Network Solutions does not play nice with WordPress. I’m not sure why but I ran a test to prove it wasn’t WordPress or the quality of my custom theme creation. I made an exact copy of the WordPress site I built including it’s database as well as all related files and placed it on another host. As you can see, network solutions speed is unacceptable.
Here are the results:
Test for load time of a page request of the same WordPress webpage on two different Hosts:
– Browser cache is emptied before test
– Load time is prior to other page assets loading (ie. images, stylesheets, javascript)
