I had an issue for the last hour. My Wordpress site took too long to load. Today I installed my https certificate and activated OCSP Stapling. Now it seems as it is fixed, but I'd like to have your feedback on why it should have happened. Perhaps some disk or CPU problem? a static html file was quickly served, but wordpress was way too slow. Now my site seems to be loading fine... (https://elton.al) Would appreciate your feedback. Thank you!

    seems to work fine one day later. Perhaps a hung process?

    Hi !

    I have a tips for all the people how have slow wordpress, install VARNISH !!! :)
    this is the how to on UBUNTU server:

    sudo curl http://repo.varnish-cache.org/debian/GPG-key.txt | sudo apt-key add -
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://repo.varnish-cache.org/ubuntu/ lucid varnish-3.0
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install varnish
sudo service apache2 restart
sudo service varnish restart

    THAT'S IT ! It work really well and now your website open in 1-2 sec

    VARNISH IS AMAZING !!! :D no need to use a non working good CACHE plugins ;)

Hi,
If the server is cpanel, go ahead and install an effective pluggin called "Apachebooster".
This will cache the static and dynamic contents and make the site much faster than before.
You may find the pluggin from the Download Apachebooster Area
