[Plugin: User Access Manager] 1.1.4 very slow

This plug slows down my site so much that I get a server time-out. I use wp3.1 at Godaddy on Linux Shared hosting.

Greetings,

I too have a similar problem. My website comes to a crawl a day or two later. Unfortunately I am not technical enough to give any helpful debug to troubleshoot, but disabling the plugin solves the issue.

I noticed another post about custom permalinks, so I will give that a test, but please include me as a backup to the others above who have complaned about this.

@yogidave – I had the same problem and even switched from godaddy to someone else to see if it was godaddy. It wasn’t godaddy.

Hi,

I also found a big performance hit when running this plugin and I’ve tracked it down a little.

Om my 3 second page load, it spends 2 seconds in wp_nav_menu(). I have a menu with ~20 items, and this execution time is not reasonable. With a little digging I realised user-access-manager adds filters that gets executed for every menu item, and those filters are really slow.

In user-access-manager.php I commented out

#add_filter('wp_get_nav_menu_items', array(&$userAccessManager, 'showCustomMenu'));

and

#add_filter('get_terms', array(&$userAccessManager, 'showTerms'), 10, 2);

This really made a difference in performance 🙂

This is how far I’ve measured performance, but by looking through I guess that _getTerm() is slow, since it is calling get_posts() every time.

I cannot share the database with you, but it contains 200 posts in 70 categories.

Hope this helps,
Eloff
