Something is slow, and it is most certainly not your host, so what is it and how can Monitor Query tell?
At GMEngine, we have plenty times seen users migrate from other hosts to us – by using Duplicator Pro, claiming that their old host was slow – so they hope we are better.
Sadly, in a lot of theses cases, we do not succeed fully with their hopes. It is not the Webhost that was slow. It was their website.
In this article, I’ll explain how you can qualify the reason for why your website is slow. This can be done by using an standrd WordPress plugin.
