Extremely slow

    Hi

    This plugin was causing slowdowns and we debugged it and found:

    1) it is requesting a LOT the domain ip-api.com only to verify if the client IP is from EU.

    The issue is that it is kind of flooding it and this site seems to rate limit requests, and most of the times it returns “429 Too Many Requests”.

    It is requesting it multiple times in the same client request..!

    I suggest that you use a local maxmind db (or other product) to verify the IP location.
    Or better simply disable that code, it is there only to show a message for EU clients, i don’t think it’s a big deal to show it to everybody.

    Personally i commented the lines, it’s not worth the hassle.

    2) it is requesting a LOT developers.facebook.com in the same functions, why are you doing this POST request to it since the output isn’t used, is it to refresh the comments there? Are you sure it is needed?

    It is causing a severe delay in response and flooding facebook servers

    Hello @briandd

    Thanks for your valuable comments.

    1) Yes we already decided to make it optional for site owners to show EU Notice or not. And we also received other queries about it.
    It needed because when site owner doesn’t see comments, they write to us that plugin is not functioning. So we decided to display a notice for the convenience of the EU users.

    2) It is basically for scraping the post to Facebook. For some sites, Facebook doesn’t crawl the posts/site and doesn’t show the comments box. But you are right, it should also be the optional as not all sites require this.

    We will make changes in next version and hope you will provide your feedback for our next version.

    Regards

    Really I would also like to know the solution of this forum. I have two platforms that I intend to include the pro version to test:
    https://www.bne.com.br/
    https://epays.com.br/

    And later to include in the other sites of the group of our company Employer, however as we deal with great volume of access, I wanted to know if this question of speed is too costly.

    Where do I find the minimum hosting server requirements to maintain smooth code processing?
