Hi winterstreet!
This is bizarre. Could you provide one of the websites experiencing an issue? Perhaps the issue is host related? Have you updated any of the themes, plugins, etc recently?
Thank you.
Here’s one https://winterstreetdesign.com so far I’ve seen it on sites hosted with Inmotion, Web Hosting Hub (but I think that’s Inmotion), and Godaddy.
I’ve tried it from my phone’s connection and I don’t have the same problem. So I would think it’s either my network or my ISP. But it’s odd that it’s only WordPress sites so far that I have issues with.
I’m sure plugins have been updated recently. I disabled all plugins and still had the problem too.
Well with one of the sites a ping test shows 50% packet loss. I’m no expert but that seems bad.
@winterstreet
Thank you for providing a website example (https://winterstreetdesign.com). For the life of me I couldn’t replicate the issue you experienced.
I attempted the following:
– Navigated throughout the website on multiple browsers (MacOS FF, Chrome, Safari)
– Reviewed console on the inspect element to see if I found any errors
– Checked the network on inspect element for any anomalies
Any chance you’ve talked to your web hosting providers to see if there’s any server related issues? Perhaps you’re on a shared server with resources being used heavily by another website?

A client just let me know he is having the same problem on his site http://www.dwightbolinger.net which is hosted with Inmotion. I just went to the site and experienced the same thing. It’s using a different theme and it still did it with all the plugins disabled.
My client has the same ISP, Comcast.
Hi @winterstreet!
Still didn’t experience the issue and performed the same test with multiple browsers and reviewing the console. The ISPs I tested the website on was Frontier and TWC. No slowness or anything on my end.
This is extremely bizarre! Have you chatted with InMotion as the issue occurred? Not being to replicate the issue is tough to troubleshoot.
I have talked with Inmotion and they say there’s nothing wrong on their end. Issue has happened on another Godaddy site too. Comcast just dropped off a test modem so I’ll see if that fixes the issue. My client who was experiencing the same problem uses Comcast and I think he has same (owned rather than rented modem) I’ll give you an update after I’ve been able to test with the new modem for a while.
Replacing the cable modem fixed the problem. I believe my modem was at one point considered compatible by xfinity, but I see it listed as incompatible now. Everything worked fine with sites like Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc. So maybe something to do with slower hosting. I don’t know, glad it’s resolved. Thanks for helping.
Glad to hear the issue was resolved with a new piece of hardware! At least the websites were working normally. 🙂
Hosting is definitely something to consider when increasing load speeds. Here are some I use for my customers. One is a DiY managed host, while the others are managed by the provider themselves. Note I am not affiliated with any of these.
– SiteGround
– Cloudways
– WPEngine
Good luck @winterstreet!
