It’s probably due to some changes your system admin made to the server without your knowledge.
In my case, switching to ‘php5′ solved the problem.
PHP ver4 has been around for years (latest stable version is php 4.4.9) – and most web hosts are using php4 by default.
PHP ver5 was introduced way back in July 2004 (current version as of this writing is 5.2.9)
However, a growing number of the web hosts have installed php5 and running it concurrently with php4.
By default though, your php applications (eg. wordpress blogs, joomla, etc) are still using php4.
If you want to switch over to php5, ask your system admin what you need to do.
In my case, I just need to edit .htaccess file by adding the following 2 lines of code:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php
That did the trick and my site sped up considerably.
