Slow search function

Hi,

As Chris stated the theme search gets the live result using ajax. As the request is made to the server a slow response from your server could also cause this. You can test our demo and see how the theme’s live ajax search results are pulled there: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/

I’ve tested your site using google’s page speed insights testing tool and as you can also notice it returns a server response time improvement recommendation: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnaturguide.dk%2F&tab=desktop

I suggest you first try this without any other plugins active, leave just VC plugin active the check again.
You could also follow their documentation for the server response time and their recommendations: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/Server
Also consider using a cache plugin and to improve the loading speed look the mysql query cache: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-cache.html We also use it on our demo.

Thanks

Thanks Chris I’ll note your suggestion and consider it for future versions.

Hi,

Unfortunately you cannot block this using custom css, but you can try to remove this function from td_data_source.php – http://screencast.com/t/woVwnjCQB

Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry for delay!
The menu live search is made custom for our theme and there is a delay because it’s doing an ajax search to get results. Like I suggested above you can turn off suggested results – http://screencast.com/t/h9MJZ4UaRSw
Also changing here to on you will have the same result like on your widget – http://screencast.com/t/fYzbnJRU

Hope this helps!

Hi,

I haven’t run any performance testing tool on it but at first sight the search functionality seems to work the same on both locations (note that the header search placed in the menu uses WordPress’s search system).

If you want another implementation for the header search you can replace it here: http://screencast.com/t/ROnmzxmE

You can use the page search form, the one present on your search result page: http://screencast.com/t/MmomrpZW – http://screencast.com/t/TvJWvvovZO and change the style for it.

If you don’t have condign knowledge you can hire a freelancer to do it for you as you need custom work for this. You can find one on site’s like: envato.studio.com

Hope this helps!
