WordPress website getting hung up for 10-15 seconds
- by synergy989
Problem
I have a website (which loads fine): http://testupg.videve.com/
Go to the blog section (and it begins to load, gets hung up, then loads): http://testupg.videve.com/blog/
It's all one WordPress install. The only pages that are getting hung up are the blog page itself and any article page. The video pages load fine etc.
What Have I done and noticed.
If I disable all plugins, the blog page loads fine. I narrowed it down to DisplayBuddy plugins (Featured posts, Carousel, Slider)...as soon as I enable any single one of them, the site loads slow.
The thing that doesn't make sense is, I disabled the sidebar (deleted it from the template) and the article page still loaded slow and it has ZERO instances of this plugin. I disable the plugin and the article page loads fine.
How on earth can this be?
I am hoping this case above can give just a little bit of insight!
One other thing. The video pages use a custom taxonomy so I am wondering if its something to do with the default wordpress taxonomy.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated, I have been at this thing for hours and it's time to call in some support.
Cheers
