Excessive admin-ajax.php loading time

  • I have been using this plugin for about one month and found it very useful. So I thought that I solved my needs for WP statistics, until today, when I noticed, by testing some pages by GT Metrix, it caused excessive loading time of admin-ajax.php. What I have seen in the GT Metrix waterfall was confirmed in Chrome Developer Tools -> Network. So I tried uninstalling this plugin, and the speed improved notably, no ajax.php excessive loading time either.

    Can you please check this, and possibly come up with some solution?

    Thanks.

    Hey,

    Thanks for opening this topic. I’m investigating this issue in both WP Statistics and Slimstat Analytics, and I believe we need to use an asynchronous method to send the request in the background so as not to block the main thread.

    Will let you know once we started on it.

    Hello Mostafa, and thanks for your reply.

    I am not sure if it stops the main thread.

    This was however the case with the cache plugin active, and timing might look different if it had to be generated in real time.

    Anyhow, it would be best if the statistics do not put much load on the server anyhow.

    Yeah, actually I mean improving the response time. correct.

    Thank you for sharing with us!

    Hello ,
    I have the same problem.
    When someone visits the site , Ajax admin generates spikes. When I deactivate the plugin it stops.

    Except that , I use elementor with woodmart and I have Ajax product tab enabled. When someone presses a tab to just see products , slimstats enables Ajax admin again with type ping and it generates traffic and it makes the tab slow.
    I can share video through email if you want.

    I can also confirm this problem remained more or less the same. In the meantime, I moved to a better-performing server, but still, out of the typical two seconds page loading time, 0.5 seconds is associated with this plugin.

    And it is a pity, this is generally a great plugin.

    I have this issue too, so I’m following this thread to see how it will be resolved. Your input will let me know when to reactivate your plugin. The impact on my website’s load speed is too great to keep it.
