WooCommerce Products Time Out

[mm9488]

Hey guys – I have a serious problem. Neither my client nor I can edit any products on this site. This site is on a GoDaddy Managed WordPress platform, which comes with 256M of memory. I’ve also adjusted the .usur.ini file to increase max execution time to 120 and max input time to 120. Lastly, I’ve deactivated all unnecessary plugins. Then, as I could not think of anything else to try, I paid GoDaddy Expert Services support to review the site their recommendations (stupid decision). Listed below was their response.

Thank you for contacting Expert Services.

I could really use your help on this one, else I’m going to have to rebuild using a different template or move away from WordPress, which is the last thing I want to do. I’m open to any suggestions.

Hi Mike,

The review is rather lacking to say the least. Any chance you can switch to a better hosting service?

In your wp-config.php file do you have this:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Not related to your above comment about the .ini file.

David – from your personal experience, who offers the best WordPress hosting?

WPEngine without a doubt I’d say, if you have a really small site the Hostgator small plans would likely be better than GoDaddy.

Thanks,
David.
