 * I am adding new pages and editing existing as I’m implementing my new site. Loading
   pages takes sooo long! What could be slowing the WP admin so much and what can
   I do to help speed it up? At this rate I’ll be editing/adding 2-3 pages per hour!(
   yes that’s a slight exaggeration).

 * OK, so it’s not the server specs.
 * This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins,
   and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable
   them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
 * If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and
   change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**.
