Only reason keeping me away from WPEngine

  • This is the only reason that I am not using [ link redacted, please do not post links in reviews ] You see, WPE says that BLC is a resource hog and yes it is. If you use the plugin P3 to check the performance of your plugins, you will probably be surprised to see that this plugin seems to take the most resources of any of them. When you consider what it does, it makes sense, but being so useful and such a drag on performance is tough.

    The other option of course is to get rid of it. I don’t want to run desktop apps. I want to be fully in the cloud. How weird is it that we think we need desktop apps to do cloud applications? There are third-party websites that will check links for you and email you a report, so that is likely what I will do but they cost a monthly fee. I had hope that another plugin might work, but it costs $18 and when I tried to use it gave me an error. The developer says he is working to fix that, but who knows if that will work.

    If this plugin could just be less of a resource hog that would be the best of all possible worlds. Since WPE doesn’t allow this plugin, I have to find a solution to this problem before I switch to them. Or perhaps this will be the reason I never switch.

  • Have you considered a caching plugin like “w3 total cache” to provide better performance?

    Anonymous users can get the cached version of the site, and you can configure which logged in versions get the cached version. Thus you can have the benefits of the link checking while you get the speed you want.

    I am actually using W3 total cache and figured that out. Thanks for the suggestion.
