Not a plugin for a website with many users

  • I had to remove this plugin after I received this from my host:

    Hello there,
    I am writing to inform you that your ChatLite plugin has been deactivated. The plugin has an action that hits admin-ajax incessantly, which caused the server load to spike. The high load contributed to slower performance on your site and on other sites on the server. To prevent any further performance issues or downtime, we went ahead and deactivated the plugin.
    The lines of code that are causing this issue can be found here:
    plugins/chat/js/chat.js
    58: ‘action’: ‘chatProcess’,
    144: ‘action’: ‘chatProcess’,
    plugins/chat/chat.php
    126: add_action( ‘wp_ajax_chatProcess’, array( &$this, ‘process’ ) );
    127: add_action( ‘wp_ajax_nopriv_chatProcess’, array( &$this, ‘process’ ) );
    (In chat.js and chat.php files on lines 58 and 144/ 126 and 127 respectively)
    We suggest looking for a plugin that might meet the same needs but is better optimized by not hitting admin-ajax so intensely. If you have any other questions about this, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.
    Thanks!

  • Hi @spm,

    Thanks for trying out the plugin, though sorry to hear you had the experience with your host. It’s definitely best to use a VPS or dedicated server where possible, as really any chat solution you run locally on your server will take some server power. If you’d like to contact us, we’ll gladly look into this to make it more viable for you.

    Meanwhile, any way you think the plugin can better be handled, do let us know. We’re all ears! ??

    Hey meem!

    Please forgive me for going off topic here, but I’d really like to know the name of the host who sent you that message.

    I’m deeply involved in the web hosting industry, and that’s exactly how a host should respond. I’d like to know who’s doing it right.

    Thanks
    Dennis
