Slow load time

I’m having the same problem, slimstat loads around 2 secs, under waterfall on gtmetrix if you go inside the tab it clearly comes from slimstat plugin, after only disabling slimstat plugin, admin-ajax.php gone and site loads much faster. Also, google pagespeed clearly shows slimstat slowing down the my website. I hope future updates fixes this, as a slow website will drive away visitors before it even loads, especially on mobile.

Hi @bluebit

When Slimstat is configured to work in Client Mode, all the computation needed to record a new pageview is done AFTER the page is sent to the browser, so you should not see any noticeable impact on your site’s performance. Can you try deactivating both Browscap and Maxmind in Slimstat > Settings > Maintenance, and see if that makes any difference? Also, what version of PHP do you have on your server?

PS: next time, please start your own thread, as it makes it easier for me to track these requests.

This issue has become a real problem for me now. Even with Server mode, I am still having this problem. I have to deactivate Slimstat until this is solved.

I’ve bought a few plugins too. And now it’s useless :- (

I hope you put this as a priority. I used Slimstat in the past because it was fast. It didn’t cause any speed issue.

If you take a look at your site gtmetrix test then you will see it too. https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.wp-slimstat.com/1UIhaOZA

Look at the Waterfall https://www.wp-slimstat.com/wp/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php takes a very long time.

I built my site for speed. And that’s the only thing right now that slow down my site.

Is possible to have Cloudflare cache it?
