Forum Causes of a slow site?
 

My site has been working fine for many months. Nothing has changed, I haven't upgraded since 4.0.3 and things were fast as they should be. Then a couple days ago it started to be slow, 30-45 seconds for a page to load and posts to be submitted is crazy and very irritating.

I've tested on other computers and have had other members confirm it's slow for them too.

What could be going on at the server?

Is there any software or anything that could be put on the server by the host that could be causing scripts and database info being pulled to be so slow?

If anything please help, I've talked to my host a few times but they are only saying there were some Bots that were really active they banned. What are other potential problems that could cause this, but it's still slow.

What's more annoying than slow page loads?
