Okay. PHP website question:
A client has an apache2 web server with multiple PHP based websites on it, probably around 20.
One of the websites just started taking a really long time to respond, at first, but then when it finally does load it seems to work mostly fine with quick response times to subsequent page loads for sub pages on the website.
The other websites on the same physical server and apache2 seem to be fine and do not exhibit this behavior.
The dev site version has a tool to show "build time" in the footer. It is really long on first load (often over two minutes) but then super quick after the client session has made a connection.
Any suggestions on how I should go about testing to figure out what is wrong?
Note: I am not the PHP programmer for these websites, but the sysadmin, but I am in close communication with the programmer.
