You may or may not notice, but wetwired has been running extremly slow this morning and it was running slow last night.  At times it takes over 1 minute to load the page.  I have done some extensive troubleshooting with firefox, and firebug plugin and after turning off all plugins - defaulting back to the generic theme of wordpress all signs point to DB queries being the problem - meaning my host (godaddy) is having DB issues or performance issues.  Posting a static page works just fine and displays correctly.  I also noticed that they just updated php on the godaddy servers - who knows this could also be a factor.

I did some searching to see if there were wordpress performance posts or insight and there was - but I’ve covered the basis for reasons why it would be slow as notated above.  I can only wait until my host gets back to me.  Incidentally, when you call them you get a phone person who is nice but is not technical.  They then tell you they will escalate the issue and you’ll get an email back in a couple hours.  It’s been a couple hours.. no word.  We’ll see how good their support is.
