Plugin makes Media Library slow to load

  • For some time, I’ve been having a problem with my Media Library loading very slowly. It takes about a minute for the first 80 images to appear in thumbnail form. After some differential diagnosis switching plugins off/on, I’ve discovered that my problem goes away when I disable “Find Posts Using Attachment” v1.0. There may not be something specifically wrong with the plugin, and I suspect it is not compatible with another plugin or my theme (a customer child theme using Avada). In addition to the standard thumbnail/medium/large variations, Avada creates lots of other sizes. Perhaps its all those variants that causes the problem?

    Hope that’s helpful.

    Regards,
    Warren

  • Hello!
    I can confirm this issue.
    The problem started manifesting after updating wordpress to version Version 5.8.3.
    Is there a solution for this?
    Thanks!

    Same here. Looks like it was reported several years ago. See the “media page won’t load” thread.

    Thanks for confirming. This helped. My media library has been just crawling when attempting to load images. As soon as I disabled Find Posts Using Attachment plugin, the speed returned.
