Random WordPress page load times…
Purchased 3 Priority Support in advance. Support people are very nice, professional, always helpful and lead to solving the problem, almost always solved without having to escalate.
Like most low cost hosting, it usually starts off good, then for unexplained reasons, more and more issues start to arise.
Been using Hostinger for 12 months now, since August 2019. I'd still recommend Hostinger, and definitely recommend it above other low cost options like HostGator and the like.
hPanel is becoming slower and slower, takes a long time to load pages. As a techie, speed is priority, 5 or more seconds to load a list of email accounts is not good.
Is there a way to login directly to hPanel, without having to go through the member's area?
Is there a way to login directly to phpMyAdmin?
Websites sometimes take long to load and it's difficult to figure out why. WordPress sites specifically. Struggling to find ways to troubleshoot and make sure it just loads quickly every time. Would be great if they had tools for this and maybe link that to Knowledge Base articles with guides to fix any of the problems. Though I could use layers of cache and CloudFlare, the issue is that the sites worked fine before, now only sometimes takes a while, sometimes, sometimes is not easy to fix :-/
What am I supposed to make of it? My best guess is that the server I am on is now filled with shared hosting clients and resources and is sometimes overloaded; That's my best guess to the cause of random page load delay times. :-/
I have paid a chunk of money for Priority Support, it was good, like everything, now I am waiting for 20 minutes on live chat without a response. I'm guessing they have overloaded everything, including chat support, I'm not sure.
Testing hello world blank php page with https SSL Let'sEncrypt. (Aug-2020) :-(

I regret purchasing of the 4 years hosting without proper testing first. However, the promotional price is very good and hard to refuse. Maybe I should upgrade to a higher level hosting at Hostinger (?) one that's not "shared" (?) not sure.
