Hi @brunojti,
Thank you for the feedback. It is possible as AAM adds additional overlay on top of the data processing to check if requested content is allowed or not.
There are few things that you can do to optimize your site.
First, if you are not restricting access to your backend or frontend sides, then you can turn off those features on the Utilities tab. This will improve your site speed.
Second option is to turn off “Check post visibility” option if you are not using LIST option to hide any post, page or custom post type. This is the most resource consuming procedure as it triggers check for each fetched by WordPress core post. For more information about this please refer to this article https://aamplugin.com/help/how-does-aam-inherits-access-settings. After reading this article you might realize how much work is happening behind the scene, especially if you have a lot of hierarchical taxonomies.
Finally if you are using LIST option, you can reduce the default number of posts that AAM is trying to cache per request (which is 500 by default). For that purpose, go to Extensions and install ConfigPress extension from the Free section. Then go to the ConfigPress tab and enter next configuration:
[aam]
get_post_limit = 20
This will tell AAM to process only 20 posts per request and it might significantly improve your website performance.
Keep me updated.
Thank you,
Vasyl
How can I turn off “Check post visibility”?
Digging around your code, I noticed that there is a block (if) @ Filter.php:61.
But I could not find an option to disable it.
P.S. When I comment the conditional mentioned above my load time drops significantly.
