Very very very very slow performance

    Just installed this plug-in as it looks like exactly what I’m after. However, I’m finding performance ridiculously slow the the point of making it unusable.

    Simply clicking on the icon in the left hand bar can leave me waiting several seconds before the menu pops up. Selecting, say, Add New makes the page appear (sometimes up to a minute later), but I can’t edit anything on there for an age. At the moment, I’m stuck on the “View shortcodes” page and can’t get anywhere else – WordPress has locked up.

    When it gets stuck here, my CPU load shoots up as does my CPU temperature and the fan in my laptop goes crazy! There’s obviously something up…

    This is not normal behavior – my tests with the P3 Profiler show the plugin to be quite fast and negligible effect on admin panel loading.

    You may have a conflict with another plugin – try disabling them one at a time to troubleshoot – also see https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Troubleshooting

    Post back here with what you find.

    Think I’ve got it. Not a WordPress plug-in, but a browser extension.

    I’m using Chrome (v41.0.2272.101 m (64-bit)) with about 20 extensions. Disabled them all and the speed was much better (though still a little slow, however I could work with it).

    Clicking on the icon took around 7 seconds to bring up the list of shortcodes, and selecting one to edit took 6-7 seconds to bring up the editing screen and allow editing to take place.

    I re-enabled extensions one by one with no change to timing at all until I reached TamperMonkey. Strangely, the only script I have installed for this is YouTube Centre so it shouldn’t even *look* at the page within WordPress as the script only deals in changing the layout of YouTube.

    But it does, or must. It took 10-14 seconds to bring up the list of shortcodes and 20-30 seconds (and increasing each time I returned) to bring up the edit page to the point where Chrome asked me if I wanted to close the page as it’s unresponsive.

    Mystery solved. I’ll get on with playing with Shortcodes-UI now!

    One bit of feedback – the icon used is very dark. I’m using the default theme for WP Admin and I can barely see it in the sidebar. It looks like a blank space!
