wordpress sites are slow on shared hosting but plain html/css sites are fast
- by sam
ive got a shared hosting account, unlimited sites, unlimited gb, unlimited bandwidth ect ect.
Of course because its shared and a cheap one at that theres too many sites on each server and it all runs slow due to lack of ram.
What ive found is that my plain html/css/js sites run an awful lot faster than my wordpress sites on this hosting and i was trying to work out why.
Im not exactly sure how a browser sends a request for a page and the full process of request and delivery, but are my html sites running faster as they are just serving code to the browser, where as the wordpress sites are having to make calculations from the database to make each page before its delivered .. is that correct, or am i completly off course ?
