[Plugin: Events Manager] Publishing events incredibly slowly

  • Hi there, I’m looking for some insight about how the plugin works.

    When I publish an event, it takes a VERY long time. Like 30 sec – 1 min. When editing an event it’s just fine. As it publishes, the rest of the site is slowed down as well.

    Any idea why this would happen? I’m just trying to make the site as resilient as possible for our upcoming heavy traffic days and this hints at some unknown complications.

    Thanks very much.

  • few things to consider:

    1. connection speed
    2. server settings

    also, you can use browser’s console (ctrl + shift + j for chrome > network) to analyze which parts on your site takes time to load.

    The thing is, it’s only when I PUBLISH events that it takes a long time to load.

    What exactly is happening when I publish events? Is it creating temporary tables? Is it talking to MySQL? Knowing this may help me figure out what’s going on.

    I don’t doubt it’s something to do with my server settings/how it interacts with WordPress, I just need to know what ACTION is taking place so I have somewhere to start. Thanks.

    depends on what you have installed on the side (i.e. buddypress, other plugins that hook into CPTs).

    first thing we do is aside from the wp_posts and postmeta tables, we save to the wp_em_… tables.

    could it be you’re creating recurring events?

    I’m kind of (really) amateur, can you explain what CPTs are?

    We don’t have a lot of crazy plugins: we use W3 Total Cache with Memcached and APC which I know can cause issues if not configured properly, but literally only this ONE thing is causing any issues.

    Earlier today CloudFlare even told me the site was down when I foolishly tried to publish 3 events at once. The events aren’t recurring, recurring events aren’t even enabled, actually.

    It looks like the problems is wp_em_…tables then? MySQL issue?

    Please see the link below and hope it helps.

    made me chuckle… did they actually say ‘foolishly’?

    you probably need someone that knows their way around servers. the comment above doesn’t say much for this company because 3 concurrent submissions is pretty trivial and shouldn’t have any speed impact.

    try without other plugins enabled, maybe it’s one of these doing stuff.

    Haha, no, foolishly is my own words. I know that publishing events for some reason slows the server down to a crawl so it was dumb to try and publish 3 at once. The server is 100% solid and zipping otherwise which is why I’m so stumped.

    Is publishing events different from editing them? As in, is the interaction with the server different?

    I’ll try disabling other plugins, thanks.
