After upgrade to Newspaper 8.7 (via ftp) & deactivate & delete tagdiv composer 1.0 and install tagdiv composer 2.0 everything is very slow at backend, for logged in users (30-45 seconds to switch between WP menus: posts, all posts, create post, pages, media, etc).
System status = all green
Plugin installed = tagdivcomposer & social counter
WPSuper Cache = activated / deactivated the same situation.
Server resources = dedicated server, very powerful, well optimized
If I deactivate tagdiv composer 2.0 the backend (switch between WP menus) speed back to normal.
Have anyone this issue?
Solution?
I have identified the problem.
If you have an antivirus / firewall in your PC and have active Web protection / Scan SSL (for example Bitdefender & Kaspersky) – this might be your problem.
Disable Web protection / disable scan SSL in your PC antivirus / firewall and the speed in WordPress backend (logged in users) – will back to normal.
After testing on several PCs I could see what happens to me on Windows with any browser (chrome, edge, internet explorer, mozilla, opera ….) instead, Mac does not happen to me.
From what I have seen in the link to another topic about this, it seems to be the antivirus, I also agree with this problem because if I deactivate it again, it works normally, so I will see what option is the one that slows down this .
as we have 33 writers around the world (literally) having them undo their PC protection seems to only be asking for problems for the website. wouldn’t it be best to have an update to deal with this issue since this latest update to Newspaper has sparked the problem in the first place?
I’m a little frustrated as a very long time user and buyer for your support service that with this update, I keep hearing that the problem seems to lie with your customers when the 8.7 update has caused the problem. Seems like a horrible way to do customer service.
I just purchased Newspaper, and my wordpress backend is now incredibly slow as well. Maybe 1 minutes between clicks. I switched to my previous theme until this gets sorted out, because it’s painfully slow to do anything.
