Title: Pages Admin Extremely Slow Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Pages Admin Extremely Slow * [jackx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackx/) * (@jackx) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-admin-extremely-slow/) * Hi all, * I’m fairly new to WordPress, but like to think I know what I am doing. I have a section of pages set up and everything is great. * However, the pages management section in the admin panel is extremely slow to load, oftem timing out while listing the pages on the site. * Editing an existing page is brutally slow to load, as is opening a New Page. * Any suggestions to make this better? * Thanks.

Thanks. * [Captaffy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/captaffy/) * (@captaffy) * [19 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-admin-extremely-slow/#post-405660) * I have a fix for this issue that I just finished today. (It involved modifying a fix the developer of LightPress wrote for the 1.5 version.) If you can wait, I am going to make a page for it on June 22 where it will be freely available. I’ll update this thread when it’s ready. * [Captaffy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/captaffy/) * (@captaffy) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-admin-extremely-slow/#post-405668) * Unfortunately it’s a couple of days late, but here is the patch as promised- [http://www.marshinsoftware.com/software/wordpress_page_management_patch/](http://www.marshinsoftware.com/software/wordpress_page_management_patch/) * This drastically speeds up loading of the Page Management screen. * [arrrr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arrrr/) * (@arrrr) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-admin-extremely-slow/#post-405679) * There needs to be some solution for Pages admin display. * I have a site that probably has somewhere around 200-300 pages (yes, pages — that’s completely separate from dated posts). It takes around 15 seconds to load the manage pages tab in the admin. * It drives me nuts. * [arrrr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arrrr/) * (@arrrr) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-admin-extremely-slow/#post-405680) * Would it be possible to hijack and completely rewrite the manage pages tab via plugin? * [Captaffy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/captaffy/) * (@captaffy) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-admin-extremely-slow/#post-405681) * Uhhh, did you take a look at the patch I posted above your posts? * Check it out- [http://www.marshinsoftware.com/software/wordpress_page_management_patch/](http://www.marshinsoftware.com/software/wordpress_page_management_patch/) * [arrrr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arrrr/) * (@arrrr) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-admin-extremely-slow/#post-405682) * Uhhh, yes. But working with a large scale corporate site requires that I not apply random patches that create problems while upgrading. * [werdna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/werdna/) * (@werdna) * [19 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-admin-extremely-slow/#post-405701) * For the love of Foo, please fix page management for once and for all. Quite frankly, I’m a bit shocked and upset that nothing made it into the 2.1 release. * I manage a very large-scale patient education site that receives over 10k visits per day. We are approaching 600 static pages (not including our daily “posts” in the magazine section of the site). * WordPress page management fails miserably: anything above 100 pages and php execution time becomes an issue. We’ve had to constantly update the hacked page management page in order to use it at all. * This has been an issue for over a YEAR now, not just months. There are at least three forum threads relating to this issue, with no resolution. What’s more, I can’t find even one ticket in Trac that refers to the problem, and because new ticket creation has been locked down, I can’t even notify anyone as to this very well-known issue that no one seems to want to fix. * Does WordPress *want* enterprise users? If so, stuff like this really should be fixed. I really like WordPress, but for us, this is a deal-breaker. * [werdna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/werdna/) * (@werdna) * [19 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-admin-extremely-slow/#post-405702) * Moderator, please move this thread to the [How-To and Troubleshooting Forum](http://wordpress.org/support/forum/3). * [kineda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kineda/) * (@kineda) * [19 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-admin-extremely-slow/#post-405703) * There is a ticket open for this problem. It was done in this thread after I dug and dug!!!! 😀 * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/99953?replies=19](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/99953?replies=19) * [werdna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/werdna/) * (@werdna) * [19 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-admin-extremely-slow/#post-405704) * Well, that’s the first positive sign I’ve seen relating to this issue. * Unfortunately, WP2.1 doesn’t improve anything with pages. With a site containing around 600 pages, it is still utterly unusable (even via localhosting). * Sigh. * [susmac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/susmac/) * (@susmac) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-admin-extremely-slow/#post-405707) * I like WordPress too but the edit and refresh times are excruciating. The site is new — it’s not a matter of obesity. No images. * This is for for a publishing company and it will only grow. But as it stands WordPress management time is going to be too expensive and I’ll have to look for another solution. * Suggestions, anyone? * [Captaffy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/captaffy/) * (@captaffy) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-admin-extremely-slow/#post-405708) * My page management patch is now compatible with WordPress 2.1.x * [http://marshinsoftware.com/software/wordpress_page_management_patch/](http://marshinsoftware.com/software/wordpress_page_management_patch/) * [werdna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/werdna/) * (@werdna) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-admin-extremely-slow/#post-405710) * So I’ve hit a wall with WordPress; it is clearly not enterprise-grade software. * Our needs are not extravagant (we only need “static” page and date-based articles) but this CMS clearly will not work for us. * Goodbye, WordPress. It’s been (sorta) nice knowin’ ya. * [werdna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/werdna/) * (@werdna) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-admin-extremely-slow/#post-405714) * In case anyone is interested, we now are building a new in-house CMS in Rails to manage our site. * WordPress+WP-Cache2 still powers our domain, which receives about 15k unique visitors & 50k pageviews per day. The site now houses over 1000 pages, WAY beyond the limits of WP, and it’s quickly becoming the worst experience I can possibly imagine with a CMS. * We’re talking 30+ second pageload times in the admin. Any conditional template content dependent on page hierarchy causes an almost exponential increase in load time (fresh, non-cached). * On a dual P4 3GHz, 2GB RAM LAMP server, a total clear of cache will immediately crash the server under the load of fresh page requests. Server crashes follow in quick succession, load averaging around 75-80 until the new batch of popular pages are generated. * It sucks.
