    <\/a><\/p>\n

    Lack of WordPress Caching<\/h3>\n

    You can resolve this resource intensive issue by installing either W3 Super Cache<\/a> or if you are seeing many 404 hits then you should install WP Total Cache<\/a>. Also an option would be to install the PHP module OPcache if you are on a VPS or Dedicated server.<\/p>\n

    WordPress Admin Ajax<\/h3>\n
