My first thought goes to the hosting company’s server. Don’t really think it’s something else. You should contact them.
if it’s also in the phpmyadmin interface, then the problem is external to WordPress. As @blade suggests, this is a problem with your hosting.
I thought about that too, and tried to restart the server etc…
And then I thought about a simple way to check if it is the db or the host : empty the DB.
Once the database was empty…. Everything is allright ! So the problem really comes from the DB content itself.
And the DB is not heavy at all (no table bigger than 30Mo)
OK I think located that the problem was in wp_options table.
If I empty only this table, everything is quickly loading, but I have the maintenance page (of course, without options).
Another possibility is that because some options are missing, the site does not load fully, and more memory is available, so that is why phpmyadmin is fluid when I empty the table…
Any idea ? Do you know if I could find somewhere a list of “basic” content for this table ? if something is corrupted, I really do not know where to look first
is this into all of your pages? try using Query Monitor Plugin
You can see if there are slow queries or duplicate queries into your database.
I already tried the plugin, it does not tells me a lot of warnings, and no error.
I really think it’s some corrupted data in my options table.
The next step for me will be to delete data from the table, line by line (I reduced it to 140 lines) and see when things are getting better.
