Hi there,
We've seen this pattern before with WordPress sites on shared hosting. A few diagnostic steps to start:
- Enable WP_DEBUG and check for PHP warnings on admin load
- Query the wp_options table:
SELECT option_name, LENGTH(option_value) FROM wp_options ORDER BY LENGTH(option_value) DESC LIMIT 20; - Check if any plugins are making external API calls on admin_init
Happy to check your Contabo account directly if you'd like — just DM me your service ID.
