Calendar View Very Slow to Load

    Hi!

    A site I’ve designed is running The Events Calendar and I’m having big issues with the load time for the calendar – http://inchmoregallery.co.uk/events/

    The page does load eventually, but it takes a *very* long time. Also when the page has loaded it doesn’t load up the main site menu (even though the calendar has now loaded, other page elements seem to load OK).

    I’ve enabled the caching in settings. I’ve currently changed the settings to only load three events per page.

    I’ve also checked for conflicts by changing to a basic theme and disabling all other plugins – the calendar loaded in exactly the same way.

    Please can you help?

    Just wanted to add, we only have a small number of events (though each might run over a few months) – so I don’t think it’s an issue with having far too many events. We’ve got a dozen or so, not thousands.

    Hi,

    Thanks for trying out our plugin and sorry for the late reply.

    The performance of the plugin depends on caching, coding, and the server.

    Besides our caching do you have a plugin such as WP Super Cache installed?

    And what about your hosting, is it dedicated hosting or shared?

    Let us know.

    Thanks

    Hi Brian! Thanks so much for your reply…

    I can’t think of any plugin we have running which caches except Jetpack caches some images doesn’t it?

    The hosting package is a shared one.

    Thanks so much for your help!

    Howdy Nicki,

    Thanks for elaborating. Adding a caching plugin like WP Super Cache as Brian suggested might really help here, it’s worth a shot.

    But, keep in mind that calendars are naturally a bit more taxing on DB servers than just blog posts. Where a list of blog posts only needs on query to show a page, a month view of a calendar needs over 30! At least one for each day due to the constraints of MySQL. Thus if your shared server is already a bit overloaded, then you might experience slowness when viewing the calendar. If caching doesn’t help, you might ask your provider if there is a faster shared server you can be on, or just a faster type of server.

    Cheers!
