High resource usage/load on Newspaper site

Hi,

We’ve seen recurring resource issues on our sites using the Newspaper theme which has caused them to load slowly or time out on some occasions.

I installed NewRelic to monitor the performance which identified the issues were usually spikes in MYSQL transactions, most of these seem to be post_meta select calls, with TD composer and TD WP booster legacy consuming the most time.

Are there any steps we can take to optimise the Newspaper plugins or disable the legacy booster if it is no longer required?

web transaction time

Wordpress hooks

Hi alec, what you can do is to move over tagDiv Standard pack to only tagDiv Cloud Templates (to can disable the standard pack), this should improve the performances.
Indeed there are more MySQL requests because each blocks that you have set make a request to the database.
Another solution it is to use a cache on database, this should solve the problem.
Thank you!

Hi Calin,

Thanks for your suggestion, to do this is it just a case of turning standard pack off? Or do you mean creating cloud templates for pages/categories/posts/etc and setting these as the templates instead of the defaults in the theme panel?

Thanks,
Alec

Normally, you need to create or import cloud templates and replace the standard templates to can disable the standard pack and see the difference.
Thank you!
