  I have been using WordPress for years. Over the last 2 or so the site has become severely lagged site wide. I experience between 3 – 10 second lag per navigation click (e.g. menu item, page link, anything). I assume this is a server issue re: service to New Zealand (where I am based). But it’s the only website I experience this on.

  If you perform a traceroute from your computer, you can see where the bottleneck is located

  Thank you so much for reaching out to us ! I appreciate you reaching out to us inform us what is going on. A 3-10 second navigation delay is definitely ot the type of experience we would like not you to have, After taking a look at if our website I do see that the past few days we did have a bit of a Bottleneck, but everything looks alright now. Here is a like you could take a look at next time this happens: Is WordPress Down
