  <p>I recently moved to a new server. <strong>All PHP scripts and resources stayed exactly the same</strong>. The new server is an <a href="http://www.inmotionhosting.com/dedicated_servers/features.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Inmotion Elite Dedicated Server</a>. </p>
  
  <p>Average server load:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Server load 1.25 (8 CPUs)   
  Memory Used 14.14% (1,137,916 of 8,048,804) 
  Swap Used   0% (0 of 4,095,992)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As a network owner, having a quick and nifty site is a top priority. I can't afford to have 2-4 seconds of random waiting time for my members when navigating through-out pages. The old server never did this, it loaded fine.</p>
  
  <p>Since the server load appears to be fine and the PHP scripts are the same, I want to assume it is something with some Apache settings or something like that. I really cannot tell. I tried running the two scripts listed in the Top Answer of the question posted above, but both had long wait times...</p>
  
  <p>I talked to the hosting company but they didn't really know what was going on. Any help with this issue or tests that I can do would be greatly appreciated :)</p>
