Hiya,
Wow, yeah that’s quite a slow page (I couldn’t make it load when visiting).
It sounds like something might be caught in some kind of loop, would you be able to enable debugging, that’ll provide us with an error log, I suspect we’ll see the reason in there.
To enable debugging, I like to use the example bit from https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress#Example_wp-config.php_for_Debugging (that will put a file in wp-content/debug.log, once you’ve done that, try to load your site, and then copy the content of that file here and we’ll see if we can get this sorted.
@dashpatel21 – I’m seeing sporadic slowdown on my site after 4.9.2 also.
Not as severe as yours, but occasional page loads of 15 seconds+, when they’ve been 2 seconds until 4.9.2 was auto-updated.
I’ve been working through lots of stuff, but still not found the fault yet.
Will keep you posted.
@dashpatel21,
can you try forcing MySQL use, by adding the following to your wp-config.php file? If there is no difference in load time, just remove the line.
define('WP_USE_EXT_MYSQL', true);
@rossagrant, you can try the suggestion above, but FYI, in the future it would be better if you started your own topic.
I’m just going to do some quick feedback here, as I was waiting with the same code to hear back on the topic. That define alone will cause a site to go offline if your host has disabled MySQL, or your version of PHP is too new, I’d suggest using the following instead to avoid potential breakage:
if ( function_exists( 'mysql_connect' ) ) {
define( 'WP_USE_EXT_MYSQL', true );
}
I am curious to hear if that is the root of it all, I don’t see how it could be, but it’s also the only change that I’ve seen that might have any load impacts.
