# admin-ajax.php issue

 * Hi
 * I am using wordpress 3.8.1 with woocommerce 2.1 and the latest Hueman theme. 
   I have reviewed the page speed via [http://tools.pingdom.com](http://tools.pingdom.com)
   and noticed that there is excessive strain on the file wp-admin/admin-ajax.php–
   the actual page loads anywhere from between 635ms to 3secs but wp-admin/admin-
   ajax.php continues to respond between 5 to 20 secs after the page is loaded.
 * I looked into this in more details and discovered that it is Woocommerce sending
   the requests. Even when I deactivated the plugin and keep it installed this still
   occurs. I have tested by removing all plugins and its definately woo commerce
   causing this issue and strain on the db.
 * Can you confirm if there is a way to lessen the impact on this file or if this
   is just how this plugin works?
 * Thanks

 * Hey
 * I actually went back and revisited this and I am now using woocommerce without
   any load issues.
 * Basically I have added a function to my child theme functions page to deregister
   all woocommerce stuff outside of the woo commerce shop pages. Woo commerce adds
   loads of scripts to your whole site which you dont need on every page. I added
   the function below.

 * Now I no longer have the wp-admin/admin-ajax.php issue on my homepage or the 
   majority of the website pages. It will still however exist on the shop pages 
   as it is required to make woo commerce work correctly but thats an ok compromise.
   It improved the speed of my homepage by 2 secs.
 * Hope someone else finds it useful.
