What I notice is that as soon as a lot of visitors come to the website, it starts requesting a lot of resources, causing the website to load slowly. My server is a powerful server that is practically brand new with 128 GB of memory and SSDs; there are multiple websites hosted on it that all attract between 1,000 and 6,000 visitors and don’t experience any issues, except for the site with the Newspaper theme.
Hi,
The website is very slow, as if the caching is not working at all or something is consuming all the website resources. Looking at it with the browser inspector the page appears to be cached by WP Optimize. I’ve used this plugin before and the website should be much faster with it.
I noticed that there are a lot of admin ajax requests made by the Ad rotate plugin https://prnt.sc/iTqlq3PQCXq7 I believe those requests are related to this setting from the plugin https://prnt.sc/VwTLdQuvYk4S which is and was known for causing serious problems with the website performance. I suggest testing to see how the website loads without this plugin. Make a quick test, deactivate it, clear the cache, then check the website. Or disable the stats tracker and test https://prnt.sc/vAgJ7054BkTT
If the situation is the same, it must be something else. In that case I suggest to send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide access to the website, so we can take a closer look.
Thank you!
Switched it off but also switched off the social counter pluging and that did a lot
After installing vanish on the server.. faster then fast now
That did a lot indeed, now it’s much faster, as it should be. In the future if you want to try something different and probably even better, in my opinion the WP Rocket plugin is one of the best plugins there is for caching and optimization. I think they also let you try the plugin as a trial before paying for it, so it can be tested at any time.
Thank you!
Thats a extra plugin, Varnish is server wide, not a plugin, so much better 🙂
