 * I have been helping to migrate this site. Prior to the migration we created [https://www2.managedbypros.com/](https://www2.managedbypros.com/),
   migrated all of the files over, and then updated the options and set www2 as 
   the domain. I then loaded better search and replace, updated all of the links,
   and boom, site worked great.
 * So them comes time to migration. I update all of the links to [https://www.managedbypros.com/](https://www.managedbypros.com/)
   using better search replace and pointed the domain to the new ip (to the same
   ip as www2) and now I’m seeing 2 second+ load times on pages.
 * There is nothing special in the .htaccess.
 * So, I run the updated to go back to [https://www2.managedbypros.com/](https://www2.managedbypros.com/)
   and it’s lighting fast. I move it to [https://managedbypros.com/](https://managedbypros.com/)(
   instead of [https://www.managedbypros.com/](https://www.managedbypros.com/)) 
   and it’s slow again.
 * The cpanel was setup to [http://www.managedbypros.com](http://www.managedbypros.com)
   so I figure if it had something to do with that then I would see some performance
   issues there as well.

    [https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.managedbypros.com/v1QqcyQW/](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.managedbypros.com/v1QqcyQW/)
 * Same server, same folder, only updating all settings from www2 to www.
 * I’m absolutely lost on this.
 * Any thoughts?

 * [https://www.managedbypros.com/](https://www.managedbypros.com/) is redirecting
   to [https://managedbypros.com/](https://managedbypros.com/) , thus the extra 
   time.

 * That is logical and easily explained:
 * When you’re using [https://www2.managedbypros.com/](https://www2.managedbypros.com/)
   it’s “lightning fast”, because there is NO outside traffic going to this URL.
   Every site and server would be “lightning fast” as long as there is zero traffic
   going to it.
 * When you switch to [https://www.managedbypros.com/](https://www.managedbypros.com/)
   or [https://managedbypros.com/](https://managedbypros.com/), now all the web 
   site’s traffic (as well as bots!) is hitting the site. So performance will definitely
   be lower compared with when there is zero traffic.
 * So your test is more of an “apples to oranges” comparison. If you want to have
   a true “apples to apples” comparison, use a stress tester to point similar traffic
   as you have on your main site to www2 as well… then compare the performance of
   the two. I doubt there will be much difference.

 * Thanks for the quick responses.
 * The traffic is minimal. Generally we’re talking a few hits her hour. I has thought
   about this as well. During the testing period I was literally the only one hitting
   the site. I was tailing the log files to actually see if there were some other
   errors that I might have been missing.
 * As for the www redirecting to the root, [http://www.managedbypros.com](http://www.managedbypros.com)
   is the landing site and WP is configured for that in the admin (and all of the
   relevant links). I toy with that idea a little more, but I had tried setting 
   [https://managedbypros.com](https://managedbypros.com) as the primary and updated
   the links there as well, same slower experience.
