Title: Slow Admin .. Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Slow Admin .. * [dvalin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dvalin/) * (@dvalin) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slow-admin-2/) * Running 3.2.1 and my admin is so slow its taking nearly a minute each time the page needs to load something, the front end is fine. * I did of course search and read a few suggestions, I have removed all but the bare essential plugins, and am now willing to remove those as well to see if its one of them, but I have a question/problem. * If I deactivate them, wont that kill/delete all their settings, is there a way I can remove them or turn them off or delete them that when I put them back or turn them back on all my widgets and settings will be still there ? * if I need to delete all and reconfigure all my widgets its gona be a pain.

There are no guarantee’s that it would work. * Thread Starter [dvalin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dvalin/) * (@dvalin) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slow-admin-2/#post-2235149) * ok just deleted all my plugins, and it didnt do squat, so its something with either my server or wordpress. * And since its a problem google shows up a lot on a search I rekon its WP 🙁 all that plugin data lost for nothing. * [Shane Gowland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thewebatom/) * (@thewebatom) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slow-admin-2/#post-2235151) * With ~25 million self hosted WordPress installations, it is likely something specific to your setup that is causing the issue. * Could you post some details on your specific server setup? * There might also be some scripts or stylesheets being arbitrarily loaded in the dashboard. Have a look through the sourcecode and see if anything jumps out at you. It might be worth copy/pasting the source code to Pastebin so I can look through it to. * [analuciadacruz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/analuciadacruz/) * (@analuciadacruz) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slow-admin-2/#post-2235412) * I’m running the 3.3.2 wordpress version in two websites, and my admin panel has been incredibly slow! Any tips about what is making this slow down? * I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled all plugins, i’m only running a contact form plugin and the Wp-Supercache plugin. Also after posting a new post it takes forever to see it on my website! * Thank you! * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slow-admin-2/#post-2235413) * **[@analuciadacruz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/analuciadacruz/)**: Please post your own topic.
