Having some page loading issues, especially with the Module page from the Administer page and menus, which will then typically end up as a blank page. Refresh sometimes works but not always. Some others do this but only rarely. Pages are slow to load at times to.

Anyone experience this and what was your path to solution? I'm just looking for advice on where to begin troubleshooting this.

I have tried clearing the cache, with no apparent change or improvement. Worse case I'll just reinstall everything as I did make a few backups over time.

I'm also using siteground.com and I'm beginning to wonder if I could have made a better choice.

Cheers,

The most likely culprit for blank pages is PHP running out of memory. Increase the memory allocation and see if it helps.

blank pages are apache/http errors. If you have access to those logs, you should check them immediately after a white page (aka: WSOD)
more often then not, white pages are due to a low memory limit on your server.

check your memory settings using a phpinfo()

adjust your memory, using one of the methods outlined in the FAQ's area of drupal.org

I'll try that, thanks!

Update
Just a quick note that for me this worked as do have quite a few modules loaded.

settings.php

If Drupal is already installed, you can edit sites/default/settings.php. This method will affect only the site using this file.

Locate the PHP settings section and add the following line at the end of that section:

ini_set('memory_limit', '32M');
