VPS Problem

He provided top outputs above. Don't you see iowait?

I'm not trying to be smart. I'm actually smart enough to read the top output. Have you read the Linux bible? You definitely should

I don't need to read books leave it because I don't know what kind of virtualization you are using and you don't know about our setup.

The problem is what causing the high IO on this particular cloud server while other cloud servers are working perfectly fine.

when posting in my wordpress site, when i click the Publish button to post the article, most of the time it takes about 20-30 seconds to load and to publish the article.

does anybody have an idea why does it take that long?

@xiona_marie i was having same problem with very slow publishing, and i removed all plugins and activated them one by one again, it is now much better, although i didn't roll back all plugins, some of them were useless. In my particular case W3 Total Cache was causing the problems.

[xiona_marie]

@First-Dragon i already removed the unecessary plugins except for the W3 Total Cache. ill remove it and monitor if there is any improvemnt.
thanks for the reply!

Remove the W3 Total Cache. And also you are being the wordpress user . Use Burstable RAM instead of the vSWAP . Which can be more helpful .

You are all forgetting that the top command shows wait time for disk access. It is not because of any other reason than on that drive it is bad, almost full or overutilized.. SO when post is issued it has to wait for the record to be written to the drive...
