Title: Extremely slow /wp-admin Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Extremely slow /wp-admin * Resolved [guiribeiro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guiribeiro/) * (@guiribeiro) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extremely-slow-wp-admin/) * Starting yesterday, the dashboard (wp-admin) of all my websites became extremely slow, taking about 2min to load. Deactivating WP-FFPC brings everything back to normal. * I’m running Centmin Mod v1.2.3 on a 512MB DigitalOcean’s Droplet, with [this configuration of WP-FFPC and Nginx](http://centminmod.com/nginx_configure_wordpress_ffpc_plugin.html). * I’ve tried many different settings for the vhost’s without any effect. The only fix was deactivating the cache system 🙁 * I really need help with this!

Although for me it was slow with or without cache 🙂 * If anyone has any idea what might be causing this especially on digitalocean ( it does not affects, for example, cheapvps.co.uk machines ), please write it down here. * [Christiaan Conover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cconover/) * (@cconover) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extremely-slow-wp-admin/#post-4141499) * I’m on DigitalOcean and my sites are faster than they’ve been on any other host. The only time I’ve run into an issue is earlier this week when WP-FFPC suddenly started causing issues with my /wp-admin and throwing 504 errors. * Plugin Author [petermolnar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cadeyrn/) * (@cadeyrn) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extremely-slow-wp-admin/#post-4141506) * I’ve tested the plugin on different version of WordPress, something has changed in 3.6 I was unaware of. * I’ll try to eliminate all notice/warning messages PHP is giving and see if it solves it. * [Christiaan Conover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cconover/) * (@cconover) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extremely-slow-wp-admin/#post-4141520) * Ok sounds good, I’ll be happy to test it for you. * Thread Starter [guiribeiro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guiribeiro/) * (@guiribeiro) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extremely-slow-wp-admin/#post-4141526) * I’ve created a new Droplet and moved all sites. The problem is gone and websites are faster than ever. Everything is using sockets, I’m wondeirng if WP-FFPC would work if I use Memcached on Unix Socks? * Plugin Author [petermolnar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cadeyrn/) * (@cadeyrn) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extremely-slow-wp-admin/#post-4141568) * Unfortunately there are issues with connecting to socket based memcached, although you would not really get any more speed if it’s on the same machine. * I still believe there’s something wrong with the plugin vs wp-admin but I did not have time to look into it yet. * Plugin Author [petermolnar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cadeyrn/) * (@cadeyrn) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extremely-slow-wp-admin/#post-4141584) * After the last few updates of WordPress any traces of the slowdown issue is gone for me. Is there any updates from your side, [@guiribeiro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guiribeiro/)? * [Christiaan Conover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cconover/) * (@cconover) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extremely-slow-wp-admin/#post-4141585) * I also moved to a new Droplet and everything is working fine. However, I did encounter an issue about three weeks after I moved that I traced to [ramlog](http://www.tremende.com/ramlog/) running out of RAM. I disabled ramlog and haven’t had a single issue since. * Thread Starter [guiribeiro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guiribeiro/) * (@guiribeiro) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extremely-slow-wp-admin/#post-4141586) * Hey Peter, thanks for your interest! To be honest, I could not be more happy, your plugin is working perfectly and is saving tons of server resources. * I believe to have found the cause of the issue (at least for me). When I first started with WP performance optimisation, I was using Ubuntu servers with Varnish and Ryan’s Memcached Object Cache plugin. Then I moved to CentOS and started experimenting with some alternatives but forgot to remove the object-cache.php file from the wp-content folder of my websites. When I moved the sites to new servers, I did it using a shell script which got rid of all remaining object- cache.php files. Since then, I had not a single issue and performance is far superior than it was before. * I don’t use Varnish for WordPress sites anymore, but is worth to mention that beyond the NGINX / Memcached cache system, I also have CloudFlare Pro in front of all my websites which guarantees that all my assets are cached in a load balanced CDN. * I’m still looking to have Memcached listen on a socket instead of a TCP port. In fact, this is quite simple to achieve, however, the plugin don’t work with this configuration and I could invest the time to investigate the reason deeply enough. Some days ago, however, a member have succeed in making Ryan’s Memcached Object Cache plugin work with a Memcached instance listening on sockets, if you can have a look, it would be awesome. * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/memcached-with-unix-socket](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/memcached-with-unix-socket) * Again, thanks a lot for making my websites super-fast!
