The website and backend were working fast and well, then over the weekend (whilst I was not working on the site) they became REALLY slow. Pingdom reports 20-30 seconds to load the holding page, which is only 1.8kB !
The site is currently hidden by Under Construction plugin, but can be visited at http://www.HorizonYachtEurope.com (if your patient)
I have tried deactivating all plugins, and reloading wordpress already but it has made no change. I have also tried optimising and repairing the Data Base but also no change.
everything seems to load quickly once it starts, but has to 'think' about everything for a long time first.
uploading plugins / displaying admin pages anything I do is the same problem.
Hosted with 1and1 on a professional package, they tell me there is
nothing wrong with the server.
Does anyone know what it could be, or do I need to pressure 1and1.es for an answer?
Any suggestions very gratefully received, before my boss has had enough!
