im the developer and in charge of a company's Wordpress based site our site started to run a lot slower recently and i am trying to figure it out for two weeks now!

My main problem is that every online site speed test I found is so inconsistent: sometimes i get 1 second load time and sometimes i get 30 seconds .. I cant figure out the problem this way because i dont know if something i changed is responsible for the drop of speed because the speed check tool is inconsistent

I opened up a testing environment and trying to remove my plugins and theme to figure out what makes it slow.. but i find it really hard to tell..

Any Ideas at all? Thanks!

  • I think you need to chat with your server administrators to figure out if it's server-related or your application. – Nathan C Oct 29 '14 at 19:37

New Relic is your best friend in a situation like this. You could be having a API Call to a twitter plugin that's hanging you up, or low IOPS to a database server. New relic will save you hours from digging through logs.
