    my other (non-wordpress websites) load like lightning.

    this is the only wordpress site on my server.

    site takes waaaay too long to load. I have done nothing to it; just got it installed.

    it’s a fully up-to-date ubuntu server with apache2.

    where do i even start to look for problems? its a vanilla install.

    I would first try and get in touch with your hosting company. In my experience there could be many issues on their end slowing it down.

    A list of things you can start with:

    1. Ping the server from your connection to rule out connection issues to the server
    2. Use browser developer tools like the network panel in Google Chrome. Look for any assets that are taking a long time to load and slowing down page load.
    3. Install the Debug Bar plugin and Debug Bar Extender. Then use the “Profiler” and “Queries” tabs to see if there are any high execution times or queries taking too long. Also check the memory usage at the top and ensure it isn’t too high.

    If after all that, the problem still isn’t clear you need to start profiling your server which gets pretty complex. It may be easier to just upgrade your hosting. What are the hardware specs of your virtual server?
