Hello. Our site, http://www.collegian.com, is hosted through wpengine, which disallows the use of any alternative caching plugins as they say it conflicts with their custom caching environment (https://wpengine.com/support/disallowed-plugins/). However, we’re experiencing serious server timeout errors, especially 50x and 524s, and wpengine support says uncached site requests from the theme or plugin appear to be causing unusually high uncached traffic on the site.
Are there any alternative ways we can manage the uncached requests without a caching plugin? These errors have increased significantly in the past few weeks. We’ve used this theme for a little over a year and really only started noticing these issues this winter. Any help is greatly appreciated
The first thing I would do: would change the hosting. Restrictions are always bad, it is not good practice. 2-I would consider the possibility of optimizing the composition of site plugins and configure caching correctly. Third, your graphics are not optimized. For example https://yadi.sk/i/-b25od5hzHSZ2Q only 3 images are loaded the website for a long time eventually the site weighs 7 MB. To put it optimization plugin ewww pictures. And then you can configure the complex. But nevertheless remains question 1 response TFB – he you have a long in 0.45 ms
I do a lot of website optimization and therefore understand your main problems. According to Pagespeed you have 12 – 38, when normally I do on the sites 90-96. So start with the internal optimization of the content, then optimize the composition of plugins, then check the hosting and put caching, WP-Rocket is best of free Breeze works well. If you need help write.
