Wiki Lite is slow: Is Wiki Pro faster?

  • We are constructing a medical wiki site for our client using your Wiki Lite and the preliminary site has a speed issue. The admin page for editing a Wiki page takes 40+ seconds until it is fully loaded and become editable.
    The main reason is that the Wiki pages are classified with a taxonomy with 4,000+ terms, but this is a common issue for all post types on this WordPress site. Even when we detach this large taxonomy from all post types, the Wiki editing page still requires 20+ seconds, while editing pages for other post types load in several seconds.
    In addition, the admin page for listing Wiki pages takes much longer than other post types. We have already 3,600+ Wiki pages, but the listing page should looking only for the first 20 pages.
    We have thought of use of Wiki Pro for the product site, but our client will never accept this issue, so we may have to switch the plugin or platform.
    Do you believe Wiki Pro would solve this speed issue?
    Or, would Wiki Pro provide a site-specific support service?
    If required, we can provide a WordPress ID for you to review the preliminary site.

  • Hey there kaz-nishimura,

    Hope you’re well today ??

    I don’t believe premium version would be better performance wise since it is the same plugin with just additional functionalities.

    Also having that amount of terms is quite a lot so aside from suggesting caching and better server that can handle the situation I don’t think there is much more that we can do.

    If you have questions regarding our premium support please contact us at https://premium.wpmudev.org/contact

    Select “I have a pre-sales question”.

    Best regards,
    Bojan

    But, for the first thing, I exactly asked at the contact page with “I have a pre-sales question” selected, and the guy there told me to open a support ticket here. This means to ask here at the forum, doesn’t it?
    In addition, we believe that we can solve the issue of the large taxonomy by ourselves, by creating an AJAX term selection meta box instead of the standard built-in meta box.
    The real issue is not the taxonomy. As I mentioned, even if we detached the taxonomy from the Wiki post type, the admin page performance is pretty bad.
    Of course, we tried to deactivate other plugins to see if it accelerates the Wiki, but it doesn’t.
    Do you think 3,600+ Wiki pages themselves require better caching and a better server?

    Hey again,

    www.remarpro.com support forum is for questions related to free plugins which is why I suggested contacting us using contact form since your question is related to premium version of the plugin.

    With that being said with having 3,600+ Wiki pages database should generally tend to slow down and in my opinion only a VPS can handle such kind of load, also it would require some amount of caching.

    Please note that this is just my opinion, I by all means can’t guarantee that this will fix the issue.

    Best regards,
    Bojan

    Kaz I am wondering if utilizing the VPS solved your speed issue? We may have same issue due to thousands of pages/categories. Thx.
