Website Becomes Extremely Slow and Sometimes Fails to Load Properly After Recent
-
Hello WordPress Support Community,
I have been experiencing a strange performance issue with my website hosted on WordPress.com, and I am trying to understand what could be causing it. The website works normally when I first open it, but after some time of browsing through different pages or making content updates from the WordPress dashboard, the loading speed becomes noticeably slower. Some pages take a long time to respond, while others occasionally show a blank screen before eventually loading.
I have already checked my internet connection and tested the website on different browsers and devices, but the issue appears to be related to the website itself rather than my local setup. The problem is not limited to a single page; sometimes the homepage loads correctly while other internal pages, posts, or category pages take much longer than expected. In some cases, refreshing the same page fixes the problem temporarily, but it returns again later. What can be the issue I am confused.

Hi @gsmneofrpp,
The blank screen, especially when the dashboard also slows down, makes a plugin or third-party theme conflict a possibility if your site uses either. If this began after installing or updating one, follow WordPress.com’s plugin and theme troubleshooting steps.
Share an affected URL when you can, and we’ll take a closer look and help narrow down what’s causing the slowdown.
