Hi Ross,
Thank you very much for your research on this topic.
And yes, I would be pleased to test this new version.
Regarding your last comments:
1) “Your header redirects are very slow ā so when using ajax, submitting, and redirecting to get results results in a long round trip ā Iām not sure what would cause this.”
Please, could you tell me more about this? May you have any idea on how to test or debug this?
2) “You database is slow, and wordpress queries in general are slow due to some configuration issue.”
I do not think this is the case. I am running some sites in a powerful dedicated server. Indeed, if I copy and paste the second query (recall that I detected that the plugin was doing two queries, receiving 302 for the first one –see note * below) as an URL in the browser, it resolves very quickly.
* Note: this is the query made by the plugin that is not properly resolved and what I think is taking so long (until timeout): POST http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=get_results&paged=1
Status: HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
3) “Create a clean WP install, install the plugin and do some tests there, on the SAME server environment ā so we know how if it possibly something to do with your hosting.”
As I wrote above, the query is very quickly resolved if I put it in the browser, rather than using the plugin, which makes me think that there is no problem with the server.
4) “Install a caching plugin which will greatly improve database query speeds and in effect the speed your results are loaded.”
I have installed a cache plugin but, apparently, it did not help after preliminary tests. I can test this further if you want, but I think the main problem is the “302 Moved Temporarily” response to the first query.
What do you think?
Thanks!
