Check with your webhost where this comes from – Probably some limitation on MySQL.
AdRotate requires a proper hosting setup. Some shared hosting packages are simply not sufficient.
Can you give me some settings I need to be aware off so I can check with my webhoster?

I’d start with taking a look at your error_log, database and other plugins.
– Does it use MyISAM – If so, why? innoDB is often faster (not always!)
– How many connections can you make to MySQL at any given time? Some hosts like to limit this to something stupid like 4 or 8. That means that if you have more than that amount of users on your site at any given time they have to queue up.
Imagine 4 simulatneous connections. The 5th visitor has to wait till the first is done. This slows things down considerably. Especially if your site is busy.
– How many plugins do you have? What do they do? Perhaps a conflict with something.
– Is there a repeating error in your error_log causing slowdowns. This may or may not be AdRotate related. Any error mentioning AdRotate I can help you with.
Everthing seems to be fine with the settings – do you have any other idea?

What settings did you check?
In almost every case though –
Clean up the database (eg. remove old stats) or get better hosting.
I checked the errorlogs the database thing and the connections. everything is fine. Cleaning up the databse does not really help…

Then my guess would be insufficient hosting.
A number of shared hosting packages simply are not cut out for plugins like AdRotate.
You can try and disable the statistics in AdRotate Settings (checkbox) see what that does.
If the site is fast after disabling it’s definitely a problem with your database. Perhaps not so much the database itself, but more likely a limitation on connections/queries.
