Why so slow?
-
Navigating my WordPress.com admin pages has become extremely slow, not to mention posting. A new post takes at least some minutes to download.
Someone please has a clue why WordPress is so slow? I have a fast broadband connection (24mbps)

Please post a traceroute from your box to your blog.
With doing a traceroute from my box to your home box, I’m seeing *LOTS* of issues, especially at 213.200.190.143 (ml-c7246-3-ge2.upc.se.) which is above you.
The WordPress servers (at least the one you’re on) is right off of a major trunk line of Level3’s in Sandiego. (Looks like 3 hops of one of the cross country cercuits.) From the traceroute to the IP that you posted from, you look like to be about 8-10 hops off a major line.
We can’t help you if you don’t give us any information.
Oh, and don’t brag about your connection. I’m off a pair of OC-192’s here.

I’m getting the same problem. My blog itself is snappy but the admin pages take donkey’s years to load!
-
SC, see the post directly above yours. I don’t post just to read my own words. :)
You may also want to see if you’re behind some sort of proxy server. Your IP address may be rotating and that may be breaking your SSL connection with the server.

Howdy
I get the issue from 3 different machines i’ve tried — my work PC (on a VSAT), a cyber cafe (on ADSL) and on my home connection, a dialup.
Here is the tracert from my work pc

Well, in this case, step number 2 appears to be a proxy server. (192.* is not a public IP number) Also anything over 100ms is slow and you’ve got 1500ms and more in there.
I just tried to do a tracert to 62.128.191.2 from where I am and every number was under 100ms until I hit cr-01-vl101.dw.direcpceu.com (62.128.191.249) and the times shot way up to over 3k ms each step with timeouts mixed it.
Again, does your ISP change your IP addresses as random? That would affect your login since I believe your cookie is tied to your IP address and you would have to wait until it rotates back through to the original address to find it.

So that would mean us with dial-up connection would have a slow WordPress.com blog?

Would this be different if I had DSL?
Warning: tuxmobile.wordpress.com has multiple addresses;Why is this so?
-
Tux, please review those numbers. Anything over 100 is huge. Looks like your local connect is pretty poor. DSL might help but if it’s offered by the same service, I’d go looking for another ISP.
Why is this so?
Because WP.com uses different servers in case one goes down.
-
Agreed, the local connection is rather poor and if I switched to DSL I wouldn’t stick with this ISP (my present package is very cheap, which suits me at the mmoment).
However I run two other websites on two different webhosts and they’re much faster.
-
Your provider may also be running you through a proxy server that has the site in question cached. I know a lot of the American ISPs do the same thing. (ie AOL, Bellsouth, some Time Warner locations.)
Feel free to post the traceroutes to the other sites if you want.

WordPress started off fine a few months ago and now these last few weeks have been agonizing waiting for admin pages to load after login, let alone posting and editing. Viewing the blog is no problem, it’s just the admin. I have a fast connection and am not using a proxy. What’s going on?
-
-
This tracert stuff is nonsense. I get a snappy speed when I view my blog.
However, I get agonizingly slow delays when I go into the dashboard!!
If the speeds are fine going to the blog itself, then are slow going to the admin section, then the problem is on the server side, NOT in any intermediary hops along the way.
What troubles me is that there is a persistent denial that WordPress.com is having delay problems. Quit blaming our local connections and try to duplicate the problems we are having. It should be no problem, since many users are experiencing these issues.
Sorry for being snippy, I am writing this as I wait for my WordPress admin dashboard to load, and I am still seeing the little firefox icon spinning the tab.
-
You provide absolutely no information about your operating system, browser, router or not, etc. Instead you commence your comment with a pronouncement of “nonsense” and then proceed onward to become nonsensical yourself.
There are over 550 thousand wordpress bloggers who apparently are not experiencing your problem. There are no complaints coming into staff on this. You are the only one on this forum posting about “slow speeds”. And yet, you jump to the conclusion that many users experiencing the same problem out of thin air.
Then you start giving the forum Moderator who is trying to help you orders like “Quit ..” ?!
Well, what troubles me is your attitude. Unless you really want to get to the bottom of your issue through open minded exploration of the realities, it cannot be solved. So while you are watching the spinning icon I’m choosing to sign off before I get “snippy”. -
Dashboard is achingly slow for me too (compared to how fast everything else is on my connection). Don’t have the knowhow to give you any fancy details tho.
-
-
Until now my dashboard takes ages to load. Im lucky if it loads completely, but 98% of it only show me the firefox loading icon spinning. Before, everything was like a snap.
-
Every other page on the net is as fast as you expect it to be and the wp dashboard takes a million years to load any single letter I want to write, please look into this!
