I recently noticed that my blog website was unusually slow. Initially, I thought it might be a server issue, so I took a closer look. However, the server seemed to be running smoothly without any apparent problems.

Next, I decided to check the databases, but everything there appeared to be fine as well. Still, the sluggishness persisted.

Digging deeper, I discovered something peculiar. A call to the following URL was taking an unusually long time to load (approximately 2 seconds per request):

https://www.kobi.co.il/wp-admin/admin.php?page=stats&noheader&proxy&chart=admin-bar-hours-scale

This led me to suspect the Jetpack plugin. To test this hypothesis, I went into the WordPress admin panel and deactivated the Jetpack plugin.

The issue was resolved immediately and the website’s speed returned to normal.

If you’re experiencing similar issues with your WordPress site’s performance, it might be worth checking if Jetpack is causing the slowdown. Deactivating it could save you a lot of frustration!

Kobi.
