Change the name of the file to something completely different. 2. Add Order Allow,Deny deny from all to your .htaccess file 3. Install the plug-in “Disable XML-RPC Pingback”. * Let us know if it solves your long awaiting time. - This reply was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by [helldog2018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/helldog2018/). * [forgardening](https://wordpress.org/support/users/forgardening/) * (@forgardening) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-loading-time-too-long-xmlrpc-php/#post-10166374) * I have the same error, but steps above do not help! * Can you please check my site – [https://forgardening.org](https://forgardening.org) * [helldog2018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/helldog2018/) * (@helldog2018) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-loading-time-too-long-xmlrpc-php/#post-10166427) * Hi [@forgardening](https://wordpress.org/support/users/forgardening/), * I have no idea what you are talking about. Tested your website on Pingdom [https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/bTSiLa/https://forgardening.org/](https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/bTSiLa/https://forgardening.org/) * Loading time of a little more then 1 second, and no xml files are loading at all. I don’t think you have the same issue. To even further your websites speed, try a smush plug-in to smaller the images on your website. * Edit: Maybe you think your website still has the same issue because you have a caching plug-in enabled? For me it’s the first time checking the website. Clear cache if so and test again. - This reply was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by [helldog2018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/helldog2018/). * Thread Starter [andisman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andisman/) * (@andisman) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-loading-time-too-long-xmlrpc-php/#post-10170795) * Thank you [@helldog2018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/helldog2018/) for reply! * What I have on wordpress: * 1. Woocommerce 2. WP Super Cache * Yes I mentioned that when I clear the cache and after that I am checking on pingdom. com it shows 5.5 sec. * Then I make second run on pingdom.com and it shows 0.9sec… but for my new clients it will show like a first time visiting and will load 5.5sec which is huge… * Please what else can help me ? * I tried turn off all plugins, but not much luck. - This reply was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by [andisman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andisman/). * [helldog2018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/helldog2018/) * (@helldog2018) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-loading-time-too-long-xmlrpc-php/#post-10172609) * There are a multitude of things you can do - Smush images and/or compress them - Keep your WordPress installation updated to the latest version (this also means your plug-ins and themes - If you are using blog archives, use excerpts instead of full posts - If your single posts are having comments (lots of comments), split them into pages - Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) - Optimize your database - Use a theme optimized for speed - Disable hotlinking and leeching of your content - These are just a few steps you can take to fasten your WordPress website.

Tell me, all the cache plugins works for the first time visiting website, waiting for example 4 sec and receives in 1 sec and page is loaded. While without cache plugin you are waiting 0.5sec and receiving 4 sec. So the cache plugins is not suitable for website new comers ? * [helldog2018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/helldog2018/) * (@helldog2018) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-loading-time-too-long-xmlrpc-php/#post-10172869) * Not all caching plug-ins are good. I have no idea which caching plug-in you are using. * Thread Starter [andisman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andisman/) * (@andisman) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-loading-time-too-long-xmlrpc-php/#post-10173260) * [@helldog2018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/helldog2018/) for example WP super cache is performing as I described, which cache plugin you can recommend? * [helldog2018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/helldog2018/) * (@helldog2018) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-loading-time-too-long-xmlrpc-php/#post-10173478) * Hi [@andisman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andisman/), * Yeah WP Super Cache definately isn’t a bad caching plugin, but for some themes it is not compatible. * Three Caching plugins with their pro’s and cons: 1. **WP Super Cache Pro’s** * - Easy to install and configure - Support for content delivery network - It’s free * 1. **WP Super Cache cons** * - A few issues with compatibility (themes, other plugins etc) have been reported by some users - If a user is logged in, they won’t experience supercaching * 1. **W3 Total Cache pro’s** * - Supports CDN, minification and gzip - Vast customization options – 16 pages worth * 1. **W3 Total Cache cons** * - So many customization options could be a little daunting for some * 1. **WP Rocket Pro’s** * - One of the fastest on the market - Excellent tech support available * 1. **WP Rocket cons** * - Does cost between $39 – $199,- to install - Limited advanced options * Hope this helps a bit. - This reply was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by [helldog2018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/helldog2018/).
