least 20 seconds for the URL
   to load in any browser that I have tried. The links to the Sample Page and the
   Title name, for example, would not work for me when I tried to click on them 
   because they linked to an IP address other than the home page. When I first built
   it up, I could access wp-admin, but that is also broken now. That might be the
   only modification; I believe I added the domain name information after accessing
   it originally using the IP address.There must be a ton of configuration files,
   even if I’m not sure which ones to check. Of course, it is true that I am already
   familiar with wp-config.conf. I’m not entirely positive, but it looks like it
   might be a WordPress issue. I also used a few tools to check the health of my
   domain and website, and everything appears to be in order. With appreciation

 * Here are some things you can try to troubleshoot your new WordPress site:
    - Check the site URL and home URL settings in the `wp-config.php` file. Make
      sure they match your actual site URL.
    - Try clearing your browser cache and cookies. Sometimes cached assets can cause
      issues.
    - Check if your theme and plugins are up to date. Incompatible or buggy versions
      can sometimes break things.
    - Temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty-Four. If
      that fixes it, your custom theme may be the issue.
    - Disable all plugins and re-enable them one at a time. A plugin conflict can
      sometimes break things.
    - Check that your server meets WordPress’ system requirements, including PHP
      version and extensions.
    - Look for file permission issues on key WordPress folders like wp-content. 
      They may need to be set to `755`.
    - If it started after changing the site URL, check your database to make sure
      URL references were updated properly.
    - Try resetting the permalinks structure to default under Settings > Permalinks.
 * Let me know if any of those suggestions help reveal the cause.
