# WordPress : Slow response

 * Recently when working with WordPress (as admin), it has become very slow to respond
   to edits and changes in general. Screen goes black, but after 20-30s the screen
   reappears.
 * Generally the website response for users is fine except when members attempt 
   to access their restricted area the login process (via Members plugin) is very
   slow. They do get in eventually but imagine many just give up.
 * Any clues or tools that might identify the problem. Have tried several browsers
   and platforms and the problem is the same.
 * Thanks for any help or pointers

 * Hi there, have you tried to disable plugins one by one and then test?

 * Will start by thrifting out redundant/unnecessary plugins one by one and see 
   what happens.
    Thanks for the tip. John

 * Have thrifted out unwanted plugins, removed or deactivated. The ‘Smash Balloon
   Instagram Feed’ was the most recent plugin, but deactivating it makes no difference.
 * Have also thrifted out server space to around 45% of quota, but with no perceivable
   difference in response times. Just seems to spend so much time waiting for WordPress
   to respond each time.
 * For users, the response time is good except when they want to login to restricted
   areas via …/wp-login.php
 * Never used to be like this, so something must have changed.

 * Hi [@ticktock247](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ticktock247/) , if you’re
   still facing this issue I’ll recommend you install Health Check – [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   and enable Troubleshooting mode then check if it’s still slow.
 * If the site is still slow after enabling the Troubleshooting mode, then you can
   install and activate “Query Monitor” [https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/).
   This plugin helps you view the performance of your site and page loads, see this
   article for more tips – [https://wp-rocket.me/blog/how-to-fix-slow-wordpress-admin/](https://wp-rocket.me/blog/how-to-fix-slow-wordpress-admin/)
 * I hope these help.
