What is the Local machine for? Does it matter if its not what your users see?
When you change something its processing everything dynamically to deleiver the page. Threafter its probably pulling from cache either from WP (if you use a cache plugin) or your browser. Normal.
Yes it’s local but at this point I’m worried that something I did and eventually I’ll do the same online.
I know about caching, I know quite a bit about wordpress dev. Even if cached the pages take about 4 minutes to load. Online seconds.
I’m thinking my data might be corrupted somehow, hence wanting to track whats going on. And yes I’ve disabled ALL the plugins and still get the same issue.
Is your local machine Windows or Linux/UNIX?
If Windows run Sysinternal’s Process Monitor. If you don’t have it you can get it from Microsoft HERE.
If Linux, in another session run: top and also ps -ef (or ps -aux)
Must be something else going on. Other you will have to see if a WP plugin is causing it. 4 minutes should not be corrupted data.
So running ‘top’ i have 3 httpd in the list and one runs the cpu up to 96% when I load the page.
Does that mean anything to anyone?
Thanks
Is it at 96% for the 4 minutes you mentioned? For short periods especially if the machine does not have a fast CPU it is alright. PHP is very CPU intensive as it is server side and not just sending (HTML)text.
If you have strace try doing:
strace -p PID (where the PID is the one found in top)
That gives the system calls for the process and you can see if something is causing a problem.
