Author Topic: My site's become very slow (Read 4432 times)

Sometime around one of the last theme updates (I'm on 3.3.3) my site has begun to respond very slowly when a search is performed.

At first I thought it might be a plugin conflict so I disabled all of the plugins but that did not improve the speed.

So then I thought it might be my host (although I haven't had problems in the past) so I verified that by installing a different theme and although I couldn't search my images with the theme, everything seemed pretty snappy again.

Then I used a plugin called P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler) to scan my site. The plugin shows what components of your site are taking the most resources and causing the site to be slow. The graph I got is attached. It seems to be showing me that the problem with my speed is a result of the theme itself. Look at the crazy load time for the theme (over 20 seconds).

Is anyone else experiencing a slow down on version 3.3.3? I checked a few other symbio sites and didn't see a problem but I don't know what version they were on.

I haven't had the problem but a few people were discussing this on the Symbiostock forum. You can read more about it here: http://www.symbiostock.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1408

Yeah, my load times are really bad too. I really need to address it because my site isn't too functional as is.

Thanks for the replies! I thought the symbio forum had been locked to new messages. Apparently not. Jeeeeez, I can't keep up with it all.

Hi all. PM from Leo. "I will be putting out an update today or tomorrow. It is going to fix it by stripping out some necessary features and non-essential database use and get back the old performance. Plus a few other things. Also I'm hard at work on a new version of Symbiostock to replace the present one which was in planning since the release of our present one."

Leo put out a new version out this morning. I just upgraded and my first impression is that the search is considerably faster.

seems to be back the way it was earlier -- definitely faster -- a search that took over 30 sec before was done in 6 now (with full 10 networked sites plus promoted keyword searches)
