Title: Bad performance Last modified: June 13, 2020 --- # Bad performance * Resolved [schwifty5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schwifty5/) * (@schwifty5) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-performance-13/) * Hello, * I’ve recently wondered why my new page with Authentic Theme and the recommended plugins had such a bad performance. I profiled it with WP-CLI ([https://github.com/wp-cli/profile-command](https://github.com/wp-cli/profile-command)) and found out the culprit was the Canvas plugin. Could you please look in to this as this plugin really should not make any impact on frontend performance whatsoever. * I bought the Authentic Theme as I remembered using it some years ago and liking it because of the clean, performant code and slick theme. Seems like nowadays it is sadly as bloated as every other WP theme out there. * Please take a look into this, as this is critical (Canvas taking ~1.5s uncached of initial WP load time is not acceptable). - This topic was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by [schwifty5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schwifty5/).

Really appreciate that! * Please see attached images where you can see a performance profile. It is not really the ~1.5s mentioned because it was profiled on my local machine and probably cached, but you can see how the total initialization time takes 0.7551s where Canvas alone makes up for 0.7038s in the wp_head hook alone. * Also on the init hook Canvas is making up for the bulk of the needed initialization time. * On the third screen you can see some other Canvas hooks taking some time. * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/2mkrOB3) * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/5yKS91Z) * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/rKQ4FnY) * Thanks alot! - This reply was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by [schwifty5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schwifty5/). * Plugin Author [codesupplyco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codesupplyco/) * (@codesupplyco) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-performance-13/#post-12980067) * Thanks! * I’ll pass this over to our developer and we’ll look into that. * Thread Starter [schwifty5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schwifty5/) * (@schwifty5) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-performance-13/#post-13045579) * Is there any news regarding this issue? * Plugin Author [codesupplyco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codesupplyco/) * (@codesupplyco) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-performance-13/#post-13048063) * Hey, * We’re still working on this issue and will be most likely delivering a hot-fix later this week. * Thanks for the follow-up! * Plugin Author [codesupplyco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codesupplyco/) * (@codesupplyco) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-performance-13/#post-13074126) * Hello, * A quick follow-up.

I’ve seen some improvements in performance with the latest update, thanks alot! * Canvas, out of all the plugins I am currently running, seems to still be the plugin with the most impact on my sites performance though. It seems to be better now than before but maybe you can tweak it even a little bit more in the future to further improve on the performance. Otherwise great job, thank you very much! * Plugin Author [codesupplyco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codesupplyco/) * (@codesupplyco) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-performance-13/#post-13215607) * This issue has been resolved in the latest plugin update, so I’ll mark this thread as resolved.
