Final update:
– I deleted another wordpress blog (my wife’s so will need to find another place for this!), so on my shared host I now have one Expression Engine site, and one WordPress site. Was a bit faster.
– Dreamhost moved me to another server with less load and that made a huge difference, the site is now very fast again, both in loading the site and the admin pages.

If I get time I will put the other wordpress blog back on to see what happens, but it looks like running multiple wordpress sites on a shared host will give problems with memory and procwatch.

Thanks to everyone on this forum and at Dreamhost for their help:-)

Thanks Media X, I dropped it to 5 posts and the total load time reported by pingdom was 13seconds, much better.

I’m going to start turning plugins and the theme back on now.

Thanks again for all the help:-) Have a good weekend.

Hi Daniela
It looks like am still on the same server and the site speed is the same. Did the move not happen last night, or did I mis-understand and it was 22:00 GMT on an un-specified date?
Thanks

Hi Daniela
Thanks, that sounds like it would be worth a try.
If you could do that tonight, after 10GMT it would be great.

Hi DH_DEE

Thanks, yes, it is an ongoing issue for months but got significantly worse with 3.6. I have raised support tickets before and another now.

High load, I don’t understand, can you explain reasons that might be please. I don’t have a lot of visitors. Do you think it might be too many domains on a single shared host?

Thanks all:-)

Fraid not, I measure approx 20seconds for site to load, http://tools.pingdom.com/ gives 22.77s

Yes, will take a few minutes, will post back when done.

Thank you for helping:-)
