Browser says "Waiting for www.xyz.com" for a very long time
- by Phil
When I load my website (hosted with Ipage). The browser often takes an incredible long time saying "Waiting for www.xyz.com ..." before any elements of the site actually appear. After this "Waiting for" process, the text, images and everything else actually load quite fast.
I contacted my host with my tracert result and they said they optimized my website database and increased the memory available to PHP on my account to 64 Mb.They also said they have checked the issue by accessing my website and found that it is loading fine without any slowness. It seems to be a temporary issue. Please try to access your website with different browser and network.
I tried different browsers and networks but this "Waiting for" process always takes too long.
My website is http://www.surreyextra.com/ . It's Wordpress and BuddyPress. I'm in the UK while Ipage host is placed in the USA, can this potentially be a problem?
I have tried a number of optimizations, like minifying my CSS and JS files and use catching but the problem hasn't improved.
So is it my host's fault, should I contact them again?
