[Plugin: GD Star Rating] Slows down Admin Panel and Site When Activated

  • This is a great plugin and I am excited to use it. However when activated it slows down the page load on both my site and admin area considerably. I do not have high traffic, my site is pretty much a new install.

    I can’t tell if it is a caching issue. I don’t have any caching plugins installed right now.

    Anyone have any tips on how to speed up my page load with this plugin installed?

  • I have measured plugin several times (benchmark available on official website), and the slowdown is minimal, even on high traffic websites, and there are many high traffic websites that use it.

    If slowdown is considerable (and it happens) it’s always caused by bad settings or (in most cases) by bad written theme that activates many different loops and doesn’t use them as they should causing some parts of plugin to execute multiple times.

    So far, all reported speed issues were caused by the reasons above.
