According to our webhost rocket.net – our site running the Newsweek Pro Theme is overloading our host with some mySQL queries. Is there any help you can provide to keep those low?

Hi,
I have a few recommendations to help optimize your site’s performance:
Enable Object Caching: This can significantly improve load times by reducing the need for repeated database queries.
Cache on Flex Block Elements: As per the instructions here, activating cache for flex blocks can improve resource efficiency: https://forum.tagdiv.com/use-flex-blocks-cache-option/
Review Resource-Heavy Features: If you’re using the “Most Popular” feature, it may be consuming substantial resources. You can disable it by navigating to the theme panel here: – https://i.imgur.com/IgvZFub.png – https://i.imgur.com/wnBKD6r.png – https://i.imgur.com/Vms107h.png
Please note, it’s advisable to make this change after updating the sorting settings for the blocks.
is there a specific object caching plugin you recommend with this theme?
Hi,
The best one is WP Rocket, but there are other cache plugins that can be used, this differs from website to website and what settings are used. Most of the plugins provide enough options so you can control whether the cache should be used or not on specific sections/functions.
