Extremely Slow Wordpress WooCommerce website (Both in admin panel and end user)
14:34 14 Jan 2017

I have a woo-commerce plugin installed within IIS 8 hosted in a shared windows hosting environment along with roughly 27-8 plugins related to my theme (Porto Theme) and some other functionalities. Unfortunately, I have a very slow response when adding/editing a Product or even visiting the website.(It takes about 25s or so to edit or add a product!)

I was wondering what could be the problem here. Some said this is due to the fact that you are hosting Wordpress on a windows server. So I did try this configuration within a Linux server, didn't make a dent!(it got even slower!)

This is my configuration for the windows case:

max_execution_time 180
memory_limit 128M
post_max_size 32M
upload_max_filesize 32M

My database is very light (around 30MB). I have also tried wt3 cache, autoptimizer, and minifications plus defering of javascript.

I tried this setting in Windows VPS, it got twice as fast as the shared hosting environment. But my shared hosting company is a reputable one and has some standard Memory and CPU allocations.

No Luck so far in finding the problem ... Is Woocommerce generally a heavy plugin or something?
