Drupal 6: Extremely-Annoyingly slow although devel (&all development modules) are disabled!

Question

Hi friends,

I'm new at Drupal.

I use Hostgator and working on my first Drupal project, at the begninning everything was fine. but later site has started loading extremely slow! I even needed to contact to HostGator, and they restarted the apache. than it was fine for 10 mins, and same again now!

Sometimes it give mysql errors like The mysqli error was: Too many connections. Sometimes just go to Drupal's Ste Off-line page! and sometimes site works well with few minutes

I use only standard modules. list below;

any advise? Appreciate helps!! Thanks a lot!

If you don't have caching turned on you should at least enable core caching. Also, see make sure poormanscron isn't set too high and since HostGator has cPanel, you may just want to disable that and enable cron via cPanel. Other than that it could be HostGator having settings too low for your site.

If that doesn't work, I offer Drupal customized hosting for $35/month which includes Drupal security updates. Feel free to contact me at [email protected].
