Slow to return search results

Hi Mike,

I use the Astoundify Listify theme and have the following plugins:
– Akismet
– Contact Form 7
– Pods – Custom Content Types and Fields
– Redirection
– Say What?
– SB Welcome email editor
– WooCommerce
– WooCommerce social login
– WooCommerce subscriptions
– WooThemes Helper
– WP Job Manager
– WP Job Manager – Contact Listing
– WP Job Manager – Extended Location
– WP Job Manager – Job Tags
– WP Job Manager – Predefined Regions
– WP Job Manager – Reviews
– WP Job Manager – WooCommerce paid listings
– WP Job Manager Field editor
– WP Smush
– Yoast SEO

Same thing here. It went south after the 4.5.1 update.

Almost the identical set of plugins installed. Also the Listify theme.
But: We are just rolling with the demo content on a private staging site, so it’s just 5 job listings. The 24.000 entries in lananas1 case are most probably not the issue here.

When I disable the job manager the page generation time goes down from 16sec to 10sec. If I then disable woocommerce subscriptions as well, it goes down to 6sec.

No slow queries (Database query time 0.0187sec). No transients in the db.
I replicated the setup on a fresh server but the result is still the same.

Page generation time
6.8256s

Peak memory usage
22.8% of 30s limit 24,814 kB
9.5% of 262,144 kB limit

Database query time
0.0187s SELECT: 94

Obviously something’s broken after the latest WordPress 4.5.1 release.
Not just with Job Manager, but with WooCommerce as well.

Let’s hope this gets resolved soon.

Disable these too and retest:

WP Job Manager – Job Tags
WP Job Manager – Predefined Regions

samklyk WPE too?

If this were a general problem with 4.5.1, all sites would be affected. Thats simply not the case.

Thanks for your swift reply… I had the predefined regions enabled, but there is no change disabling it.

Well, even woocommerce is performing horrible since the update so I doubt its job manager issue. I gonna try to narrow it down; if I find a solution I gonna update it here.

Not sure if you guys are aware of this issue or if it’s reported, but during a theme check I noticed:

WARNING: file_get_contents was found in the file inc/integrations/wp-job-manager/map/class-wp-job-manager-map-schemes.php File operations should use the WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls.
Line 40: $file = file_get_contents( $custom );
Line 42: $file = file_get_contents( $included );

You might wanna add that to your bug-tracker.

That error is actually being generated by your theme, Listify. You can see here that the stock version of WP Job Manager does not have a map directory at all:

I’d suggest contacting Listify about the error here:

Thanks!

I have had this issue prior to 4.5.1, I disabled the 2 plugins (WP Job Manager – Job Tags and WP Job Manager – Predefined Regions) it didn’t make any difference.
Any other ideas of what we can try?
Thanks

I have logged the ‘map’ part of the issue to listify already, this is only contributing to some of the slowness, WP-Engine have identified the majority is to do with the wp-engine data query…. please see below for Wp-Engine email.

The largest contributor to the performance issues that you are seeing on the site are uncached ajax requests and database queries coming from the WP Job Manager Plugin and it’s companion plugins.

Currently every search query that has been made on the site is being stored in your database by WP Job Manager which is playing a large part in causing those queries to run longer than they normally should. Storing a few hundred or even a thousand items in your database probably wouldn’t present too much of an issue but currently there are around 24,000 queries stored in your database, which is causing significant bloat and reduced performance when new queries are being made.

A further breakdown of how the site is loading also shows that external requests to Google’s Maps service are taking quite a long time to load as seen below:

These two issues combined appear to be contributing to the slowness you are seeing on this page.

I showed you how to disable the query caching above. So if you did that, it’s not the problem.

Hi Mike,
I have turned the transients back on (to original code), and also tried to change this to 1 day – but when I do, the transients aren’t storing.
I am running this queries in the DB:

SELECT COUNT(*) as row_count FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE (‘\_transient\_%’); SELECT COUNT(*) as row_count FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE (‘\_site\_transient\_%’);

And my count is always returned as 0, even after I do searches..? perhaps the issue is that transients aren’t storing rather than them being stored?

Thanks

_site_transient and _transient prefix are different.

Ok, the app ‘sweep’ also says 0 transients? Is that the same transient?

I guess there are none then. What is in your file now which you changed?

Indeed integration plugin

I am trying to find out how to add the remote , work from home and home base jobs, just like the jobs by indeed on wahadventures.com can you help me. thanks mark

I have put it back to the original 30 days. But still no transients..

Can you share the file?
