  I posted a topic earlier this week concerning how slow my blog is
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/updating-is-slow-and-sluggis?replies=1#post-929914

  and still nothing has been done. It took over 10 minutes to login to wordpress today. I haven’t even thought of updating as it is so slow.

  I am not sure what is going on but if someone could give me a clue that would be great start.

  It is really frustrating me now and I am starting to think of other options

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you have AdBlock running please try disabling it.

  If you are not using the https:// secure log in please try using it.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  If you are running IE9 in private browsing mode disable that. What it does is reduce the functionailty of the browser to IE7 and IE7 has not been supported since last year.

  These are the troubleshooting steps we take whenever any issues like this arise:
  clearing your browser cache and cookies > http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
  using the browser with all extensions or add-ons disabled
  updating the browser to the latest stable version (not a buggy BETA browser version) http://browsehappy.com/
  confirming third party cookies is enabled http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=61416
  confirming JavaScript is enabled http://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12654
  confirming Flash is updated http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and if required installing the latest version of Flash http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
  resetting your router and modem and rebooting your computer
  then logging in using the secure https:// log-in see http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
  trying another browser

  If those do not work for you then we need to know
  (1) how you are connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com. The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers. Also note that the main dashboard isn’t designed to work with touch devices through the tablet and smartphone browsers.

  (2) exactly which browser and version of it are you using. If you don’t know click here to find out > http://whatsmyuseragent.com/
