By the way, I posted the same thread on W3 Total cache but got no response. Can you guys tell me where to find more info on How to set up browser cache and Minify in the same plugin. Ours is active (except minify) but it doesn’t seem to be giving us any result.
Image like popular tags/ facebook activity/ subscribe can be converted into text (css3/google fonts give good options) – its just a start to reduce the load on your home page as i see that internal pages are ok
Thanks for the suggestion cinghaman!
You know just yesterday, the site was loading in about 7-8 seconds in Gtmetrics. It happened soon after Mousumi fixed w3 validator errors and warnings. It lasted for about 3 hours and then got back to the snail’s pace.
The best practice could be dumping site on localhost/dev server removing some of the plugins which might not be necessary doing anything on site (sometime we go overboard with plugins for even small small things) overriding timthumb and adding custom functions for image size.
OR changing from w3 Total cache to WP super cache (just a try)
Going to try all your suggestions….dinner time in Delhi (a bit late though)
Thank you for your time!
Here it is, after loading for a minute, this is what pops up:
500 Server Error
A misconfiguration on the server caused a hiccup. Check the server logs, fix the problem, then try again.
Just a random thought what is your memory_limit in php.ini file ?
I’m currently chatting with BlueHost support. Here is what he is suggesting: But I’m not getting any hold yet 🙁
Aaron B.:Its the throttling on your account, anything about ~600 seconds is where problems start, and you are over 34,000 seconds.
(1:12:28am)Aaron B.:Your account is currently being throttled. This generally means there are processes or queries being abusive to the server, and using up a good majority of the servers overall resources. We have information on throttled as well as steps to resolve it here: https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/564 If you are unsure how to resolve this, or can’t figure it out, you can also send a ticket into the “CPU Exceede Errors” section here: https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/ticket
Another new option that we offer is cloud flare in your cPanel. This is a free and paid service (paid is only necessary if you have an SSL on the domain you are activating it on). This service caches your content on a server that is closer to your intended customer. It also stops processes from starting as the content is already cached with them. In most cases this will drastically cut throttling, or stop it all together.
(1:12:46am)Udhaw Kumar:A developer gave me the following answer:
The real reason for that error will be logged within your sites error log. That error usually occurs due to problem with the servers configuration. PHP may also trigger the error if there is a problem in your script. Bluehost should provide a facility for viewing your logs.
(1:13:35am)Aaron B.:If you log into cPanel, under “logs” there is an “error logs” section, the php section below is what you would want to look at.
1: Try removing timthumb and add_image_size function
2: php.ini memory_limit (usually it is 64M) try increasing to 100
2: Dump your site on localhost and remove plugins one by one and see the speed difference
Working on timthumb but unable to locate php.ini memory_limit
We are working on #2. Meanwhile, you can take a look at http://tinypic.com/r/2rhai5u/6 (CPU Throttling Log)
The support guy is saying that we need to fix our PHP and MySQL files.
This article has lot of step by step process
(would recommend backing up your website and database)

and again make a copy of localhost and test out or setup a dev.yourdomain.com and add copy to it
