Concrete5 loads very slow

Permalink
I really hope some can help me on this one. Not much information to go by, but lets try.

I recently developed a site on concrete5 on a subdomain for a staging environment. After the client checked the site and made a few changes they asked me to make it live on a different server.

So i switched of caching on the staging site and turned of pretty urls. I then copied the site to my local machine and ftped it up to the new host. I changed the config.php file to point to the same database and also changed the site root and relative paths.

I changed the permission to allow complete read, write and execute.

So when I accessed the site, it took ages to load (I am actually typing this post while waiting for the site to load).

I have no idea why the site is so slow.

Is this due to the server itself or some setting that I might have missed. The site on the staging environment is almost immediate.

Here are the links to the staging and live site.
Staging:http://africore.kedaitsolutions.co.za/...
Live:http://africore.co.za/

UPDATE: The database is exactly the same, but on different servers for the live site.

You don't say if you turned caching back on. If not might be worth a try. If you have then try it off.

That said, another thing to consider would be the accessing the database remotely. In my own experience, remote DB never matches the performance of locally hosted especially on lower end hosting where the host configures the stack to work well together rather than independently of each other.

Hope that's some help.
