Re: Spots Kenya Launched WOOP
Well, done! I know you have put a lot of time into this project and it shows!
i have noticed that it is really slow… how can i get this sorted do i contact my server… could my site be slow due to all the plugins
There are a number of reasons this could be happening. It could be plugin related. You may wish to investigate instituting object caching. See this article: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/improving-performance/
But, the best initial advice is to contact your hosting firm and have them help you figure this out. Depending on the hosting plan you have, a few of the more obvious causes are:
– There could be memory issues (caused by insufficient memory allocated to your account, by memory leakage, by Apache being poorly configured, your site is hitting a memory limit–although with memory limits you usually receive a message indicating just that)
– You may be hitting a preset bandwidth limit (so much throughput over a given short period of time). But you should receive some sort of a message if this is the case.
– If you are on a shared, non-vps setup, you could simply be getting penalized by other sites unfairly hogging the server’s resources.
– It could be a MySQL server issue
These are just a few of the possibilities. Your hosting firm should be able to help you pinpoint the cause–or at least get close to understanding what is happening.
