Hello,

after searching a lot about what could be the cause of all this and I’m mostly sure it’s an misconfiguration issue. Please try this:

edit wp-config.php from you http://filmmaker.com.br/ wordpress install and replace:


/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

with:


/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1');

let me know if it works.

Thanks for your help.
I´ve already changed it and now it is taking around 18sec to open now comparing with 8sec from v101.
What else can I do?

I am noticing a similar drop in speed on load time with the newest version. (or when making changes and trying to save). I disabled all plugins and it still drags upon load. (not trying to piggyback your post Helder.. just adding that I am experiencing the same issues. 🙂

Hello all,


@helder

can you try this:

—————— test 1
on the slow site. Remove the social widget and try the loading speed.

—————— test2

1. backup the faster site (theme files)
2. update the theme on the faster site and see if it remains fast.

ALSO:
are you using a vps or a dedicated server? I can have a look at your server configs if you want but I will need ssh access for that. contact@tagdiv.com

Just for a point of reference on our test site under development, with 1.7.2, and no caching or tagdiv/optimizer plugin enabled. This is neither a complaint, nor solution, just an indicator of another look at “speed” on a “typical” review article page online, based in U.S.

Test article page
http://ga-ga.com/785/discwatcher-watching-films-at-home-spring-2013-a-good-day-to-die-hard/

Google Page Speed = 96 / YSlow 73* (desktop; not showing mobile results)
Page load time: 6.46s
Total page size: 2.19MB
Total number of requests: 106
*NOTE: huge number of “errors” due to GOOGLE ads/cookies/etc. with embedded YouTube video and two AdSense ads (top/right) and social media crap. Unrelated to theme.
PAGE HAS: 3 large images in article; two content blocks right side with 3 thumbnails each (6 images) and the 2 related content items below story. Total 11 images plus gravatar, and 2 logos.

14 images, 2 ads, youtube video; Google Page Speed “96” — not too shabby!

Main issues have to do with Google elements, and social media stuff. One javascript file could be compressed; YSlow hates the @style load of CSS via child theme (sigh). Images could be slightly more compressed (option to set compression level via functions file?).

For those looking at Google Page Speed vs “load time” or “payload” … ALWAYS test your “page speed” with AdSense stuff removed or you will always get upset with any WP site ranking/rating/testing. In our case, the above “96” with Google Page Speed is pretty amazing, frankly. 6 second load time, not so much (anything over 4 sec would be considered “bad” these days), but caching plugin and CDN may help with that immensely. Yslow pretty much “demands” a CDN for top speed ranking.

Our goal is 3 sec. max time for a page like that (avg 2.6 sec would be acceptable based on how some of our other sites work) and if/when I get to that, I’ll share our method of optimization, if anybody will want to know.

— PLUGINS:
* all jetpack OFF
* WP-Optimize (speed up your DB by optimizing it!)
* Akismet with site license
* Limit Login Attempts (a must!)
* Regenerate thumbnails
* WordPress SEO by Yoast
* bare minimum tagdiv provided plugins (e.g., animated GIF resize)
