Title: Site loading time issue Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Site loading time issue * [Konzi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/konzi/) * (@konzi) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-loading-time-issue/) * Hey there, * I have a problem with my current wordpress installation. [http://bit.ly/GMgxN0](http://bit.ly/GMgxN0) * Everytime i visit the site it first takes exactly 1 min to load, but when I refresh it loads instantly, I’m using the Suffusion theme and I really have no clue what causes this problem… * Hope you can help me, thanks Konzi Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-loading-time-issue/#post-2649644) * It loads the second time with a cached version so it is much faster. * Check your page speed, [https://developers.google.com/pagespeed/#url=http_3A_2F_2Fbit.ly_2FGMgxN0&mobile=false](https://developers.google.com/pagespeed/#url=http_3A_2F_2Fbit.ly_2FGMgxN0&mobile=false) * Thread Starter [Konzi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/konzi/) * (@konzi) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-loading-time-issue/#post-2649654) * Yeah, but how do I get the first page access to load faster? * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-loading-time-issue/#post-2649658) * If you check out the link above there are instructions on what to do. * This redirect, [http://www.waldviertelurlaub.at/](http://www.waldviertelurlaub.at/) is killing you. * [http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/](http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/) another tool that shows what is happening. * This is not a core wordpress issue but instead it is about how wp is being implemented. * Thread Starter [Konzi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/konzi/) * (@konzi) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-loading-time-issue/#post-2649900) * I’m sorry to revive this thread, but I think the problem is different. Let me explain again: * The problem: Sometimes (~3 out of 10 reloads) the site takes EXACTLY 1 Minute to load. Firebug and the built-in Chrome Site Speed tool report the the state is “Waiting” for 1 Minute (after DNS lookup and Sending the request) and then it loads perfectly. I really have no clue where this problem comes from, and agin its not a problem with the content, the browser simply doesn’t get an answer from the server. EDIT: Here is a screenshot of the problem in chromes Network explorer: [http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/7585/screenshotat20120329173.png](http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/7585/screenshotat20120329173.png) * The domain is [http://www.waldviertelurlaub.at](http://www.waldviertelurlaub.at) and I hav to run 3.1.4 becuase the hoster has a some problems installing the new PHP version. Shouldn’t be the source of the problem. * I’m using the Suffusion theme, which shouldn’t be the problem since I also tried the complete blank “Toolbox” theme and had the same problem. So I suspect its a wordpress core problem, but maybe my hoster has messed something up. I don’t know… * So my problem is that something server-side takes exactly 1 minute (or gets abandoned after 1 minute). It may be the writing of a file, or something similar… * I would be glad for any suggestions… * Thanks, Konzi * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-loading-time-issue/#post-2649901) * > So my problem is that something server-side takes exactly 1 minute (or gets > abandoned after 1 minute). * AFAIK it is something on the server. If you run FireBug or web developer tools set to debug scripts you can see nothing loads. No html or scripts – nothing. * And check the numbers here for your site and mine as a comparison. * Yours • 637 ms page generation time • 1582 ms page fetch time • 25 KB/sec effective transfer speed • 81 KB/sec burst download speed • Page size (uncompressed): 39,104 bytes • Content ratio: 3.5% • Blog If-Modified-Since response: 200 • Feed If- None-Match response: 304 • RSD URL: [http://www.waldviertelurlaub.at](http://www.waldviertelurlaub.at)• WLW manifest URL: [http://www.waldviertelurlaub.at](http://www.waldviertelurlaub.at)• Generator: wordpress.org 3.1.4 • WordPress version: 3.1.4 * Mine • 54 ms page generation time • 199 ms page fetch time • 47 KB/sec effective transfer speed • 195 KB/sec burst download speed • Download size (compressed): 9,422 bytes • Bandwidth saved by compression: 73.0% • Content ratio: 28.4% • Blog If-None-Match response: 304 • WordPress version: 3.4-alpha-20192 • Feed If-None-Match response: 304 • RSD URL: lookingoutfromunder.com • WLW manifest URL: lookingoutfromunder.com • Generator: wordpress 3.4-alpha-20192 * Can you try a different server? * After you get the server cleared of any problems you need to implement the changes recommended here.

My problem is that its a site for some friends, and they have a contract with the current hoster so I can’t just move them to different host :/ * Thread Starter [Konzi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/konzi/) * (@konzi) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-loading-time-issue/#post-2649913) * I copied the page to my server: [http://konzi.org/test](http://konzi.org/test) * It runs completely fine with no issues, I just had to disable the slideshow, its not compatible to the newer PHP Version. * So I think the Problem is with the host, right?
