Long Response Times to Your URLs Slowing Loading Time & Outages

    Hi,

    After suffering issues with my website, I’ve had a tech team investigate possible issues and here is their findings.

    After some investigation, we identified an issue with the plugin:
    yet-another-stars-rating

    Specifically, this line of code is causing the delay:

    “yet-another-stars-rating” => yasr_check_valid_url()

    The function “yasr_check_valid_url()” waits for certain URLs it’s trying to connect to, to respond successfully, and that’s causing the prolonged delay.

    This means that your site’s speed becomes dependent on the response times of these external URLs.

    Moreover, if this function takes an unusually long time to get a response, it can sometimes cause your website’s request to fail.

    Our Site Speed feature can help mitigate this, but each time you modify your site, the cache is cleared and rebuilds during the next page visit.

    This makes the delays from “yasr_check_valid_url()” more apparent and can sometimes lead to complete request failures.

    The challenge with some plugins is the lack of consistent quality standards.

    It’s concerning that this particular plugin prevents your site from loading efficiently, waiting for external URLs.

    This plugin has been beneficial in the paste and I’ve enjoyed using it. Is there a fix for this issue being released soon?

    Thank you in advance,
    Trish
