Sight slow, times out, memory intensive

Permalink
I've been having a lot of issues with my site timing out, & being really slow. Previously I was on a shared server at dreamhost, but I upgraded to a vps and installed a clean copy of 5.5 and essentially started from scratch. Since doing so I have had to boost my memory allocation up, which is costing me 5x what I was paying for hosting, and Im still having issues. The site is pretty barebones, as I havent really been able to complete it due to the slowness. I have a facebook feed on the front page and a rss from a blog, but thats about it.

Im running a cron job that is supposed to import 10 products at a time every 15 minutes into ecommerce. I was told by dreamhost that the cron job was not memory intensive and should not be an issue. At this point Im about to jsut scrap concrete completely, as I can not figure out what is wrong with my site. I've alreeady invested a lot of time and a decent amount of money into trying to get things to work, and I just can't get things to function. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

the site is apoprecords.com
I can post the environment once I can get the site to load. It seems to work about every other refresh

why your max_execution_time just 5? its 5 second or minute

I had the same issues for months. I found the problem to be mainly with a cheap Internet Provider who's servers are hosting too many websites. Tryhttp://www.webpagetest.org to test your site. Test results on my old site came in at 15 secs. I junked that Provider and moved to HostMonster.com and now the performance tests under 2 seconds.

Hope this helps,
Dennis
